in june 1959, the hawaiian islands joined the union, bringing the total of states to an auspicious even fifty. on the eastern coast of maui, the ‘heart of hawai‘i’ known as hāna is the site of a top luxury resort dating back even further, a “fantasy island” isolated and carefree and celebrating the big “hawai‘i five - 0” anniversary of statehood with an alluring package of five, fave fives:
with a minimum stay of five nights in june, july and august 2009, guests of the hotel hāna-maui will receive:
- luxury accommodations in an ocean view sea ranch cottage for $500 per night with a 5 night minimum
- $50 credit at the award-winning honua spa
- $50 credit at the boutique of hotel hāna-maui
- $50 credit in the acclaimed ka‘uiki dining room or bar/lounge area
- $50 credit for an island activity such as horseback riding, whale watching, or kayaking
[$50 savings are limited to one credit per couple with a 5 night reservation only. all accommodations are based on double occupancy, taxes and gratuity are excluded.]
once the province of hawaiian royalty, then a land of sugar plantations, and subsequently, a grand cattle ranch, this isolated gem at the end of the winding hana highway reflects its hawaiian heritage in its relaxed luxury accommodations and carefully preserved natural environment. explore the pristine shoreline on horseback. hike the nearby rainforests. learn to make traditional hawaiian lei from the abundance of blossoms on the resort’s extensive grounds. or do nothing but enjoy the spectacular view of hana bay; no radios or televisions will disturb your tranquility. the honua spa, located on the hotel grounds, capitalizes on hana’s innate qualities of peace and tropical ease, and magnifies them with treatments based on the gifts of the earth and sea for health, balance, and well-being. hana-maui’s fine dining restaurant, ka’uiki, which features ingredients nearly 90% sourced from the island’s great bounty, was honored with its first four diamond award in 2009. the legendary hotel hana-maui captures the true heart of this tropical paradise.
