Live your Hawaiian dreams
Where to stay, when to go, what to see, and how to make the most of your GHA DISCOVERY membership benefits, rewards and offers in Hawaii, the mid-Pacific’s classic island paradise.
Pack your bags for sun, surf and luxury
When most people think of Hawaii, images of pristine beaches, coconut palms and sand-marooned loungers come to mind. But this is only the beginning. With eight diverse islands—four of which primarily welcome visitors—Hawaii is a treasure among eco-luxury travel destinations. From rich indigenous cultures, to volcanic landscapes, to unforgettable flavours, prepare to be surprised in America’s only tropical state.
For the classic Hawaii experience, start your journey on Oahu, where the diverse capital Honolulu awaits, with famous Waikiki Beach. Pay respects at the USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor, hike a volcano at Diamond Head State Park, or enjoy shopping and nightlife. Moving to the “Big Island” of Hawaii, tour and taste your way through lush Kona coffee plantations, traverse lava flows in Volcano National Park, or enjoy the vistas via helicopter.
Yearning for more tropical grandeur in off-the-beaten-path destinations? Kauai, nicknamed the Garden Isle, offers memory-makers like hiking at majestic Wailua Falls, or tubing in an old sugarcane irrigation ditch. If the ocean is among your unique destinations, stop on Maui for diving, swimming and snorkelling. Not to mention a trip to Haleakala National Park, home of a crater that looks more like Mars than Earth.
The best time to visit Hawaii is April to June and September to October, when the weather is more pleasant and crowds lower. As a member of GHA DISCOVERY's loyalty programme, enjoy exclusive access to gourmet dining, rejuvenating spas, and top-notch golf courses, as well as rewarding benefits across hotels, resorts and vacation homes (thanks to Plum Guide). Grab your favourite suitcase or travel backpack. Here’s a glimpse of a few of GHA DISCOVERY’s member-favourites.
