Let’s be honest for a minute: even in a state as relaxed and happy as Hawaii, life can get pretty hectic. Even though we hang out at some of the prettiest destinations in the world as often as we can, sometimes, you just need to get away from it all — especially if you live in Honolulu or have a stressful job. What better way to truly relax than with a visit to a retreat that is as remote as it is relaxing? Nestled on Hawaii Island’s picturesque Kohala Coast is this eco-boutique hotel and wellness spa where you will feel a million miles away from it all.
Welcome to Hawaii Island Retreat, a luxury boutique hotel and wellness spa that is as elegant as it is tranquil.
