Best Fitness Hotels in Hawaii

The Kahala Hotel & Resort — located about 3 miles southwest of Diamond Head on the coast of the Kahala neighborhood — has played host to a long list of ritzy clients. Even lovebirds Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton came to stay at this Honolulu landmark after their marriage. So naturally, the rooms are fairly posh, featuring private balconies with views of the ocean and or nearby mountains. While you're here, take a break from the Honolulu hustle and bustle with a massage at The Kahala Spa, or simply kick back and relax in one of the cozy lounge chairs that line the pool. The hotel also boasts a pristine stretch of white sand beach, so you won't have to worry about fighting crowds for a spot on the shore. While you're here, recent visitors highly recommend taking advantage of Dolphin Quest: The Kahala grounds feature a lagoon where guests can swim with bottlenose dolphins. Afterward, enjoy a gourmet meal at one of the hotel's multiple restaurants. The only drawback: Some guests were frustrated by the high price for parking. But, not having a resort fee makes up for most incurred costs. Keep in mind that as a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, this property participates in the Leaders Club rewards program.

Gorgeous grounds, attentive service and awesome rooms are just a few of the reasons guests are gushing about Andaz Maui at Wailea. Stretching across 15 acres, the hotel offers visitors prime access to Mokapu Beach and lots to do: You can rent paddleboards, kayaks and snorkel gear, or you can head out on an island excursion. If your muscles are sore after a day in the water, you can rejuvenate at the `?wili Spa and Salon or retreat to your spacious accommodations. Each of the Andaz Maui's guest rooms and suites is outfitted with white linens, wood furnishings and private verandas in addition to complimentary minibars and flat-screen TVs. As for dining, there are multiple restaurants on-site. Ka'ana Kitchen features farm-to-table fare, while Morimoto Maui, headed by Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto, features Western-Eastern fusion cuisine. Though there is a high resort fee here, World of Hyatt members can save some money by cashing in points for complimentary nights or earning points for future stays.

The gorgeous grounds of Honua Kai Resort & Spa occupy a good chunk of Ka'anapali Beach along the western coast of Maui – a location that previous guests just can't help but praise. As for the experience of staying here, travelers have mixed feelings. Honua Kai's suite-style accommodations come equipped with full kitchens, ample living space and balconies or terraces; however, some recent travelers say that some of the balconies' ocean vistas leave much to be desired. And while visitors were generally pleased with the resort's atmosphere, they say to look elsewhere if you're seeking a more romantic ambiance, as this property is popular among families and some partiers. It's easy to see why: Not only can the rooms house larger groups, but the resort also boasts a pool with an accompanying water park. Should you need a break from the family bustle, the Ho'ola Spa can easily serve as a place of refuge.
