This week, Smart Meetings heads to the Hawaiian Islands of Maui and Kaui to visit four spectacular Starwood hotels that bring the Aloha spirit to meeting groups and executive retreats. On the island of Maui, The Westin Maui Resort & Spa on Ka’anapali Beach presents an array of meeting facilities amid an 87,000 sq. ft. aquatic playground for groups to indulge in. Down the shore, The Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa is nestled on 23 lush acres of tropical gardens, and makes an ideal setting for company retreats and intimate business meetings. Smart Meetings will also explore Maui by air, land and sea; sailing along the coast, riding high above during a helicopter tour and visiting organic farms near the steep slopes of Haleakala Crater.
On the smaller island of Kauai, we’ll tour Sheraton Kaui Resort, which is housed in eight buildings no taller than a mature coconut tree. The rest of the week includes a tour of Mana Waiapuna and Waimea Canyon—two natural wonders in the Garden Island’s famed tropical rainforest. Smart Meetings will also visit St. Regis Princeville, the hotel brand’s first resort in Hawaii. The luxury property is located in the 9,000-acre resort community of Princeville at Hanalei. From May 9-14, stay tuned for island hotspots, one-of-a-kind offsites and amazing Hawaiian sunsets by following @smartmtgsmeena on Twitter.
