Indulge in Diverse Wonders at Fairmont Orchid
From the Orchid you can go from sun worshipping on the beach to star gazing on a snow-clad mountain. From fishing Hawaiian-style to watching turtles on the beach.
Beneath your feet, the sand is jet black. Basking beside you is a green sea turtle. You’re on Punaluu Black Sand Beach, close to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, just a couple of hours from the Fairmont Orchid on Big Island. Along the road is another geological oddity – a beach with fine green sand, actually powdered lava known as olivate.
But weirdly coloured sand isn’t the only surprise in store if stay at the Fairmont Orchid on your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Hawaii. You can also experience floating yoga, or learn how to make a lei. You can fish from traditional canoes and visit petroglyph fields. You can go scuba diving or snorkelling, hike to see ancient caves and work your way through a choice of six fine restaurants.

The destinations were fabulous, but what really stood out was the care and patience Tania showed as she guided me and my sister through every question and hesitation. Nothing felt rushed or too much trouble. The result? A truly wonderful holiday. Thank you.
