"Blissfully removed from Waikiki’s more chaotic neighbourhoods, Ka La’i Waikiki Beach boasts residential-style accommodations, a good restaurant and a prime location close to the best Waikiki has to offer."

In an area as popular with tourists as Waikiki, choosing a peaceful luxury hotel can feel like finding a needle in a haystack. One such needle is Ka La’i Waikiki Beach by LXR Hotels & Resorts. Set in a quieter part of the Waikiki Beach Complex that makes it feel comfortably removed from the hustle and bustle of Kalakaua Avenue, the resort’s address is nevertheless a prime one: beaches, local attractions and an abundance of dining options are within easy walking distance.

The property’s 462 rooms and suites are designed to feel pleasantly residential; many of the entry-level options feature well-equipped kitchenettes, and suites are apartment-like with gourmet kitchens and full-sized washers and dryers. Rooms – the best of which look out at the ocean rather than the city – feature floor-to-ceiling windows and Italian marble bathrooms. The interior design leans a bit towards the generic and uninspired, but the rooms are nevertheless spacious, calm and comfortably appointed.

There are just two venues for food and drink at the resort itself, though you’ll have no shortage of restaurants within easy reach of the hotel. Begin your day with breakfast at In-Yo Café, where you can enjoy sweet and savoury treats in the open-air seating area. Later in the day, visit Wai’olu Ocean Cuisine for family-style sushi and other fabulous seafood dishes – all spectacularly fresh, of course. You’ll also be able to enjoy healthy snacks and tropical cocktails poolside. When you tire of the on-site options, make a reservation at La Mer. Widely regarded as one of the best fine-dining restaurants on Oahu, this French establishment is quite literally just steps away from the resort. For something more casual (but possibly even more popular), walk a few minutes more to Tempura Kiki for the best tempura on the island.

Complimentary beach bags and towels ensure that guests are fully prepared for a day in the sand and surf at Waikiki’s famous beaches, which are especially beloved by surfers year-round. Should you prefer to stay put at the resort, you’ll be able to go for a dip in the infinity-edge lap pool and heated whirlpool. There’s also a small fitness centre that’s equipped with a handful of exercise necessities and that remains open 24 hours a day, in addition to Spa Ka L’ai, where treatments utilise traditional Hawaiian botanicals and time-honoured healing techniques.
