With pristine white-sand beaches, constant beautiful weather, a laid-back lifestyle, and close proximity to Los Angeles, there is no questioning why so many celebrities vacation in Hawaii, or even purchase second homes here! Here are eight places to spot celebrities in Hawaii - and even without the famous folks around, these scenic places in Hawaii are truly to die for. Check it out!

1) Turtle Bay Resort

Turtle Bay Resort has played host to various movie and television productions, including Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Lost, and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

2) Hana

Now, this celebrity spotting is a little more specific: Oprah purchased more than 60 acres of land near Hana, and might own a few other parcels of land on the island as well.

3) St. Regis Princeville

Kauai is known for celebrity foot traffic, and we recommend staying at a five-star resort, like the St. Regis Princeville overlooking Hanalei Bay, with rooms starting at $360 per night, if you want to spot someone. After all, Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck and Alicia Keys have all stayed at this luxury hotel.

4) Waikiki Beach

Several celebrity sightings have been confirmed near Waikiki Beach. Once, Adam Devine was photographed playing the ukulele during the filming of "Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates." Good luck spotting those celebrities amongst the hoards of tourists that flock to this popular beach, though.

5) Four Seasons Maui

Maui is another celebrity favorite, with many visitors staying at the Four Seasons, perhaps the most luxurious hotel on the island. Guests have included Pamela Anderson, Paris Hilton, and John Stamos, among others.

6) Banzai Pipeline

Musician and surfer Jack Johnson owns a home in front of Banzai Pipeline on Oahu’s north shore. All sorts of professional surfers flock to this famous spot, especially at this time of year! Have you ever spotted anyone famous here?

7) Paia

This sleepy surfing town is home to two big celebrities: Owen Wilson owns a home in town and has been spotted on various occasions riding his bike and visiting the beach. Willie Nelson is also a frequent guest of local restaurants and bars, sometimes even surprising visitors with intimate performances! This is definitely one of those small towns in Hawaii that's worth a visit, celebrities or not.

8) The Kahala Hotel + Resort

This Honolulu hotel has long been considered a getaway for celebrities, including Bill Clinton, Tiger Woods, Snoop Dogg, and Michael Jackson (pictured above). This is one of the best resorts in Hawaii for spotting celebs.

While various celebrities visit the islands, there are also many celebrities who call Hawaii home, including Ben Stiller, Drew Barrymore, Julia Roberts, Bette Midler, Lance Armstrong, Bethany Hamilton, Clint Eastwood, and Steven Tyler, among others.
