If a Hawaiian vacation is in your future, consider booking your stay at Disney’s Aulani Resort. This breathtaking resort is located on the island of Oahu and it opened its doors to guests in 2011. You will be swept away by the beautiful spirit of the island and celebrate the beauty and history of this Hawaiian island during your stay.

The Resort is positioned perfectly on the Ko Olina beaches on the leeward side of Oahu. Ko Olina actually means “place of joy” and that is what you will find during your stay at Aulani.

Upon check-in at the Resort, you will find yourself surrounded by lush, plant-filled walkways and beautiful views of the ocean and mountains tracing the island. This destination is nothing short of enticing with its first-class amenities and unparalleled commitment to its guests. Aulani features the wonders of Disney getaways – poolside visits from Disney characters, Mickey-shaped foods, and unparalleled magic – but it does not feel reminiscent of a theme park experience at all. As a guest, you can choose between a resort Hotel room, Deluxe Studio, 1 Bedroom, 2 Bedroom, or 3 Bedroom Grand Villa. These villas can sleep between 4 up to 12 adults depending on the size accommodations you choose.

Once you decide which room works best for your family, then you can be certain that you will never run out of activities to participate in at Disney’s Aulani Resort. You can swim or just chill out on the resort beach at Ko Olina Lagoon. This award-winning beach has a paved trail that follows the sand in case you want to go for a romantic stroll along the water. Or, if you want to switch things up, you can head to a pool party complete with music and dancing. If you want to go on a date night as a couple and need to entertain the kids, you can drop them off for a couple of hours at Aunty’s Beach House where they can watch Disney movies, craft, and play video games.

Additionally, you can see the sights of the island by participating in a catamaran, horseback, or guided walking tour. Or, if you’re wanting to stay active, play 18 holes at the luxurious Ko Olina Golf Club. You can even bring your kids along because kids play free after 3:00 p.m. You can even spend some time unwinding by listening to some live entertainment played by some of Hawaii’s most renowned musicians.
