Kapolei, named after one of the volcanic cones on the island, sits on the hugely popular west side of Oahu, the third largest of the Hawaiian archipelago with its crystal clear south Pacific waters and rainforests.

Known as the second city of Oahu after Honolulu (although its not actually a city), Kapolei offers an unforgettable vacation and is the perfect destination for a family holiday, an escape with friends, or a romantic getaway.

This hot spot is also home to some gorgeous beachfront property especially around Ko Olina Beach & Marina, where you can rent a villa or apartment with breathtaking views of the Pacific.

Nightlife

As the sun disappears into the Pacific, Kapolei offers a more relaxed nighlife when compared to Honolulu. There are many restaurants around the marina serving local and international dishes but after midnight, the nightlife winds down.

One of the best watering holes is the large open air bar called Off The Hook set by the pool in the chic Aulani Resort where hotel guests and non-residents can relax to the sound of the waves.

Seeing one of the traditional Hawaiian shows at one of the luxury resort hotels is a great night out where you can see local dancing and fire

Beaches

Kapolei is home to the beautiful white sandy beach of Ko Olina that ranks amongst the best in Oahu. The sea is shallow, gentle on this part of the island with practically no waves and teeming with tropical fish and turtkes - perfect for swimming, snorkeling, an outrigger canoe and scuba diving.

Other local beaches include those around the 4 lagoons such as Ko’olina Lagoon 2 plus....

• Nimitz Beach
• Kahe Point
• White Plains Beach
• Electric Beach
• Paradise Cove

Kapolei Vacation Rentals

Like most places in Oahu, the accommodation options in and around Kapolei cater for all budgets and tastes with the premier area being at the Ko Olina Beach & Marina resort.

Experience the very best of Kapolei by staying in a vacation rental at the resort where there is championship golf, spa and wellness facilities and all the amenities you could wish for.

Wake up in your spacious Kapolei villa or condo to breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and mountains, before heading off to the uncrowded world class beaches to relax, top up your tan or do some watersports.

After a day on the beach or sight seeing, the ideal way to end the day is to return to your own villa rental, light up the BBQ, watch the sun go down over the Pacific and dine under the stars and then experience the vibrant Kapolei nightlife.
