A DELIGHT (Post-8)

Envisage ....

Cosy in bed drapped in satin covers.

An hours of jacuzzi with rose petals all over,Wine in a champagne flute glass and a panorama of sea.

Spa with aroma candles around and an ayurvedic effleurage.

Sun bathing at the beach side or lazing on a hammock in the backyard seccedding the sea.

Haute cuisine for a candle light dinner dolled up in a dining dress.

Pilfered!! Realism is where you experience it....

How about 15 days retirement at Hawaiian Beaches...

Spellbinding.... Isn' it...

Lets Go Hawaii . . .



that beautiful land... the climate, one long delicious summer day, and the good that die experience no change, for they but fall asleep in one heaven and wake up in another."
Twain's depictions of Hawaii are as true today as they were in 1889.

A visit to Hawaii will leave an indelible impression on your memory.

And just like Twain himself, don't be surprised if you find yourself longing to return.

A gentle trade wind wakes you.
You wiggle your toes in the soft, golden sand
The rhythmic surf ebbs and flows against the shore as you nod off once again.


Welcome to a typical day in Hawaii.
Sunbathe on Big Beach in Maui.
Drift down Kauai’s Wailua River in a kayak.
Stroll through Halawa Valley in Molokai.

Play thirty-six holes unlike any other on Lanai.
Let a slack-
key guitar soothe your spirit in Waikiki.
Lounge at a cafĂ© on Hawaii’s Big Island as you nurse a freshly roasted cup of Kona coffee.
No matter how you choose to unwind, the Islands of Aloha are the perfect haven in which to refresh, relax, and rejuvenate.





as well as the ingredients for the healing indulgences of Hawaii. Wash away your cares with Thalasso ocean water therapy.
Give in to the soothing powers of a seaweed body wrap. Unwind with a warm lava-rock massage or a Hawaiian lomilomi massage.
Treatments on every island renew your sense of well-being and of being well.

If the spa treatments sound irresistible, wait until you try the food. Fresh ingredients and exotic seasonings from across the Pacific Rim meet with European counterparts to forge the culinary delights of Hawaiian Regional Cuisine.
Snapper with Thai basil. Wasabi aioli. Lemon grass sorbet.
From fine dining to the casual comfort food of the local-style "plate lunch," the food throughout each island tantalizes the senses and nourishes the soul.





Deep blue waters become playgrounds for surfers, swimmers, scuba divers, and kayakers off the coasts of Oahu and Maui.
Vast stretches of countryside become arenas for horseback riders and ATVs on Lanai and the Big Island.
Lush mountains on Kauai and Molokai become a maze of hiking trails and bike paths, begging to be solved.

Hawaii is a different kind of paradise for the thrill-seeker.
Here you'll find everything under the sun to get your heart pounding.
After a long trip to Hawaii, take pride in knowing your tan wasn't just the result of sitting by the hotel pool.







it's the warmth you feel from the moment you step off the plane. It's the friendliness, hospitality, and generosity you'll discover from everyone you encounter, from the hotel concierge to the people on the street. It's the love the people of Hawaii have for their home, their heritage, and each other.






Perhaps it was the ancient Polynesians who first arrived on the Islands who brought this sense of Aloha. Perhaps Aloha is a result of Hawaii's spectacular environment nurtured by a melting pot of cultures and ethnicities. Perhaps more than any of its incomparable natural wonders and diversions, the Aloha Spirit is what truly makes Hawaii unique. We invite you to visit Hawaii to discover what Aloha means to you.



Share a breathtaking sunrise atop Haleakala Crater in Maui.

Tandem kayak along the tranquil Hanalei River in Kauai.

Boat along the towering cliffs of Molokai’s North Shore.

Toast the sunset in a catamaran off Lanai. Stargaze atop Mauna Kea on the Big Island.

Dine and dance deep into the night on Oahu.

When the day is done, sip champagne on your balcony while relaxing to the rhythmic ebb and flow of the ocean.

Tomorrow there are beaches to explore. Sunsets to chase. Pleasant surprises to stumble upon.

You’ll see why the special moments of your trip to Hawaii become even more enduring when they’re shared together.
