Given its appeal to honeymooners and couples on romantic getaways, the hotel caters to the long-walks-down-the-beach set with special indulgences.

One unique offering is an intimate dinner for two in one of six gazebos on the terrace overlooking the water. Couples are attended by a private butler and served champagne and a meal cooked to order. For special occasions, small parties of up to 10 guests are also welcome to celebrate together.

Couples massages are offered at the spa or right on the beach in oceanfront massage cabanas. There lovebirds can relax to the sound of waves lapping against the shore while receiving treatments together.

To carve out a bit of seclusion on the beach, reserve a private cabana during the day. These are parked right on the sand, and provide cover from the hot Hawaiian sun as well as a bit of quiet from other hotel guests enjoying the surf.
