Kaimana Beach Hotel
WINNER

Kaimana Beach Hotel offers a rare blend of laid-back island living and refined coastal design, set directly on one of Waikiki’s most pristine beaches. With unobstructed sunset views over the Pacific paired with the iconic silhouette of Diamond Head, the property captures the essence of Oʻahu’s natural beauty while maintaining an intimate, boutique feel. Kaimana pairs modern, airy interiors with thoughtful local touches, creating a sense of place that feels both elevated and authentic. Guests enjoy seamless access to outdoor adventure, from paddleboarding and snorkeling steps from their room to scenic hikes nearby, balanced by moments of calm along the quiet shoreline. Unique programming, from professionally-led surf lessons to curated cultural experiences, further connects guests to the island. At its heart is Hau Tree, the hotel’s celebrated oceanfront restaurant, where seasonal, locally sourced cuisine meets one of the most coveted beachfront settings in Hawaiʻi.
