Fodor's Expert Review South Point Banyan Tree House

Hwy. 11 at Pinao St., Waiohinu, Hawaii, 96742, USA

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

Ideal for romance, this charming little tree cottage is built into a Chinese banyan tree: the partially transparent roof is the world's greatest skylight, letting in lots of light and offering views of the beautiful tree canopy above or the full moon. A wraparound deck with a hot tub provides one of the best places on the island to watch the sunset. It's close to Green Sands Beach and Punaluu Black Sand Beach, and 38 miles from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
