The Big Island Awaits You . . .

During your stay with us in Paradise, make time to enjoy the wonders of Hawaii's Big Island.  From Mauna Kea's winter snow-capped mountaintop to the sizzling Kilauea Volcano of Madame Pele's flowing lava to tropical rainforests and a teeming undersea world, the Big Island has much to offer the spirited traveler.  Warm your soul with friends, family and new memories yet to be made.

NEW!  Stargazing every Friday night on the Pool Deck, learn from local astronomer Wayne Fukunaga and his Star Gaze Hawaii team use Celestron 11 telescopes, powerful lasers accompanied by commentary and star lore to discover how the Polynesians found their way across the vast Pacific Ocean. Learn more on Recreation link, select "More Activities" option. 

Experience our renovated guestrooms, public corridors and our newest evening offering the elegant Luana Lounge. With all new decor, tasteful menu, Hawaiian entertainment (don't miss the entrancing hula dancer at sunset) and artwork on display exclusively by Big Island artists.  Be dazzled by the new Lobby, completely updated to make your arrival experience elegant and relaxing.  Discover the fresh new approach to island comfort at The Fairmont Orchid, Hawaii.

Luxuriate on our 32-acre resort with a sugar-white sandy lagoon and aquamarine waters, a year-round childrens' program, five restaurants and three lounges and the exclusive Fairmont Gold Floor for guests who prefer more personalized service and intimate surroundings.

If it's blissful escape you seek, indulge at our authentic Hawaiian outdoor Spa Without Walls with both waterfall massage hale (huts) and breathtaking oceanfront massage cabanas that draw from our island's natural healing mana (power).

Beachside, be sure and meet the native Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles that bask on our shoreline every afternoon. Or discover island-style fun and culture as you paddle an outrigger canoe, hike through the largest petroglyph field in the Pacific, learn to weave a coconut leaf basket and more guided by our Orchid Beachboys. 

For fine dining from casual to elegant, our culinary team draws from abundant local seafood and agricultural produce to create delectable Big Island Cuisine. 

We hope you find The Fairmont Orchid to be your sanctuary in Paradise.

Mahalo (thank you) and Aloha!
