Why choose this journey

To discover Hawaiʻi’s wildest and most spectacular side. Big Island combines volcanic landscapes, tropical nature, secluded beaches and wide-open spaces with some of the archipelago’s finest luxury addresses. A particularly compelling destination for a stay combining a high-end resort, discovery and adventure.

Hawaiʻi Island, commonly known as Big Island, is the largest and most spectacular of the Hawaiian Islands. Its size and the diversity of its landscapes give it an identity quite unlike the rest of the archipelago, spanning volcanic coastlines, tropical forests, high plateaus and immense lava fields.

In the heart of the island, Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park reveals one of the Pacific’s most fascinating landscapes. Kīlauea and Mauna Loa bear witness to the volcanic activity that continues to shape Big Island, while roads cross ancient lava fields all the way to black-sand beaches fringed with coconut palms.

The Kona Coast, drier and sunnier, is home to many of the resorts and is also the birthplace of the famous Kona coffee. On the east coast, Hilo reveals a more tropical side, with lush vegetation, waterfalls and exotic gardens. Further north, the landscapes of Waimea offer yet another setting, made up of pastures and vast ranch lands.

Big Island is particularly well suited to travellers seeking a Hawaiian experience centred on nature, wide-open spaces and adventure, while enjoying high-end properties on the Kohala Coast. Stargazing, snorkelling with manta rays, volcanoes, wild beaches and coffee plantations reveal an island with an exceptionally varied range of experiences.
