Hawaii is a honeymooner’s paradise: sunset sails, jungle waterfalls, black-sand beaches, and quiet mornings with ocean views. It’s the kind of place where time slows down and every moment feels like magic.

I’m sipping fresh pineapple juice on a lanai in Maui, the Pacific stretching out endlessly before me, and my only plans for the day? Beach naps and sunset dinners for two.

We decide to start in Maui, where the Road to Hana winds us through lush rainforests and hidden beaches—every stop more romantic than the last. Then it's off to Kaua'i, the “Garden Isle,” where we hike to waterfalls, kayak the Wailua River, and share quiet moments along the Na Pali Coast. For that ultra-luxury escape, Lanai is pure serenity: private beaches, spa days, and starlit dinners under swaying palms.

"Barefoot in the sand, hearts full—Hawaii was made for honeymoons."
