Depends what you are looking for. If it's beach I would go with Hawaii. Italy is alot more sightseeing. You can go up the cost to Capri, etc. but it isn't really going to be beachy.

I agree. It depends how much time you can take off and if you want to do more sightseeing or relaxing. I really wanted to go to Italy, but thought for the HM I'd rather relax with FH. We picked Hawaii and going to two islands and staying 11 nights. Can't wait!

It really depends on what you want. If you want great beaches, I would say Hawaii. But remember, Hawaii can have a lot of sightseeing also if that is what you want to do.

There are amazing beaches in italy as well! Ive been to hawaii three times and its very beautiful there dont get me wrong but ive also been to italy and id choose italy over hawaii any day! There is much culture, so much to see and do, great little resturants, its just an experiance.
ETA this info for you:
Best Beaches In Italy:
Terracina, 1.5 hours SW of Rome, on the way to Naples. One of the best beaches on Italy's mainland, Terracina's is very long, wide and offers plenty of comfortable sand that is pay-parasol free, yet is within easy reach of cold drinks or simple meals from beach cafés. The town itself is quiet and pleasant but not immediately adjacent to the sea so wheels or at least 20 minute's walk will be necessary to get wet. See Terracina Beach Picture
Lampedusa island This small island is more African than European. It has clear sea and superb shores, and it offers some of the best swimming and skin-diving in the Mediterranean. Most of hotels are within a short walk of the beaches ; there are campsites as well. It's essential to book ahead in July-Aug. Getting there: by ferry from Port Empedocle, or by air from Palermo. In summer time you can fly directly from Milan. Best May-Sept, but avoid July-Aug if possible.
La Costa Verde, Sardinia island [Tyrrhenian Sea] Sardinia is quite wild and less developed than many islands, and has a lovely coastline. One of the prettiest stretches in the Meditterranean is the Costa Smeralda, the island's best-known resort area with 5 star development. If you want to get away from the crowds, La Costa Verde is a superb beach area. Also Santa Teresa di Gallura [a daily ferry service goes there from Palau] has stunning coves and beaches. Best May-June, & Sept. OK July-Aug , though hot and crowded.
Abruzzo [Adriatic Sea] Fine sand, clear water and classic Italian hospitality in Silvi Marina, with lots of after-beach sightseeing in Abruzzo's mountains and medieval villages.
