Destination guide

Welcome to the "Heavenly Sea"

Fringed by white sand and swaying palms, Lanikai is an exclusive enclave on the windward coast of Oahu. In Hawaiian the name translates to "Heavenly Sea", a nod to its jewel-colored water. While it spans just half a mile, the pristine stretch of sand is consistently ranked among the best on the planet. Scores of privately owned mansions line the beach, with emerald-green lawns that stretch right down to the sand. Lanikai vacation rentals unlock access to a handful of these coveted properties, complete with million-dollar views.

Things to do

Beach hopping on Oahu

Kailua Beach Park is a 5-minute drive up the coast, and is known for its dramatic volcanic headlandsÊand turquoise water. The long sandy beach is ideal for swimming, beachcombing or enjoying a fiery sunset. For a glimpse at Oahu's rich local ecosystem, don't miss a day trip to Kawai Nui Marsh. It's an important habitat for endangered water birds, including Hawaiian stilt, coots,ÊgallinulesÊandÊducks. Meanwhile, perched at the top of Kaiwa Ridge are a pair of World War 2 military bunkers _ a fascinating find for history buffs. If you feel like stretching your legs, the epic Pillbox Trail rewards hikers with panoramic views over Lanikai Beach.

Lanikai is also close to a few patches of coral reef that are ideal for snorkeling. For a lively street scene head to Kailua, where you'll find laid-back poke bars, organic juice cafes and breezy microbreweries. On Sundays the Kailua Town Farmers' Market is a great place to stock up on local island produce.
