5-star beachfront resort in Honolulu's prestigious Kahala neighborhood

Accommodations & Views

The Kahala Hotel and Resort is the only beachfront property in the exclusive Kahala neighborhood, a distinction shared by no other hotel on the island. Each room features a 40-inch flat-screen TV and an iPod docking station; many also offer a large bathroom with a deep-soaking tub and a separate shower. The hotel's Dolphin Wing rooms provide direct views of the lagoon where resident dolphins swim, a layout found nowhere else in Honolulu.

Dining Experiences

Dining is overseen by Michelin-starred chef Jonathan Mizukami, with five on-site restaurants including the award-winning Hoku's and the open-air Plumeria Beach House. The Veranda offers live music alongside afternoon tea and cocktails, while Arancino serves Italian cuisine. Evening entertainment and themed dinner nights are scheduled regularly at the resort.

Spa & Wellness

The Kahala Spa contains nine private treatment suites and offers extensive wellness programs such as yoga classes, fitness classes with a personal trainer, and spa/wellness packages. Full body massages, facial treatments, and body scrubs and wraps are available, all delivered in a setting that includes a spa lounge and relaxation area. Guests also have free access to a state-of-the-art fitness centre, saunas, and a steam room.

Recreation & Activities

The resort has two outdoor pools-one saltwater pool with oceanfront views and a heated pool with a shallow end-plus a hot tub and sun loungers along the beach. Complimentary bicycles are available for exploring the Kahala neighborhood, and the hotel provides snorkelling equipment, canoeing, and tennis equipment on site. Weekly cultural classes such as hula and lei-making are offered to guests.

Family & Pet-Friendly Services

Children have access to a kids' club, a kids' pool, and a kid-friendly buffet, plus babysitting and child services are available upon request.
