Top neighborhoods in Kailua

Kalama Tract

Kalama Tract gives you authentic Hawaiian living without the tourist hustle.

Lush tropical gardens and swaying palms line the quiet streets, creating a perfect base for beach days, kayaking adventures, or exploring the nearby Kawainui Marsh.

Learn more about Kailua

Turquoise waters lap against Kailua Beach's powdery white sand, creating a postcard scene that locals somehow take for granted. Kayak to the twin Mokulua Islands offshore, where turtles bask on rocks with the nonchalance of sunbathers. The Lanikai Pillbox Trail rewards a moderate climb with panoramic views that explain why Obama chose this neighborhood for his winter retreats. Kawainui Marsh offers a different kind of beauty, with ancient fishponds that gave the town its name ('two seas' in Hawaiian). After swimming, the shave ice stands along Kailua Road provide rainbow-colored relief from the tropical sun. For a less-crowded experience than Waikiki, Kalama Beach Park offers the same perfect waters without the tourist crush.

Ala Moana Hotel by Mantra

10/10 Excellent

"Central to all activities and wonderful experience "

Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort

6/10 Okay

"It was a cold (for Hawaii) weekend, and the hot tubs were 'under maintenance' so we couldn't use them to heat up between dips in the pool / lagoon. The staff were helpful overall but seemed very stressed and short on patience, with the exception of a few who were great. Parking is expensive (something like $60 a day?) and your food options are expensive if doing anything within the hotel, so I'd recommend walking or driving somewhere else. Our room had no hot water for showers (luke warm at best) which, again, for a cold weekend was not ideal. We had a room of 4 but were only given 3 bath towels, had to ask for a 4th (that should be standard for a room for 4, attention to details). There's no room clock, no microwave, but there is a mini fridge (which wobbled every time we opened it, nearly tipping over). Each day the trash cans were overflowing due to the amount of people (also why the workers were probably stressed). The traffic getting in and out was pretty tough too. Overall for how much we paid for our stay (thousands) I expected a more relaxing vibe and treatment, but it felt like I was in a budget hotel with almost no amenities or benefits besides being beach-front with pool access. "
