About Fairmont Orchid

The Fairmont Orchid hotel is a honeymoon hideaway inspired by the spirit of Aloha. Hawaii’s Big Island is home to awe-inspiring beauty as diverse as snow and lava, with rainforests and coral reefs in between. Though you’ll be romancing on The Fairmont Orchid’s 32 lush acres, the whole Big Island of Hawaii is at your fingertips.

A selection of The Fairmont Orchid’s 540 warm, bright rooms and suites feature sweeping garden and ocean views. But regardless of which you pick, you can add their $125 Romantic Turndown service to really turn up the heat. Follow a trail of orchid petals to find a heart made of flowers atop the bed, then dive into the chilled champagne and indulge yourselves with soothing bath crystals and floating candles.

If that isn’t enough, their Spa Without Walls beckons with invigorating waterfall massage huts and massage cabanas designed to draw from natural healing power, or mana, of the island. After the spa, relax and watch the sea turtles on the beach or take off on an adventure hiking across volcanoes, paddling through reefs or roaring through the jungle on an ATV. No matter what kind of couple you are, your romance is a perfect fit at The Fairmont Orchid hotel.
