Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa In Hawaii Is The Perfect Destination For Guests Of Every Age
No matter how old you are. Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa is the perfect destination for guests of every age to find the Hawaiian vacation of their dreams. Aulani Resort guests find themselves in beautiful and relaxing surroundings infused with the stories and surprises of Hawaii. Adventure, romance, tradition and fun are all waiting to be discovered.
Aulani overlooks a beautiful beachfront lagoon less than an hour from Waikiki on O’ahu. It was imaginatively designed to embrace time-honored Hawaiian traditions. It invites dreamers from everywhere to savor their time together. From the moment guests arrive at the resort, they are enchanted by the unique surroundings. Also, these surroundings pay tribute to the authentic arts of Hawai‘i and the melding of earth and architecture in one special place. And with Disney magic sprinkled throughout, guests also encounter a vacation paradise uniquely designed for families.
Each day of their stay, Aulani Resort guests customize their experiences – from relaxing on the beach or in the Laniwai Spa, to splashing through the pools and water play areas of the Waikolohe Valley. Guests will also be delighted to find Menehune (the legendary island little people known to accomplish marvelous feats of construction), hidden throughout the resort.
‘Ohana means family
With that special magic only Disney can provide, Aulani draws families into fun experiences that bring everyone together, from movie nights under the stars to explorations of the Menehune Adventure Trail. Families enjoy lei making, hula dancing and learning a Hawaiian sunset chant, all under the guidance of local artists and guides. At night, the beachside fire pit comes to life as storytellers speak and sing ancient tales of the islands.
The creators of Aulani knew that some guests might want to explore beyond the resort, too. Guests can book excursions to sail aboard catamarans, ride horseback, kayak through protected islets, and more. Also, most excursions are specially designed for Aulani guests and feature knowledgeable and friendly Adventure Guides.
Hotel rooms and Disney Vacation Club villas have been thoughtfully planned to cater to the needs of a family vacation, with refrigerators, flat panel televisions and wireless internet access. And for those who brought just a bit too much luggage, there’s a hiding place for suitcases under the bed.
For the grown and almost grown
Aulani has many special fun and relaxing activities for adults. Guests can start the day with beachside yoga to rejuvenate the soul. Afterwards, they can then rent a private poolside cabana offering unique amenities and world-class Disney service. Active adults and teens may prefer Aulani recreation programs, including paddle boarding in the lagoon.
Also enticing is Laniwai, a Disney Spa. For adults, Laniwai is a haven of tranquility in 18,000 square feet of space, with 15 treatment rooms, a fitness center and the 5,000-square-foot outdoor hydrotherapy garden, the only one of its kind on Oah‘u. Painted Sky is the only spa in Hawaii just for teens where they can relax and make new friends.
Guests also have the option to enjoy romantic dinners away from the little ones. They can dine in the beachside ‘AMA‘AMA restaurant or the ‘Ōlelo Room lounge. Guests will savor the local flavors with fresh fish and cuisine grown by local farmers. Couples may want to complete their day with a sunset celebration or stroll along the ocean’s edge.
Aunty knows best
Children, known as keiki in Hawai‘i, can leave their elders and their flip-flops at the door as they enter the cozy world of Aunty’s Beach House, a signature Disney kid’s club. Aunty is related by affection and her house generally is considered one of the best and safest hang-out spots. She and Uncle always have a lot of stories to share while guests learn the hula, create Hawaiian arts and crafts, play games with favorite Disney characters and enjoy a laid-back movie afternoon.
Disney designed Aunty’s Beach House for children ages 3 to 12. Aulani also offers a special tween program through Aunty’s Beach House.
When the mischievous waters call, kids and adults alike will find themselves drawn to the seven acres of the Waikolohe Valley pools and water features. They won’t be able to resist the lure of the Waikolohe Pool water slides. And also don’t forget to float down twisting Waikolohe Stream on an inner tube. The enchanting Menehune Bridge invites children of all ages to search for the mysterious little builders hidden within this delightful structure.
