Orchid Hawaii Resort

Why It's Good:

Say Aloha to your elegant room in this luxury resort complete with tennis courts and a golf course, where you'll spot rare birds, native grasses, and grazing elk. There is so much to do on the property—paddle an outrigger canoe, sail aboard a Hawaiian double-hulled sailing canoe, participate in a cultural hike, learn to weave a coconut leaf basket from the Beachboys—you'll be tempted to forget about exploring the rest of the island.

Why It's Green:

Fairmont is using wind-powered front desk check-in computers and it's starting to implement ways to streamline its energy performance and reduce its utilities consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in its operations. The housekeepers use only non-toxic cleaners—good for them, good for you. Oh, and good for the planet, too.
