Idyllic tropical paradise and happy honeymooners are likely first thoughts of what to expect of Hawaii, so finding top romantic spots seems almost impossible. Romance is evident in the sunset strolls, moonlit dinners and views from grand heights.

Planning a romantic Oahu vacation? Check our our Lanikai vacation rentals.

Manoa Falls is one of a number of Oahu waterfalls that stands out as a place for romance. Lovers can hike through Oahu’s diverse landscapes, including rainforest and bamboo forest amidst the Ko’oaus Mountains. The waterfall punctuates the day with an incredible 150 feet of cascading waters. Swimming in the pool at the bottom is not permitted.

Vacationing on Oahu’s North Shore is a balance between the surfing culture, the Turtle Bay resort community, offbeat towns and the myriad of sightseeing spots in the area.

Ocean Sun at Tiki Moon Villas has a powerful name and this Zen respite offers unique features to provide a relaxing escape. A private outdoor shower, a deck with broad views of the sea, waterfalls, a gourmet kitchen and a lanai for hours of sitting with cocktails make this a top North Shore vacation rental pick. It’s secluded yet within excellent proximity of eateries, shopping and activities. Perfect for a couple seeking a wildly romantic vacation experience.

Some vacation rentals are homes. Lani Loa is a sweet pad that sleeps up to 30. Some of its features are reminiscent of a New England manor and the ocean’s dramatic waves are a sight from the floor-to-ceiling great room. Suites and rooms for plenty of guests make this ideal for an extended family or college pal reunion. The captivating landscape continues with the lava rock and nearby hiking trails. Snorkel, spot sea turtles or just watch from one of the small lanais, cocktail in hand, of course.
