Oceanfront dining under Hawaiian skies where guests gather, celebrate and connect over the most tantalizing flavors Hawaiʻi has to offer. Offering laidback beach classics by the water, opportunities to swim up to a fresh-catch dinner on the sand, or sitting down to a decadent paʻina (feast) in relaxed oceanfront elegance or take a culinary journey through Asian culture. Sharing incredible meals is just as much a part of the island experience as our big blue skies, picturesque beaches, pristine coastline and warm island hospitality.

Hale Kai features made-to-order local favorites served from our island-style thatched-roof huts. Our lively oceanside restaurant and beach bar invites guests to kick off their flip-flops and share casual fare with family and friends over craft cocktails. Lunch under grass umbrellas or at loungers by the swimming pool. The menu covers all the favorites: nachos, avocado toast, fish tacos and our signature lobster fried rice.

Brown’s Beach House is Fairmont Orchid’s signature AAA Four Diamond fine dining restaurant well known for incomparable Hawaii Regional Cuisine and a spectacular oceanfront setting. Our innovative cuisine draws from simple pure flavors of locally grown produce and a diverse variety of fresh seafood.
