Honolulu, Hawaii

Honolulu, Hawaii is possibly one of the best and romantic places to visit when looking for the right getaway. It is the largest city in Hawaii and is home to some of the most beautiful beaches. The setting of every part of the island - which is nestled on the Pacific Ocean and backed up by the amazing Ko’olau mountains.

Downtown Honolulu, centered around a group of administrative buildings that date from the final days of the Hawaiian monarchy, nestles at the foot of the extinct Punchbowl volcano, now a military cemetery. The distinct district of Waikiki is about three miles east of downtown, conspicuous not only for its towering hotels but also for the furrowed brow of another extinct volcano, Diamond Head.

The sun-and-fun appeal of Waikiki may wear off after a few days, but it can still make an excellent base for a longer stay on Oahu. Downtown Honolulu is easily accessible, and holds top-quality museums like the Bishop Museum and the Academy of Arts as well as offering some superb rainforest hikes, especially in Makiki and Manoa valleys, just a mile or so up from the city center.
