Winter Blues? Your Quick Hawaiian Recharge Awaits – Four Luxury Weekend Getaway Ideas

If you're reading this from anywhere on the West Coast (or really anywhere dealing with winter's shorter days and cooler temps), you might be feeling that familiar pull toward sunshine, ocean air, and a quick reset. February can bring crisp mornings and the occasional chill, but on Hawaii's Big Island, it's reliably warm—average highs in the low 80s, dry sunny skies, and that perfect tropical breeze that melts stress away.

That's why I've crafted these quick long-weekend getaway ideas at our private luxury estates in the exclusive Hualalai Resort. Fly in Thursday morning, immerse yourself in island life, and head home refreshed by Sunday evening—no major time-zone drama, just pure rejuvenation and memories.

Here are four tailored packages designed for different groups, all centered on a Thursday-to-Sunday stay in one of our oceanfront or golf-view estates. Everything revolves around your private home base, with seamless transfers, priority access, and that effortless high-end touch.

Girls' Wellness Escape

Perfect for a group of girlfriends, sisters, or moms craving bonding, pampering, and self-care without the crowds of a big resort spa.

• Thursday Morning: Start with private mobile IV therapy and a gourmet, fresh, healthy breakfast delivered to a shady, peaceful spot nearby—beautiful blankets, leis for fun photos, and that warm Hawaiian welcome.

• Mid-Morning to Afternoon: Private car service to Kona Village, A Rosewood Resort, for full-day access to the award-winning Asaya Spa. Set into dramatic lava fields with views of Hualalai volcano, it offers open-air treatment rooms, hot/cold plunges, steam/sauna, a saltwater pool, and ocean-inspired therapies like pohaku lava stone massages or sea sponge treatments with local ingredients.

• Lunch: At Moana Restaurant—Pacific Rim-to-table with fresh seafood, salads, and sustainable dishes, beachfront views, and a relaxed vibe.

• Afternoon: Return to Hualalai for a group tennis lesson on the resort courts, followed by coffee and downtime at the casual Trading Company café.

• Evening: A fun, wellness-focused private chef cooking lesson at the estate (healthy Hawaiian-fusion: fresh poke, tropical salads, nutrient-rich dishes), then a gentle sunset yoga session on the lanai.

  
  

This one is all about feeling renewed—body, mind, and connections.

Golfer's Paradise

For golf lovers (friends, couples, or families with enthusiasts) who want premium play paired with smart recovery and island unwind.

• Thursday Early Morning: Protein-packed breakfast delivered to the estate—eggs, local fruits, fresh juices, smoothies to get you fueled.

• Morning to Afternoon: Full 18 holes on the Hualalai Golf Course, a Jack Nicklaus Signature design consistently ranked among Hawaii's finest. Fairways weave through black lava with stunning ocean views—challenging yet playable, pristine, and with resort guest priority tee times.

• Lunch: Casual upscale at the on-course Golf Hale clubhouse, ideal for refueling with those epic vistas.

• Mid-Afternoon: A quick 30-minute private chair massage in a secluded setup for post-round recovery.

• Late Afternoon: Black car service to Kona Brewing Company for a relaxed tour and beer tasting.

• Evening: Back for a private chef-prepared dinner and sunset views from the hot tub.

• 
  

Great for those who love the game but want the full Hawaiian recharge without overdoing it.

Cultural Immersion Journey

For anyone seeking meaningful, relaxed exploration—gentle pacing, scenic drives, and enriching stories without strenuous activity.

• Thursday Arrival: Fly into Hilo (ITO) mid-morning/early afternoon for the east-side start—black car service pickup.

• Midday: Lunch at a fresh, island-inspired spot en route.

• Afternoon: Scenic drive up the Hamakua Coast with narrated insights from your driver/guide—historic sugar plantations, rainforest ecology, Polynesian history. Stop at the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden: easy paved paths, benches, thousands of rare tropical plants, waterfalls, and breathtaking Onomea Bay views (senior-friendly, minimal elevation, 1-2 hours self-guided or guided).

• Late Afternoon/Evening: Arrive at the estate to a waiting private chef-prepared Hawaiian-inspired comfort meal, followed by a private hula performance at sunset—local performers sharing gentle, storytelling-focused dances.

  
  

A peaceful, enriching way to connect with the island's soul.

Young Family Adventure Day

For energetic families wanting ocean fun, bonding, and low-stress activities with kid-approved excitement and safe water play.

• Thursday Morning: Playful family breakfast delivered—tropical fruit bowls, mini pancakes with local toppings, yogurt parfaits, fresh juices.

• Mid-Morning: Chartered family-friendly snorkel tour from Kawaihae Harbor—gear, guides, calm bays with turtles and fish, perfect for all ages.

• Lunch: Casual burgers/tacos and a refreshing shave ice treat nearby.

• Afternoon: Short golf cart ride to the beach near Kukio—easy access, calm waters for stand-up paddleboarding, lounging, or light snorkeling; rent gear on-site and keep the pace relaxed.

• Evening: Private chef dinner at the estate (kid-pleasing Hawaiian fusion: grilled favorites, salads, fruit skewers), followed by a sunset hula performance with gentle dances and stories. End with a magical late-night pool swim—lit up with colorful lights and tiki torches.
