Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa, Waikiki Beach
Known as the ‘First Lady of Waikiki’, Moana Surfrider combines Victorian elegance with contemporary comfort. Tastefully appointed rooms and suites are spread across three wings, with many offering breathtaking ocean views. Waikiki Beach is right on the doorstep, just beyond the sizeable outdoor pool, though the star of the show is the Moana Lani Spa, one of the best on Oahu, complete with relaxation lounges, saunas, steam rooms and two wonderful couple’s suites with private hot tubs and panoramic views. The fitness centre offers daily morning yoga, while on-the-water options include surfing and paddleboarding. Dining choices range from afternoon tea on the elegant veranda to oceanfront dining at the island-inspired Beachhouse.
