Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa

Discover a family paradise with a touch of magic at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa in Ko Olina, Hawai‘i!

Walt Disney Imagineers worked hand in hand with location artisans and cultural experts to create Aulani, in 2011. Inspired by a canoe house design, the iconic arched lobby is a great visual nod to the spirited canoe tradition of Hawai‘i. “Aulani”, meaning “messenger of a chief”, is perfectly positioned on the beautiful beaches of Ko Olina on the leeward coast of O‘ahu. "Ko Olina", meaning "Place of Joy”, is part of an original royal land division. Ko Olina was once a sacred area for Hawaiian monarchs and leaders to rest and unwind. Today, the area is an inviting vacation destination for those seeking relaxation!
