TAKE OFF FOR THE PERFECT HONEYMOON

Halekulani: Metropolitan Hawaii

Residing on Wakiki Beach — “Hawaii’s Famous Playground” — Halekulani has a century of guest-pampering under its belt, experience its uses to the fullest. The highly decorated resort (check their website for an extensive list of awards) melds with the rapidly growing cityscape to present a memorably exciting experience. Unbounded shopping, a hospitable populace, vibrant nightlife; Halekulani is an excellent excursion for people persons.

Couples in need of a quiet vacation after a hectic wedding need not dismay, however; prodigious city life is only one side of Halekulani’s offerings. Enjoy the beaches, hike the mountains, explore the jungles. Or perhaps the Wakiki Aquarium would be more to your liking? The history-minded can pay a visit to the only restored palace in the United States, Iolana Palace, but be sure to save time for perhaps the most important location of World War II, Pearl Harbor. Museums, theatres, golf — any number of relaxing pursuits awaits the easygoing traveler.

Get up and go or sit down and stay — the action of the city combined with the refuge of the resort makes Halekulani a honeymoon anyone can enjoy.
