The Kahala Hotel & Resort is a serene alternative to the bustle of Waikiki, an iconic resort opened in 1964 on a private beach in the exclusive residential Kahala district, just beyond Diamond Head. Long a favourite of presidents and stars, it is defined by old-Hawaii glamour, lush gardens and its beloved dolphin lagoon.
The dining is relaxed and oceanfront. The beachfront Plumeria Beach House serves fresh dishes all day under chef Joseph Almoguera; Arancino at The Kahala brings innovative Italian cuisine; and the poolside Seaside Grill and the chandelier-lit Veranda, with its craft cocktails, afternoon tea and live music, complete the offering.
For a serene, storied Honolulu stay, The Kahala is a benchmark.
