Inspired by aloha, the Fairmont Orchid is a luxury Hawaii island resort and spa that redefines rest and relaxation. Overlooking the Pauoa Bay, this expansive oasis sits right on the beach and covers a lush 32-acres. Feel the warm ocean breeze in your reserved lounge chair on the beach, or kick back in your daybed poolside. Either way, you’re sure to feel at ease.
