About Waikīkī
Waikīkī is more than a destination. It is a feeling. A breeze that carries the scent of plumeria. The sound of waves folding softly over golden sand. The gentle glow of sunset silhouettes against iconic Lēʻahi (Diamond Head) as the sky warms into pink, coral, and lavender.
Long before Waikīkī became known around the world, these shores were the favored retreat of Hawaiian royalty. The aliʻi came here to surf rolling waves, paddle outrigger canoes, and enjoy restorative breezes along the calm shoreline. The name Waikīkī means "spouting waters", a reflection of the freshwater springs that once flowed to the sea and nourished taro fields, fishponds, and thriving coastal communities.
