Holiday Festivities

Deck the palms with sunshine and holiday cheer! We’re pleased to offer a variety of activities the whole ‘ohana (family) can enjoy this holiday season. Feel merry and full of delicious food from our chef-inspired festive favorites at our restaurants: Brown’s Beach House, Binchotan: Bar & Grill, and Orchid Court. Toast to ʻohana in Luana Lounge or watch the sun slip into Pauoa Bay at Kahakai Bar. Embrace the Hawaiian culture with a paddling in an outrigger canoe, learn to dance hula and make kukui nut jewelry. If all you want for Christmas is relaxation, we’ve got you covered at our Spa Without Walls. Scroll down to see what else we have in store for you!
