Waikiki | Signature Beach Escape | Pool, Dining & Sunset Walks

Set along Honolulu's famous Waikiki coastline, The Grand Islander, a Hilton Grand Vacations Club rises 38 stories above the expansive 22-acre Hilton Hawaiian Village® Waikiki Beach Resort. This distinctive high-rise retreat combines the scale and amenities of a grand Hawaiian resort with the atmosphere of a private luxury escape. Its Kalia Road setting provides convenient access to Kahanamoku Beach, while the surrounding resort grounds offer an impressive mix of tropical scenery, dining, shopping, entertainment, and island activities.

A typical day can start with a refreshing swim in one of five pools, including the 10,000-square-foot Super Pool, before heading to the beach for water sports or exploring the saltwater lagoon. Enjoy the water slide, relax at the exclusive third-floor pool and hot tub, or make time for the fitness center and Mandara Spa. Families can take advantage of supervised children's recreation and the activity center, while the many restaurants, lounges, shops, and resort activities make the property an appealing base for couples, solo travelers, business travelers, or small families experiencing Honolulu.

When the warmth of the Hawaiian day gives way to a softer evening, take the opportunity to slow down and enjoy the peaceful side of your island getaway. After a day of exploring Waikiki, enjoying resort activities, or discovering Honolulu, allow yourself time to relax and recharge. Weather permitting, Friday night's fireworks offer a memorable way to close the evening before looking ahead to another day of beaches, culture, and island adventures.
