• Waikiki
The new Ritz-Carlton Residences are just
a five-minute walk from the beach and
close to luxury boutiques and restaurants
on Kalakaua Avenue. For more than four,
pick a three-bedroom; each unit has views
of Waikiki, a fully equipped kitchen, ensuite bath and pullout sofa bed for extra
guests. theresidenceswaikiki.com
• North Shore
The villas and condos at the North Shore’s
Turtle Bay Resort have benefited from the
resort-wide renovation. Guests have access
to the resort’s pool and amenities, and for
more than four, the three- and four-bedroom
cottages and villas can accommodate up to
eight people. Each unit has a private lanai,
washer and dryer, and access to a separate
pool area. turtlebayresort.com
Kauai
• Poipu
Known as the sunny side of the island, Poipu has
many new and improved plus-four options. On
the high end of the price range is the Kukuiula,
which has an exclusive private club, spa and
pools. Koloa Landing’s Poipu Beach Hotel offers
the largest villas on the island with up to 3,600
square feet of lodging space. And Whalers Cove
Resort is a boutique 38-unit property, which
recently earned a Trip Advisor top spot nod
for the area. Each unit is privately owned, with
an on-site management that provides services
such as grocery shopping. These well-appointed
oceanfront condos include washer and dryer,
THERE’S STILL TIME to plan that family vacation in Hawaii, but be aware: when you’re travel-
ing with more than four, the usual hotel options rapidly decline. Whether you’re looking to
squeeze everyone into a condo or spread out in a luxury villa, here are jaw-droppers worthy
of any group stay.
