AAA Five Diamond Resort
Kahala, Oahu
Located on a secluded beach with views of both Diamond Head and Koko Head craters, the AAA Five Diamond Kahala Mandarin Oriental,
Hawaii is located just 10 minutes from Waikiki. Home to Atlantic
bottlenose dolphins and the award-winning Spa Suites, the 364-room luxury resort features six
distinctive restaurants and lounges, a Keiki Club for children, private beach cabanas and a variety of sea sports activities
Opened in 1964 and frequented by Hollywood's elite (Frank Sinatra, Tom Cruise, Michelle Pfeiffer), entertainment notables (Faith Hill, Luciano Pavarotti, Billy Joel), every US president from Nixon to Clinton, and royalty (Queen Elizabeth, Princess Grace, the Dalai Lama), this resort attracts the rich and famous and the discriminating and sophisticated. Ordinary families cavort next to the glitterati.
Responding to celebrity requests, the resort built five 550-square-foot spa suites (one for couples)
where guests (for a fee) receive various massages and body treatments in an utterly tranquil, private setting, beginning with a foot-bathing ritual. Consistent awards prove this resort is among the world’s best .
The resort’s elaborate pool complex includes a large ocean-view pool lined with blue Italian-glass tiles, a big spa, and a children's wading pool—all surrounded by a sundeck furnished with thickly padded lounge chairs and fronted by a sunning lawn graced by coconut
trees. For a modest fee, guests (kids, too) can swim and interact with the resort’s most loved residents, the Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. Emphasizing education, Dolphin Quest scientist/trainers run the program in the 26,000-square-foot salt-water lagoon. Location:
On the beach just beyond Diamond Head, 10 minutes from Waikiki; approximately 20 minutes from Honolulu
