"Plan a trip to Hawaii with Hawaiian Airlines' bundle deals that include 20% off five nights at a resort with flights to Maui, Oahu, Kauai, and the Big Island."
"A U.S. state made up of volcanic islands in the central Pacific, known for its diverse natural scenery, oceanic surroundings, and warm tropical climate."
"One of the previous locations for The White Lotus, known for its stunning beaches and tropical ambiance."
"As the westernmost state in the U.S., Hawaii is perfectly placed for gorgeous sunsets. Head to Kailua Bay on the Big Island to watch the sun drop into the ocean against a backdrop of dark, volcanic rocks, or drive up the coast to Hapuna Beach State Park for a sunset view silhouetted against one of the state's best white-sand beaches. No matter where you go, bring a picnic to enjoy as the sun’s rays turn the sky and water into an orange-and-pink light show." - Travel + Leisure Editors
