A Destination that Inspires Discovery
The Spirit of Aloha washes over everything here. It’s the spirit of the islands, the people in our community, and the land that surrounds us. It’s what sets Hawaiʻi apart from the rest of the world. And makes our dreamlike location on the North Shore of Oʻahu a real standout. When there’s so much to explore, you have to go deeper. That’s where the fresh perspective is.
Connect with the people, culture, and adventure of the North Shore. Email our Concierge team to help you plan your stay.
