Hawaii truly is an island paradise, making it the perfect location for a honeymoon.
If you're seeking sunshine, excitement and nightlife, head to famous Waikiki Beach on the island of Oahu, where you can swim, canoe, surf, snorkel or work on a golden Hawaiian tan and then party all night.

There are many hotels to pick from, with one great choice the Waikiki Parc Hotel. Recently renovated, it offers guests a luxury retreat just steps away from the beach yet right on the doorstep of the vibrant clubs.

At this affordable boutique hotel you can breakfast while gazing out at the ocean, hit the beach then relax in the lounge with a tropical cocktail as the sun sets. And for dinner there's a great restaurant conveniently housed in the hotel, Nobu Waikiki, one of Robert De Niro's iconic Japanese eateries.

The staff at the Waikiki Parc are friendly and eager to help make your holiday even more pleasant. For details go to www.waikikiparc.com

If you can manage to drag yourself away from the attractions of Oahu, there are other Hawaiian islands to check out, including Maui, Big Island, Molokai, Kauai and Lanai.
If you only have time to visit one of these islands, opt for Maui and its stunning scenery.

The sunny west coast is lined with gorgeous white-sand beaches, while the east side has lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls and steep mountains.

Maui's windsurfing and surf spots are some of the best in the world, and it's easy to see why Oprah Winfrey has recently spent many millions buying parcels of land with great views of the stunning coastline.

Maui's North Shore is one of the best wave-sport destinations in the world, boasting the famed Pipeline surf break, but there's more to it than perfect waves.

The towns of Haiku and Paia are full of charm and character, with artists and free spirits in residence and tourist shopping that's one of a kind. Located at the base of Haleakala volcano, the area has a country feel with tremendous natural beauty.

One of the most adventurous activities on the island is the bike ride down the 3000m volcano from the summit of Haleakala's crater. There's not much pedalling to do - you simply glide down the mountain, stopping to check out the amazing views as you go.

If you have more time - and energy - you can also trek through the crater, an incredible, otherworldly experience that's a bit like walking on the moon.

There are many beautiful resorts and condominiums to stay at, including the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa.

This luxury resort is a paradise on Kaanapali Beach in the north west. You can enjoy the resort's impressive array of action-packed activities, or make it a relaxing stay by having divine treatments at the luscious Spa Moana.

And don't leave Maui without attending a traditional Hawaiian luau. The Hyatt offers its
own, the Drums of the Pacific Polynesian Spectacular, which takes you on a cultural journey of these famous islands and features delicious Hawaiian cuisine. For further information on the hotel, visit www.maui.hyatt.com
