Our beachfront island resort sits on Oahu’s wild and rugged coast, where vast ocean views and lively pools and lagoons provide the setting for an unforgettable adventure. Take a ride on an outrigger canoe, splash around in the turquoise waters of our white-sand beach, play a round of golf as you weave through waterfalls at Ko Olina Golf Club, or spend the day reconnecting with your inner self at Naupaka Spa & Wellness Centre. Whatever the perfect vacation looks like to you, we’ve got it here – mai ka la hiki a ka la kau (“from sunrise to sunset”) and long into the star-filled night.

Oahu
The Heart of Hawaii
Sometimes called “The Gathering Place,” Oahu certainly lives up to its name. The third largest Hawaiian island is home to the majority of Hawaii’s diverse population, a fusion of East and West cultures rooted in the values and traditions of the Native Hawaiian people. It’s this fundamental contrast between the ancient and the modern that makes discovering Oahu — from bustling city life to laidback surf towns — so enjoyable. You’ll find plenty of different options for exploring Oahu’s different regions, the island’s many activities, its eclectic restaurants and accommodations.
Oahu Weather
Oahu is generally drier on the Leeward Coast (west) and wetter and greener on the Windward Coast (east). The resort area of Waikiki and the surfing mecca of the North Shore offer pleasant weather year round. Big wave surf season on the North Shore begins in November and ends in February. World-class surfing competitions also happen here between November and December. During the summer, the big waves of the North Shore subside for ideal beach going conditions.
- During our February/March visit daytime temps should average in the 80’s and cool down to the 65-70 range at night. The average surface water temperature in Honolulu is essentially constant during February/March, remaining around 75°F throughout.
Hawaiian Words to Know
Aloha means hello, goodbye and love. You will generally hear it used as a greeting.
Ohana means family. You might hear of restaurant meals served ohana-style, which would mean family-style.
Keiki means child or children. You might see keiki menus or events and activities for keiki.
E komo mai means welcome.
Hale means house or home. (Haleakala means house of the sun.)
Mahalo means thank you. While you can always say thank you, it’s nicer if you say mahalo instead. It’s pronounced “mah hah lo.”
Kane means man, male. Restrooms may be labeled kane instead of men.
Wahine means lady, female. Restrooms may be labeled wahine instead of women.
As for how to pronounce these Hawaiian words and phrases, most consonants are pronounced exactly like we say them in English. The only exception is that w is traditionally pronounced as a v-sound, though most Hawaii residents pronounce a w with the w-sound. Learning the Hawaiian vowel sounds can be a bit more tricky. Here’s our very basic guide to Hawaiian vowel pronunciation.
• a sounds like ah as in aloha
• e sounds like ay or eh as in say
• i sounds like ee as in bee
• o sounds like oh as in open
• u sounds like oo as in boo.
