HAWAII

Waikiki Beach is the most popular sandy stretch in Honolulu and an epicenter of Hawaiian tourism. Lined by sky-high hotels and swaying palm trees, it’s a quintessential Hawaiian destination. The beach is usually the first port of call for most visitors to the archipelago.

The gorgeous 2-mile stretch of white sand extends from the Sheraton to Honolulu Zoo. Its turquoise water affords gentle breaks for beginners throughout the year – learning to surf is a must-do in Waikiki. All this comes framed by the majestic backdrop of the Diamond Head volcano, which looms over the horizon. 

Straddling the beach is Kalakaua, Honolulu’s most energetic avenue. Everything a vacationer could need lies within walking distance of Waikiki Beach, while most of Honolulu’s top attractions are just a quick ride away.

Waikiki Beach is, without doubt, Hawaii’s premier accommodations hotspot. Its popularity stems mostly from its world-class hotels, while budget-friendly options are a few blocks back on Kūhiō Avenue.

Retail options abound near the beach, from chic boutiques to in-vogue designer stores. Shop at Luxury Row on Kalakaua Avenue for top-tier brands – think Gucci, Chanel, and Hugo Boss – or hit the Royal Hawaiian Center to browse its 150 stores. The open-air arcades of Waikiki Beach Walk are another sought-after retail mecca.

Scores of restaurants, bars, and cafes line the sand. You won’t find the best deals in Honolulu here, but the gorgeous views make beachfront dining worth the splurge, especially at sunset. Check out Hula Broil Waikiki for their famous fish tacos, then saunter down to the Beach Bar to sip Mai Tai cocktails with your toes in the sand.

Our Suite at the Club Wyndham At Waikiki Beach Walk is right in the middle of it all. See below for more information.
