The Kahala Hotel & Resort

Long recognized as the hideaway of international royalty and Hollywood celebrities, The Kahala Hotel & Resort is an island resort minutes away from Waikiki, with unrivaled luxury and comfort standards. Its private lagoon is home to four bottlenose dolphins. Arriving at this beautiful resort is an experience that recalls the graceful hospitality of "old Hawaii." The inviting lobby is reminiscent of a plantation manor home - offering designer furnishings and dramatic views through the swaying palms to the ocean. Guests are given a warm aloha by the seasoned staff who deliver impeccable service.

The newly remodeled guest rooms and suites are unusually generous in proportion and now luxuriously appointed with new furnishings, custom Frette linens, Floris of London bath amenities, and 40-inch flat-screen TVs.' Kahala Chic' now means shades of tropical colors, tasteful artwork, and luxe touches with a residential feel. Mountain view rooms, many with balconies, offer lush vistas. Oceanfront rooms delight the eye with panoramic views from Diamond Head to Koko Head Crater. Suites are a statement of space and style.

The resort's Spa Suites merges philosophies and techniques worldwide, embracing Hawaiian culture and traditional therapies. Guests are pampered with personalized signature treatments in an oasis of calm. The Kahala is home to its own four bottlenose dolphins in their own private lagoon, where one can be part of an up-close and personal experience with the dolphins through the Dolphin Quest programs.

The Kahala also features three oceanfront restaurants. Hoku's, the award-winning signature restaurant, offers Oahu's most innovative dining in an oceanfront setting that is as relaxed as the islands and as elegant as the cuisine. Hoku's (meaning "star" in Hawaiian) serves dinner and Sunday brunch prepared in an open kitchen. The Kahala's Plumeria Beach House is located beach-level for spectacular viewing of sand and surf. Plumeria Beach House is renowned for its breakfast buffet, a la carte lunches, and weekend nightly buffets. The Seaside Grill features a selection of casual dishes for lunch. Tokyo serves Haute Japanese cuisine. The Veranda has views of the Dolphin Lagoon and serves afternoon tea, followed by cocktails and snacks in the evening and Wednesday curry lunches. Furthermore, The Kahala is the perfect resort wedding destination, providing breathtaking backdrops for ceremonies and receptions. It is also the perfect meeting place with its unique theme breaks and receptions.
