Big Island Resort:The Fairmont Orchid Hawaii

The Fairmont Orchid Hawaii is a member of The Luxury Collection
of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide. This beautiful oceanfront
resort on the Kohala Coast sits upon a sparkling, white sand
beach.
In 2002, the resort became a member of the world-renowned Fairmont
Hotels & Resorts, and unveiled its newest edition of the
Oceanside Kahakai Bar and Beach Club buildings. On property,
there are 36 holes of championship golf at the Francis H. I'i
Brown golf course - home of the Senior Skins Game for a decade.
You'll also find the 10-court tennis facility - a K-Swiss Resort
Academy.
If you are looking to spend time in the water, enjoy snorkeling
in the clear waters of Pauoa Bay, try scuba lessons in the
10,000-square-foot swimming pool, or a refreshing dip in one
of the lava-enhanced whirlpools. For those who week the ultimate
relaxation, try the "Spa Without Walls," oceanside
massage, or sit back and watch the Kohala sunset from the
vantage point of a swaying hammock.
Whether you are staying for one night or one week, the resort
has several dining and lounge options for you. The dress code
ranges from casual to evening resort attire. Visit the Ocean
Bar or the Kahakai Bar for a refreshing tropical drink just
steps from the beach. The comfortable Paniolo Lounge features
oversized leather couches, billiards and live entertainment
on the weekends. The Orchid Court offers family dining with
an emphasis on Pacific Rim cuisine; and for a memorable dining
experience, try the award-winning Brown's Beach House and
the uncompromising menu at The Grill.
