Fun for the Whole ʻOhana

Escape to an enchanting family paradise rooted in Hawaiian culture and Disney magic.

Hawai‘i has so much to offer — beautiful beaches, rich culture, and unmatched outdoor adventure are all top draws. It’s the ideal family destination, as several generations can gather and create memories together. Now, also imagine Hawai‘i with a sprinkle of pixie dust. That touch of magic awaits guests at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa in Ko Olina, Hawai‘i, on the great island of Oahu, just a 30-minute drive from Honolulu Airport. Enjoy a resort experience curated by Disney, including family activities and entertainment, world-renowned Disney service, and magical moments with your favorite Disney characters. Disney-style fun in the Hawaiian sun includes Mickey, Minnie, Moana, and Stitch.

The beauty of natural Hawai‘i is enough to draw guests all on its own. The lush green mountains, natural waterfalls, and clear, warm waters lapping white-sand beaches are the stuff which dreams are made. Aulani captures that beauty with its Disney signature care and service, making it accessible and enjoyable for all.

Bringing the family, grandparents, too? The Hawaiian-inspired design of Aulani’s accommodations finds a fit for every family need. From single hotel rooms to suites and villas, the range of choices is vetted and vast. Spacious villas are designed specifically to accommodate larger groups; the comforts of home include a kitchen, washer, dryer, living room, and private bedrooms — plus a spectacular beachfront resort just outside your door.

Aulani Resort spans 21 acres along the island’s leeward coast, perfectly positioned on the beautiful Ko Olina Lagoon. Swim and go boogie-boarding, snorkel in the private Rainbow Reef Lagoon, or take out paddleboards and other equipment for an ocean adventure. You can also just relax, soaking up the sun and savoring gentle ocean breezes, or spend time at the resort’s water activity areas — Keiki Cove, Wailana Pool, and Ka Maka Grotto.

Yet what makes Hawai‘i more than a beach destination is its history and culture. Join Uncle, a master storyteller, as he shares Hawaiian legends and lore alongside the glow of the fire pit that families can enjoy together. Or experience the enchanting storytelling journey at KA WA‘A – A Luau –this traditional evening performance tells the story of Hawai‘i’s native people, starting with its deep cultural roots in canoe (waʻa) exploration, which brought the first ancient explorers to the shores of Ko Olina. Guests savor delicious food, watch local dancers, and listen to the music of this special land.
