But "luxurious" means many things to many people. We can steer you away from the kid-magnets resorts. Determine when you want to travel (as that may impact your island choice) and for how many nights. Get a feel for what the various islands have to offer. Pick up of copy of Hawaii for Dummies (forgive the title) and a good map. You need to acquaint yourself with the various islands - then make your choice. All of the major islands have developed and undeveloped areas. To answer your question - there is no such thing. Please re-post on the generic State of Hawaii forum for more "global" responses.

The Island of Hawaii is the forum you have posted on, and it is big, thus there are lots of open spaces and it doesn't feel crowded or touristy to us.
