10 best honeymoon resorts in Hawaii

Hawaii is an amazing place to go for a honeymoon. I compiled this list of the 10 best honeymoon resorts in Hawaii to include something for everyone. If you’re planning a Hawaii honeymoon, there are a few things you should know.

Unlike many resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean, Hawaii does not have many adult-only resorts. Hawaii is very family-friendly, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t a great place for honeymoons. This list includes two adults-only options and many resorts have adults-only areas and pools, which can be great if you’re wanting a quieter setting.

Choosing a pricier resort does not mean that there won’t be children present. Many of the high-end resorts (such as the Four Seasons or Princeville Resort) are very popular destinations for families. I know that choosing the perfect honeymoon resort can be overwhelming, so make sure to reach out! I am a Hawaii travel agent who specializes in honeymoons and I’d love to help you! You can read 10 reasons why to use a travel agent in 2019 here. Bonus if you want to skip the post, it doesn’t cost you anything to work with me.

These resorts are also great for those celebrating anniversaries or just wanting to take a quiet vacation. This list features resorts located on 5 different islands from 5-star World Class resorts to beachfront B&Bs. There is something for everyone.

10 best resorts in Maui

Who hasn’t dreamed of a Maui vacation? Maui is the second largest of the Hawaiian islands and is the second most popular tourist destination (after Oahu.) Maui is the perfect destination for honeymooners, families, and anyone who loves beautiful white sand beaches. If you’re looking for the best resorts in Maui, you’ll have plenty of options.

Maui is shaped somewhat like a lopsided figure 8. The two main resort areas are the Wailea/Makena/Kihei area in South Maui and the Ka’anapli/Lahaina area in West Maui. For this list of the best resorts in Maui, I have split it up into South Maui, West Maui, and Hana which is on the far east side of the island. You’ve probably heard of Hana because of the famous Hana Highway.
