Hawaii has beautiful resorts on each of its islands. These 18 SheBuysTravel-tested and recommended Hawaii resorts offer luxury ocean views, immersive Hawaiian culture, some of the world’s best beaches and plenty of fun for kids and adults. Whichever Hawaiian island you choose, you’ll leave with an appreciation for the special meaning of ‘ohana’, the Hawaiian word for family.

Royal Lahaina Resort

2780 Kekaa Dr.

Lahaina, Hawaii 96761

This is the resort for travelers who are all about the beach. Water activities include stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking and snorkeling at nearby Black Rock. While you’ll find swimming pools at the resort, think basic. Here, the beach is the main attraction, including the ocean view from the rooms, which left SheBuysTravel contributor Julie Thompson-Adolf dreaming of ways to move her family to the island so she could take in the view every day.

In addition to the hotel, the resort offers cottages and suites, providing room for families to gather.
