The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Waikiki Beach

Perched above the heart of Waikīkī, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Waikiki Beach offers a more residential way to experience O‘ahu—where expansive ocean views, indoor-outdoor living, and thoughtful design create a sense of ease from the moment you arrive. Across two sleek towers, the 552-room property features all-ocean-view accommodations with private lanais, full kitchens or kitchenettes, and light-filled interiors that invite guests to settle in rather than simply pass through. A recent renewal refreshed the ‘Ewa Tower guest rooms with a “sky to sea” design narrative inspired by O‘ahu’s natural elements.

Dining shapes the rhythm of the day, from morning coffee and pastries at Dean & DeLuca to sunset dinners at Solera, with the intimate, multi-course omakase at Sushi Sho offering a more elevated experience. Above it all, dual infinity pools, a full-service spa, and sweeping Pacific views create a retreat that feels both connected and calm.
