WHERE: Honolulu, Hawaii, USA
WHY WE WANT TO BOOK IT: To enjoy one of Waikiki’s quietest beaches. Kaimana is a small, uncrowded, locals’ beach, a prime triangle of sandy stretch that’s far from the frenzied tourist scene. It’s known as Sans Souci Beach as a nod to the hotel that once stood here.
WHO SHOULD CHECK IN: Perfect for the kids as the water is shallow and free of strong currents, the location also pleases those looking for sports and adventure. From here, it is easy to access the waters beyond the reef through Kapua Channel, which leads to Old Man’s, a popular surf site.
HOW ARE THE ROOMS? All rooms have private balconies and the interiors are fun and airy. The two signature oceanfront suites and 120 guestrooms and suites and have floor-to-ceiling windows, with views of Waikiki Beach, Kapi‘olani Park, or Diamond Head.
