AULANI, A DISNEY RESORT AND SPA

Aulani, a Disney resort and spa, is a state-of-the-art property that combines the magic of Disney with the beauty and history of Hawaii.

Located on Ko Olina, on the leeward side of the island of O’ahu, the beachfront resort features more than 455 guest rooms, including 16 suites.

A unique mix of aquatic amenities is set in what’s known as Waikolohe Valley. These include Waikolohe Stream, a lazy river with an “extreme” course; Waikolohe Pool, an 8,200-square-foot, zero-entry leisure pool that includes a tunnel body slide; Rainbow Reef, a private snorkeling lagoon; Menehune Bridge, an interactive children’s area; four whirlpool spas; Wailana Pool, designed for adults; and the Makai Preserve conservation pool.

High-tech features at Aulani include Menehune Adventure Trail, an interactive game for children and families based on Hawaiian legends; and the use of energy-saving variable frequency drives.
