Launched in 1972, with Bob Hope headlining the opening party, this resort remains a north shore staple and A-lister magnet. Its three blocks have been carefully positioned, almost fan-like, to ensure all of the over 400 rooms offer unhindered views of Turtle Bay. Preservation of Hawaiian land and culture is at the heart of this hotel, which has its own foundation to protect the pristine coastline. Keep a keen eye as guests are often fortunate enough to spot monk seals, humpback whales and of course, turtles.

This resort has an eighth-floor infinity pool which is the highest in Waikiki, elevated above the green treetops of Fort DeRussy Beach Park. If you’ve got kids in tow, take them to the dedicated family pool with a rock slide, loungers and private cabanas, while the adult pool offers a more calm and less splash alternative. Whatever your age, be sure to attend the daily low tide ritual; held by the family pool at 2pm. The ceremony includes a refreshing local treat for all guests, such as ube (purple yam) ice cream or sweet guava sorbet.

Waterfalls and stomach-churning hairpins are what make the 64mi (103km) journey to Hana as renowned a road trip as it is challenging. This northern coast resort is located on the famed route and provides the perfect respite following a lengthy drive. Some of its 75 rooms are deliberately devoid of clocks and televisions, though you’ll be thankful not all tech is eschewed when you discover the mini-fridge stocked with welcome refreshments. You’ll also get your own robes to lounge in – especially handy if you’ve booked the oceanfront bungalow with a private hot tub.
