When you first check in to the luxurious Fairmont Orchid--on the famed Kohala Coast of Hawaii, the Big Island--you may be forgiven for thinking the resort earns it many awards and accolades solely from its outdoor spa, fine dining and tastefully furnished guest rooms.
In fact, book a room on the exclusive Fairmont Gold floor, and you may not ever want to step outside. But, venture out into The Fairmont Orchid's 32 oceanfront acres and you'll soon discover a water lover's paradise. What could be better than being at the pool? How about a cabana by the pool? Or, perhaps in a hammock--enjoying the sounds of the pacific ocean. Why not enjoy an oceanfront couple's massage? Or rent a hale and watch the pristine blue ocean all day long? If you prefer to get your feet wet, take a dip in the sheltered lagoon or try your hand at stand-up paddle boarding, or even kayaking? Of course, the real fun begins when you rent snorkel gear and go explore the abundant marine life. You may come face to face with a Humuhumu or perhaps you'll be lucky enough to take a swim with one of the dozens of resident Honu sea turtles. And, after you've taken time for a nap listening to the gently lapping waves, enjoy a perfect Kohala sunset...by the ocean, naturally.
