WHERE TO STAY

Waikiki is where the action is, high rise hotels and condos, endless restaurant and shopping options and amazing beaches all within walking distance. In the last few years, Waikiki has moved from quintessential Hawaiian holiday town to a major city on the beach. It is possible to still relax and feel the Hawaiian vibe, it just takes a little planning and the right choice of accommodation.

If you are looking for a budget, no frills option, you should consider an independent condo not affiliated with a hotel chain. There are lots of them in Waikiki from luxury through to budget and with varying locations and amenities. We would suggest booking through an agent such as Ali'i Beach Rentals so that you are protected from fraud and you can be assured of some level of cleanliness and service.

VIVE HOTEL

HOTEL  //  BUDGET FRIENDLY

Located off Waikiki beach this small hotel is a great choice for those travelers who will be out exploring for more of their stay. Comfy rooms and added in room amenities make up for the fact that this hotel doesn't have a pool.

GREAT FOR COUPLES

HOKULANI BY HGV

SERVICED CONDO  //  ​COUPLES FAVOURITE
​$$$

Located right in the middle of Waikiki, The Hokulani is our favorite for couples. All rooms are 1 bedroom condos and it has a sophisticated rooftop pool and bar area with free cabanas (with fridges and TV!). While children are welcome to stay, its lack of large pool area means it is often much quieter than its neighbors making it perfect for honeymooners and couples looking for lux relaxation.

OUTRIGGER WAIKIKI REEF

HOTEL  //  CENTRAL LOCATION
​$$$ - $$$$

Hotel accommodation right on the beach but located a few minutes walk to the main shopping and eating precinct means that this resort is slightly cheaper than its beachfront sister hotel, the Outrigger Waikiki Beach.

ALOHILANI

 HOTEL  //  BRAND NEW
​$$$

One of the newest hotels in Waikiki, the Alohilani is located just across the road from Waikiki beach, right near the famous Duke Kahanamoku statue. A new modern design is refreshing in Waikiki but the hotel still manages to capture the Hawaiian culture. Beautiful well quipped rooms and a relaxing pool deck make this hotel one to look at.

LUXURY

OUTRIGGER WAIKIKI BEACH

HOTEL  //  RIGHT ON THE BEACH
​$$$$

This one is well and truly in the centre of Waikiki, you couldn't get more central if you tried. Its right on the beach, close to every restaurant, bar and shop Waikiki has to offer and has views to die for. The Outrigger Waikiki beach is family friendly but also has an adult vibe with Hawaiian flair. Rooms are hotel style with some suites, it is priced in the higher bracket because of its location but its a good choice it if you want beachfront.

HALEKULANI

 HOTEL  //  5 STAR LUXURY
​$$$$$

Absolute 5 star luxury right on the beach, the Halekulani isn't cheap but it is amazing. One of the original hotels in Waikiki, the Halekulani has stuck around for a reason. Almost all rooms have ocean views, there is a beautiful and relaxing spa and the restaurants have some of the best food in Waikiki and  sunset cocktails on the lawn is a must do. This is a great choice as a splurge for a Honeymoon or special occasion.
