It’s easy to forget to take a much-needed vacation. LeAnn Rimes — multi-platinum singer, ASCAP award-winning songwriter and HGV Brand Ambassador — knows this better than anyone. However, LeAnn understands the importance of vacations.
Whether you need a reminder to vacation somewhere incredible or are looking for inspiration for an upcoming trip, here are three reasons to travel to the Big Island of Hawaii for a much-needed getaway.
1. See The Sights (And Sets)
If you’ve ever wanted to travel to a destination you saw on TV, you’re likely a set-jetter, a new term coined to describe TV tourists. The screen can inspire travelers to explore destinations from Great Britain to New Zealand. Hawaii is no exception. Take in the lush scenery that is the backdrop to shows from “The White Lotus” to “Lost.”
Explore the outdoors at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, which has hosted episodes of “The Amazing Race” and “Hawaii Five-O,” or Akaka Falls State Park, which looks straight out of the movie “Avatar.”
2. Taste Delicious Food
Adventure like a foodie on the Big Island for a trip your taste buds won’t forget. Explore Hawaii’s culinary scene with a walking food tour, or visit a salt farm to see how salt is harvested. Try a coffee roasting class and take home some Kona coffee as a souvenir.

3. Focus On Wellness
Vacations focused on well-being and self-care aren’t going away any time soon, according to a travel trends report from American Express Travel®. However you prefer to relax, the Big Island is full of ways to recharge. Try a yoga class on the beach to practice mindfulness and calm your mind. Or visit Kohala Spa at Hilton Waikoloa Village for an array of treatments, from massages to volcanic pumice scrubs, all designed to help you feel your best.
Be sure to plan plenty of downtime and rest in between your Hawaiian adventures. Stay at one of Hilton Grand Vacations’ four Big Island resorts for spacious Suites, tranquil pools and everything you need to de-stress. Your Big Island adventure awaits.
