Welcome to Paradise. Whether you’ve just stepped off the plane to embark on your new life as a resident of the Aloha State, or are Hawai‘i-born and have never left the Islands, you have one thing in common: You are living in Hawai‘i — a paradise, like no other.

Living in Paradise: Hawai‘i’s Hidden Treasures takes malihini (newcomers) and kama‘aina (local-born residents) on a journey of discovery of life in the 50th State.

Whether it’s a primer on the pidgin dialect, the inside scoop on finding your dream home, tips on the hottest new restaurants or a list of the top five places to take out-of-town guests (and yourself) — it’s all here. You’ll also find out what Island residents consider to be the ‘Best of the Best’ when it comes to businesses, organizations and individuals as we give you a rundown of this year’s winners.

So sit back, relax and let Living in Paradise be your key to unlocking the essence of life in Hawai‘i and discovering our Islands’ hidden treasures.
