Spring in Hawai‘i: New Stays, Bold Flavors & Cultural Experiences

This spring, Hawai‘i is inviting travelers to go deeper with the unveiling of immersive cultural programs, transformed spaces, and new amenities, alongside a dining scene earning national recognition.

Kaua‘i  
Invite clients to Hilton Garden Inn Kauai Wailua Bay to experience the new oceanfront Wailua Nui Lū‘au, which includes a traditional imu (underground oven) ceremony, interactive hana no‘eau (skilled arts), and unlimited island-favorite cuisine. The ʻau happens on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. For a coastal adventure, Kauai Sea Tours introduces its new 65-foot luxury catamaran, Lady Kailani, offering Nāpali Coast excursions with 360-degree views of Kaua‘i’s cliffs, ocean, and marine life. Incorporate this experience into itineraries as a premium ocean activity, with snorkeling, onboard dining, and relaxed sightseeing.

O‘ahu  
Encourage travelers to step into history and music at the Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort and Spa, marking its 125th anniversary this year with enhancements to its Tower Wing, historic lobby, Vintage 1901 wine bar, and Banyan Wing.  Recommend an evening at the live music series, “Moana Calls,” which honors the courtyard’s legacy of the “Hawaii Calls” radio broadcast from 1935 to 1975. In West O‘ahu, at Ko Olina Resort’s Kaula Lū‘au clients can enjoy a new cultural performance with mo‘olelo (stories), hula (dance), oli (chant), and mele (music), created and led by Native Hawaiian artists at the resort’s new Ocean’s Edge venue.

Maui 
Royal Lahaina Resort and Bungalows kicked off January 2026 with “Kuraya,” an oceanfront magic show series led by Maui-born magician David Kuraya. And beyond the show, there is plenty more for guests to explore with refreshed Beach House Bungalows and the newly opened Spa at Royal Lahaina. Wailea Beach Resort has also transformed its property with all-new Oceanfront Villas, Private Chef Villa Dining, and an adults-only pool, Olakino. Recommend personalized moments with a Constellation Concierge for guided stargazing, a Social Butler for wedding content capture, and curated celebration and wellness packages.  

Hawai‘i Island 
Invite clients and their dogs to Kona Village, A Rosewood Resort for a new retreat with BARK Air. Guests can rest at ease with private charter flights from Los Angeles, support for pet-entry requirements, and four nights in an oceanfront hale (house). Programming includes a lū‘au, sensory walks, and sunset yoga. For a refreshed stay, recommend Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort and Spa which has completed a full renovation of its 297 guestrooms, featuring a new design inspired by Hawai‘i Island’s landscapes and cultural heritage.
