Kapalua Golf, The Best Golf Courses in Maui
Situated within a working pineapple plantation, Kapalua Resort is a 22,000-acre resort community nestled between the West Maui Mountains and the shores of the Pacific Ocean on the island of Maui. Renowned for its two championship golf courses, Kapalua Resort is easily accessible through daily inter-island flights.

Award Winning Golf Courses

Residents and visitors alike can take advantage of the superb facilities offered at the two Kapalua public golf courses. The newly renovated Bay Course offers one of the most dramatic holes in golf with the shot requiring a hit over the ocean. With ocean views and an outlook of the neighboring island from 16 of the 18 holes, the title of “Hawaii’s Favorite Resort Course” is well deserved.

The slightly larger Plantation Course has ocean and island views from every hole, and one of the most famous finishing holes on the PGA Tour. Both courses have received an abundance of awards and accolades, giving them the status of the best in Hawaii, as well as being rated among the best of all modern courses. Plantation Course is known as the best public course in all of Hawaii. For golf lovers this is a “can’t miss” course.

Vintage Plaza Hotel in Portland

As one of the most innovative cities in the Pacific Northwest, Portland is alive with plenty of energy and enthusiasm. The Rose City is the perfect location for the Vintage Plaza Hotel, situated in the heart of downtown. The Vintage Plaza is an award-winning property known for its boutique atmosphere and rich history.

The downtown location of the hotel puts it right in the heart of the action. Guests are within walking distance of the Pearl District, Pioneer Courthouse Square, and many other important city locations. Yet it is still close enough to enjoy both the Oregon wine country and Tualatin Mountains on day trips.

The interior of the Vintage Plaza has been designed with a focus on contemporary styling. Yet the rich history of the property has not been forgotten. The two are combined in an elegant format that is both warm and inviting throughout. From the moment you walk in you’ll notice the intimate, yet contemporary lobby and lounge areas.

Trump Chicago

When the Trump Hotel Chicago opened in 2008, the goal was to create a landmark in Chicago; a landmark noted as much for its luxury as for its profile against the Chicago sky. Donald Trump and the Trump Hotel Collection have succeeded.

Rooms include dual king or queen beds with Italian Bellino linens, custom furnishings, writing desk, and a spacious seating area. Guests also enjoy a limestone finished bathroom complete with stone topped vanities, deep soaking tub, and separate shower with waterfall shower head.

The Weekender Bag from Everlane
For those short trips, you need a bag with enough space, but one that is not bulky and cumbersome. We suspect you also want a bag that combines durability with class and style. After testing it out for a few weekend trips we’ve determined the Weekender from Everlane may just be what you’re looking for.

This all-canvas bag is beautifully designed and includes leather zipper pulls, beautiful leather accents, and a unique two-strap leather handle that works equally well over shoulder or carried in the hands. The waterproof lining gives you extra protection on those rainy days.

The bag comes in 9 flavors (colors), and is affordably priced at $95. (Our favorite colors are the reverse denim and the grey with navy blue strip).

The Michelin restaurant package includes airfare, accommodations and dining in 12 different countries. Over the six-month trip, guests will be visiting more than 100 world-class restaurants at a rate of one every other day.

The car rental industry has remained largely unchanged for decades. However, if you are willing to try something new, there’s a better way to rent a car thanks to a company named Silvercar. The name comes from the fact that the company rents only one type of luxury vehicle: a silver Audi A4. Not only that, the process is insanely simple.

Here’s how it works:

  • Download an app to your smart phone
  • Set up your profile, make your reservation
  • When you arrive at the airport walk directly to the lot, scan the QR code, and drive away
  • Upon departure, park your car in the lot and go directly to the airport terminal

With Silvercar, there are no counters, no attendants, and no hassle. It is the simplest and easiest way to rent a car. Currently Silver car services Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Houston. We’re hoping for more cities soon.

Four Seasons Maui Wailea 14

On the southern coast of Maui sits one of the most loved resort areas in all of Hawaii. The site is known for the best vacations spots in the region, including the Four Seasons Maui at Wailea. Since 1990 the Four Seasons Maui at Wailea has won the AAA Five Diamond Award, every single year, and it is the first and only Maui resort to be rated as a Forbes Five-Star property.

The hotel boasts 380 guest rooms including a selection of suites at various levels. Best of all, eighty-five percent of the rooms include stunning ocean views. And at 600 square feet, the hotel’s standard guest rooms offer the most space of any hotel in Hawaii. Guests enjoy amenities including 24-hour room service, twice-daily maid service, overnight shoe service, free wireless internet, and so much more.

Serenity Pool

One of the many things that set the Four Seasons Maui apart is their selection of three incredible swimming pools. The resort’s signature pool is known as the Serenity Pool. The 2,650 square foot pool sits on the southern end of the property and features gorgeous views of Lana’i and the West Maui Mountain. This peaceful infinity pool combines the beauty of nature with the elegance of minimalist design features. The Serenity Pool has 60-poolside lounge chairs available, so it’s important to get to the pool earlier in the morning (or else you risk getting on a list for the next available spot). The experience at this pool is like none other. In addition to the stunning views and beautiful pool, it’s the small things that the staff does that set it apart. During the visit guests were treated to chilled towels, Evian water spritz, Otter Pops popsicles, as well as what felt like water service every 30 minutes to ensure guests were fully hydrated. Some other features of the pool include: an underwater music system, freestanding and swim-up bars, four bubble loungers, poolside massages (for a fee), and six 160-square foot luxury cabanas (for a fee).
