Hawaii Beach Vacations
Waikiki Beach has many family-friendly vacation resorts as well as a choice of vacation activities that range from surfing and swimming to museums and shopping.
The Outrigger Waikiki has a wider beach than many hotels that surround it because the hotel tower is situated a bit further back from the ocean. The rooms at the hotel were recently renovated and the hotel lobby exhibits a collection historic Hawaiian artifacts.
The Sheraton Waikiki is a large hotel located right on the beach. The hotel beach, open to vacationers during the low tide, is close to restaurants and cafes in the area. If you are interested in shopping while on vacation, there are numerous shops a short walk away. For a view of the ocean, ask for one of the rooms facing out to sea. City view rooms, however, are usually cheaper.
Hilton Hawaiian Village offers a program for kids, 20 restaurants and many beach vacation activities.
Families looking for a more secluded beach vacation on Oahu can head to the island's north shore and stay at Turtle Bay Resort. The resort has guest accommodations just steps from the beach. Kids can participate in the Keiki Turtle Club which offers beach vacation activities such as swimming, reef walks, pole fishing and night sand crab hunts.
Romantic Getaways
Ocean view rooms at Halekulani on Waikiki Beach are popular with honeymooners because of their large lanais. The hotel, known for its attentive service, has a spa and an elegant oceanfront restaurant.
For a more secluded romantic beach vacation, book a room at the Kahala Hotel & Resort, ten minutes from Waikiki Beach. The resort has a relaxing beach and a unique lagoon with dolphins incorporated into the hotel design.
Beach Vacations with Spas
Indigenous treatments at Spa Luana nicely complement the natural setting of Turtle Bay Resort on the secluded north shore of Oahu. The spa offers private yoga lessons with ocean views.
The Waikiki Beach Marriott has a new spa which utilizes only fresh Hawaiian fruits and plants for therapeutic spa treatments.
