Aulani is a dreamy tropical paradise. You’ll never want to leave.
Let’s make your Hawaiian dream vacation easy.

Disney luxury along a stunning Hawaiian coastline.
Picture sinking your toes into warm Hawaiian sand. Take the kids — or someone you love — and splash through lava-rock grottos. Float the lazy river with a shaved ice in hand. Savor island flavors at sunset, and let your worries fade away in the on-site spa’s peace and quiet. As the sun sets into the coastline, you’ll rest your head in a room that looks, feels, and smells like a Hawaiian breeze — clean-lined, calm, and perfect for slow mornings. This is why everyone loves Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa!
ROOM TYPES | The numerous types of rooms include Standard Rooms; 1-Bedroom Suites; Signature 1-Bedroom Suites; Signature 2-Bedroom Suites; Deluxe Studios; 1-, 2-, and 3-Bedroom Villas (including Grand Villa options). Views categories include Standard View, Island Gardens View, Poolside Gardens View, Partial Ocean View, and Ocean View. Check pricing & availability ▸
DINING | You won’t want to miss Makahiki – The Bounty of the Islands for its famous Disney character breakfast, where Mickey & pals sport their best Hawaiian outfits! The prix-fixe dinner features mouthwatering cuisine that blends native island recipes with vacation comfort food classics. Savor ‘AMA‘AMA – Contemporary Island Cooking when you want a polished, oceanside meal. Pop into Ulu Cafe for easy pool-day meals and grab-and-go snacks. Toast to a memorable evening at The ‘Ōlelo Room with tropical cocktails and live music.
RECREATION | Disney’s built an entire Waikolohe Valley: swim the main pools, drift Waikolohe Stream (a wonderfully lazy river), and mix in water slides when the mood hits. Snap the perfect selfie in the Ka Maka Grotto infinity pool, or spend some quiet relaxation at the adults-only Wailana Pool or Kula Wai Hydrotherapy Garden. Guests of all ages love trying out some snorkeling at Rainbow Reef, and little island explorers love seeing the way that Disney blends authentic Hawaiian storytelling with splash-down fun in the Keiki Cove + Menehune Bridge.
ENTERTAINMENT | We can’t recommend the highly esteemed Ka Wa‘a – A Lū‘au highly enough! It blends Hawaiian storytelling, music, dance, with a bountiful celebratory dinner. It makes for the kind of festive evening that your loved ones will never forget. Throughout your visit, Mickey, Lilo, Stitch, and ‘Olu Mel — an adorable turtle from the Duffy & Friends crew — invite you to aloha-style meet & greets with Aulani’s one-of-a-kind island setting.
LOCATION | Aulani sits in Ko Olina on Oʻahu’s leeward coast—about 20 miles from Honolulu’s airport (HNL). You’re roughly 27 miles (about 36 minutes) from Waikīkī Beach by car, and countless other scenic spots are within a short drive, along with the historic WWII memorial at Pearl Harbor. We can easily add a rental car to your booking, giving you the added freedom to see Oahu from its most spectacular vantage points.
