The Kahala Hotel And Resort - A beachfront luxury retreat with private dolphin lagoon, award-winning dining, and spa sanctuary
Located in Kahala's exclusive residential area, this legendary Honolulu hotel combines a private white-sand beach with a natural dolphin lagoon housing Atlantic Bottlenose dolphins. Spanning 550 square feet, the elegantly appointed rooms and suites feature panoramic views of the beach, dolphin lagoon, tropical grounds, or Koolau Mountains, complemented by his-and-her bathroom vanities and walk-in closets. Five distinct dining venues include the award-winning Hoku's restaurant under Executive Chef Jonathan Mizukami, Plumeria Beach House for all-day dining, and the oceanfront Seaside Grill. The spa sanctuary encompasses nine treatment suites, each with a private relaxation area, shower, and deep-soak tub. A Keiki Club operates daily, offering activities from tide pool exploration to seashell crafting. Positioned 10 minutes from Waikiki's shopping district, the resort provides complimentary shuttle service to major retail destinations.
Pros
Historic celebrity destination hosting luminaries from Frank Sinatra to Queen Elizabeth II
Spacious 550-square-foot standard rooms with dual vanities and walk-in closets
Three acres of Thai-teak parquet flooring and Italian glass chandeliers showcase authentic luxury
Cons
20-minute drive from Honolulu International Airport
Beach area is public access, not exclusive to hotel guests
“Privacy and calm define this beachfront resort tucked away in Honolulu's Kahala district, a world apart from Waikiki's bustle. Dining overseen by a Michelin-starred chef and exceptional valet service suggest a high degree of personalized attention. The dolphin encounters and cultural classes also make this property a compelling option for families.”
