The posh area of our
Kahala vacation rentals give guests the seclusion they seek while on vacation without losing the conveniences of nearby shopping, dining, and sightseeing. The beaches present opportunities for quiet solitude, morning walks, and moonlight strolls. Also consider our 10
Kahala luxury rentals.
Things to Do
Our
Kahala beach rentals provide peaceful serenity and nearby Diamond Head is the landmark that seems to separate it from the tourist chaos. The resort area beaches are secluded so guests enjoy leisurely walks and taking pictures. Swimming, canoeing, and surfing are better at Waikiki Beach and it’s a great way to spend the day, picnicking and sunning here too. Hanauma Bay, perfectly situated between dormant volcanic craters, is the place to go for diving, snorkeling, and swimming.
Fun for families, both the Honolulu Zoo and Waikiki Aquarium are within five miles of Kahala.
Diamond Head (Leahi) is the world-famous diamond crater most often associated with Oahu, a must-see.
The Diamond Head Trail is paved and the hike includes steps, a tunnel (bring a flashlight), and takes approximately 90 minutes. The site is a state monument and National Natural Landmark with military history and spectacular views at the peak.
Our
Kahala rentals provide plenty of nearby sightseeing, as much or as little as one desires.
Eat and Shop
Kahala Mall Center and Ala Moana Center are both dining and shopping meccas, with everything from comfort food to fine restaurants and more shopping than imaginable, plus a movie theater. Whole Foods is located in the Kahala Mall Center, which makes it simple for guests to pick up items for a relaxing evening in or just to grab some essentials for a picnic at the beach. Both shopping centers offer upscale shops alongside specialty stores.
Getting Around
Renting a car is easiest for travelers that want to stay on their own schedules, but alternatives include the Waikiki Trolley and bus transportation.
