There’s no doubting ‘Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach's tropical island setting: a two-storey, 280,000-gallon oceanarium is the star attraction of the open-air lobby, brimming with reef fish, fed twice daily by a scuba diver. The aquatic theme continues on the fifth floor, home to one of Waikiki’s most Instagrammable pools, complete with a bar, teak loungers and private cabanas looking over the beach below. As the sun sets, space is transformed with lanterns and live music, setting the scene for handcrafted cocktails and beautiful bites from Swell Restaurant. For something a little more refined, head to Morimoto Asia or Momosan, the resort’s restaurants led by world-famous ‘Iron Chef’ Masaharu Morimoto.
Families will find plenty to enjoy among ‘Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach's facilities – a shallow paddling pool and twice-daily ‘tank talks’ by the oceanarium are designed to make this Waikiki escape completely stress-free.
