The Ritz-Carlton O'ahu, Turtle Bay Earns LEED Gold Certification

The Ritz-Carlton O'ahu, Turtle Bay earned LEED Gold certification in 2026, awarded under the U.S. Green Building Council's Operations and Maintenance rating system. The recognition reflects sustainability efforts integrated into the resort's daily operations and its commitment to the surrounding North Shore community.

The newest Ritz-Carlton in the Hawaiian Islands, the resort occupies a dramatic stretch of Oahu's North Shore, reached via the scenic Kamehameha Highway. Popular with families and couples seeking a remote-feeling escape on an easily accessible island, it sits on a legendary site that has served as a filming location for decades.

The North Shore is famed for its surf breaks, sea turtles, and laid-back character, a world apart from Waikiki, and the resort embraces that setting. Its LEED Gold status underscores a commitment to preserving the environment that makes it special.
