Huelo Point Lookout

Top choice in The Road to Hana


Hidden well off the Hana Hwy, these four cottages, all linked by covered walkways, occupy an extremely private 2-acre complex with a verdant, park-like setting. A perennial honeymoon favorite, the well-stocked cottages have hot tubs and share a lovely pool; the Lookout House, in particular, has gorgeous coastal and Haleakalā volcano views. The thick mattresses are heavenly.

The layout can be unconventional, but you won't mind. A three-night minimum stay and cancellation fees (see website) apply. Ask about discounts for weekly stays.
