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.

Great location , decor, excellent family resort.

Great · Feb 2026

Family vacation + work meeting. Hotel recently renovated, very nice decor, outdoor/indoor Hawaiian vibe, outdoor lawn and terrace. 30 min from airport on Kona coast; quiet and somewhat secluded in the Mauna Lai resort development (Auberge next door), many private homes/ condos. Very safe and clean. Rooms: clean, well decorated. Nice marvel bathrooms. Spacious. Small sofas and patios w table/chairs.…

Great visit to a lovely resort

Exceptional · Feb 2026

First visit to the Big Island but we are regular Fairmont guests. The hotel and grounds were lovely. Stayed on the Gold Floor and very happy we did. Rooms have been refurbished and, although a few points show the age of the facility it was overall well done and enjoyable. Staff were lovely, friendly and happy to help. Self parking…

Not what this hotel used to be

Great · Feb 2026

This is our third trip to the Fairmont Orchid. And the most disappointing. The location, the grounds, the water, the sunsets - beautiful. Kudos to the beach staff and housekeeping staff - they were excellent. If not for these things, the rating would have been a 3. When we pulled up to check in , the valet staff did not…

Needs Service improvement

Great · Jan 2026

The grounds were beautiful. This Fairmount lacks service. Gym was not clean; when we asked for wine glasses they never showed up. Housekeeping did not replace glasses when they cleaned. Front desk has to be the worst; One person at the desk; long line-ups. We had gold status and were never advised regarding concierge service on the 6th floor or…
