Aloha, Relaxation at the Fairmont Orchid
Last month, I had the chance to stay at the Fairmont Orchid on the Kohala Coast of Hawaii’s Big Island. If I could sum it up in a word, it’d be magic. This is a place where Hawaii’s aloha spirit and natural beauty just envelop you. It’s right on the ocean, surrounded by 32 lush acres, and I felt both far away and right at home from the moment I arrived.
