Hawaii Luxury Vacation
|
Indulging in an Hawaii luxury vacation can soothe a person, satisfy an appetite for the exotic, and bring about a spiritual sense of well being. Hawaii is known for its extravagant benefits. There are many Hawaiian islands. However, six major islands; Hawaiis Big island, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui, and Kauai, are the most popular. Each island has a fascinating story to offer. Every story is unique and satisfying as it tantalizes the senses and stirs the soul. And whatever luxury means to you, Hawaii is bound to have it stored up. For some, luxury means having the best things money can buy, for others, being one with nature may be most important, and still others, being pampered may be most critical. It's easy to get it all in Hawaii.
Using a local travel agent, luxurious resorts, hotels, villas, and private homes are hand selected for a memorable Hawaii luxury vacation experience. Each property has its own set of amenities. For example, if a person wants seclusion, they can choose from barefoot luxury in private spacious, bungalow-style ocean view spa cottages in Kona village on Maui or a private villa in Lanikai, Oahu. In one of these getaway spots a typical guest experience might include finding local fresh fruit and snacks piled high in a welcome basket. Balinese rattans, Japanese antiques, or Hawaiian period pieces fill the common areas while feather-top beds with plush bedding cover king-sized beds in king-sized bedroom suites. Custom-blended coffee and exotic gourmet herbal teas, plush organic cotton towels, robes, and slippers add to guest delight. And there is plenty of privacy. Everything that adds to convenience, solitude, and peace is ready and available. Nothing that detracts or distracts from the purpose of the vacation is present. Things like irons and ironing boards, hair dryers, make-up mirrors, in-room safes, and water are usually included at no additional costs.
On the other hand, seclusion may not be the ultimate goal of your Hawaii luxury vacation. Perchance, a person prefers to be in the thick of things and considers every convenience to be the ultimate in luxury. Try the Hawaiian island of Oahu. Oahu announced Hawaiian hospitality to the world in 1901 with the building of the famous Moana Surfrider. This luxury facility is so reknowned it actually has it's own nickname, "The First Lady of Waikiki." From the opulence of the grand entrance to the unique architectural design of the older rooms, guests can be assured of the presence of luxury. The conveniences available in the more palatial resorts like "The First Lady of Waikiki" consists of amenities like; full suites with separate sitting rooms, refrigerators, internet access, large, flat screen TV's, private balconies, writing desks, VIP turndown service, 24 hour room service, late check-out, and drawn lavender aromatherapy baths.
When a person comes on an Hawaii luxury vacation to de-stress, a spa experience must be included in order to get the most out of the voyage. There are a variety of massage and spa treatments that are easily attainable. Take the ancient Hawaiian practice of placing heated rocks on the body to relieve sore muscles called Lomi Pohaku. This method of massage Increases blood circulation and muscle relaxation while releasing cramps, easing muscle tension, and loosening congestion. Another popular Hawaiian massage technique is simply called LomiLomi. Practitioners of LomiLomi use stones, sticks, feet, knees, elbows, knuckles, fingers, forearms and yes, even palms to generate broad rhythmic strokes over the entire body. A unique feature of LomiLomi massage is that prayer, meditation, and a healthy diet are encouraged by its practitioners.
For some, an Hawaii luxury vacation may mean something more spiritual. A person may want to include the spiritual massage practice of Reiki in order to obtain more balance and harmony into their being. Breaking the word, of Chinese origin, into two parts "Rei" means supernatural, while "ri" means force. Typically a whole-body Reiki treatment last approximately 45-90 minutes. The Reiki practitioner may use a non-touching technique, where the hands are held a few centimetres away from the recipient's body in specific or intuition based positions. Treatments are usually carried out without talking. The client commonly feels warm or tingling sensation and in the area being treated which leads to deep relaxation and a general sense of well-being. "Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey." (Deuteronomy 6:3)
Hawaii is rightly acknowledged as a sanctuary of serenity. Any Hawaii luxury vacation must include the opportunity to soak in the beauty of the natural environment. Gorgeous and expansive scenes of canyons, craggy cliffs, exuberant ocean life, lush flora, and diverse rainforest animals. As a matter of fact, if a person is so inclined they can swim with sea turtles, take a hike through the Halawa Valley ending at the top of Mooula Falls, or soar high above Hawaii's Big island in a hot air balloon. Generally, the weather during an Hawaii luxury vacation will vary depending on the season and the island. Temperatures can reach way down to the lower 60's in winter and rarely above the low 90's in summer. Yet, because of its location so far into the Pacific Ocean away from other land, most days both the land and water temperature are maintained between 72 and 76. Take note though, Hawaii is tropical and therefore the moisture in the air is usually pretty high and rainfall varies. Most rain occurs between 3 a.m. and 8 a.m. This is great news for tourists because it is unlikely they will get caught in a rainshower. Indulgence, relaxation, a sense of well-being may be the ticket for a person on the hunt for an Hawaii luxury vacation. If in reality that is what a person desires, they will find it in the Hawaiian islands.
