Hawaii resorts offer luxury and adventure packages
All of the Big Island's resorts come in pairs and are found on the west coast between Kawaihae on the north and Keauhou on the south. Each of the resorts in this corridor is on or near a beach and is designed with vast, airy lobbies that frame panoramas of tropical landscaping, exotic pools or waterfalls and, of course, the ocean. Their grounds are lush. Their public spaces serve as art galleries, displaying museum-quality paintings, sculpture and historic artifacts. They all offer non-motorized water sports and can arrange adventuresome day trips. Golf courses are next door if not on the property; most have tennis courts, a spa or both. At each, the standard guest rooms are oversized, elegantly comfortable and vary in décor only by degree: They're all furnished with warm woods against a palette of contemporary neutrals; accents come in earthy tropical tones. Although none of these properties is especially new, they go beyond providing luxury and relaxation; they inspire a sense of privilege and of having arrived.

Night diving among the manta rays on the Big Island of Hawaii
One big step off the boat and into the dark. When I hit the water, I feel all the familiar feelings, the ocean seeping into my wetsuit, the frantic bubbles on my face, the ineffable moment when the body's gyroscope switches over from gravity to buoyancy. But nothing else is familiar. I'm floating free in the blue-black ocean, a few hundred yards from Kona's volcanic bluffs. The water is about 40 feet deep here, but just a few hundred yards to the west the Big Island's seamount plunges into the miles-deep oceanic abyss.
