Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa

Discover a family paradise with a touch of magic at Aulani! There’s something for everyone to enjoy at this award-winning Disney Resort & Spa in Ko Olina, Hawai‘i, and so much is included with your stay!

Walt Disney Imagineers worked hand in hand with local artisans and cultural experts to create a resort that authentically represented the Hawaiian culture. Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa is inspired by the natural wonders and rich traditions of Hawai‘i. Aulani Resort is the ultimate family getaway—celebrating the beauty, history and welcoming spirit of the island. Families can engage in the local culture through activities like hula lessons, crafts, traditional Starlit Hui and fireside storytelling. “Aulani” means “messenger of a chief.” Here, you’ll discover the legends of the Hawaiian islands as you enjoy a relaxing family vacation.


Fun for Every Member of the Family

Aulani has been designed with families in mind. In addition to all of the fun and activities for families to do together, the resort provides a complimentary kid’s club and many age-specific activities for children. At the same time, they also give the adults exclusive spaces to enjoy themselves, too!

Aunty’s Beach House is the complimentary children’s club for ages 3-12. Once registered, children can play all day and enjoy crafts, games and fun with friends in a secured programming environment. Click for more information and pictures.
