About the Hotel
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.
