Ideal for families containing at least one golf fanatic, Hualalai Resort Palm Villa 140B overlooks the 15th hole (and green) of the Hualālai resort’s Jack Nicklaus-designed championship golf course. Ready with comfy rattan chairs, its main first-floor balcony is the best place to plot lines and plan putts. The downstairs veranda, meanwhile, opens to a manicured lawn area lent privacy by hedges (plus those titular palms) – and ideal for kids with energy to burn.

Inside, you get a ‘great room’ – uniting the lounge, dining area and superb kitchen in one sprawling space – decorated in rich, gem colours with curiosity-inducing art pieces. Vaulted ceilings conspire with large picture windows for an airy atmosphere. A second, cosier TV lounge awaits downstairs. All three bedrooms are ensuite with high-quality bedding and flatscreen televisions; twin beds await youngsters.

Accessible in fun style, using two allocated golf buggies, the resort’s myriad facilities include a swimming pool just opposite, and the Hualālai Sports Club’s own 25-metre pool, gym and spa. Then there’s the Four Seasons area’s sumptuous sandy beach, kids’ club and that golf course; not to mention eight tennis courts, watersports like canoeing and paddle boarding, and restaurants ranging from Mediterranean-style to a seaside poke grill. Ask your concierge for the details of the daily resort fees. What’s more, the villa is ideally located for arrivals and departures, with the airport just a 15-minute drive away.
