Experience the magic of Hawaii at Disney's Aulani Resort and Spa. Located on the white-sand beaches of Oahu, the Villas of Aulani overlook the Pacific Ocean, a breathtaking lagoon, and a tropical cove that defines the term "paradise on Earth."
"Aulani" means "messenger of a chief," and it's here that you'll explore everything the Hawaiian islands have to offer.
Set back from the crowds of Waikiki but close enough to enjoy its attractions, Aulani is nestled between mountain ranges and calming ocean waves. In addition to all the world-class amenities you expect from a Disney Resort, there are island-themed activities for all to enjoy.
