Surfers, sun-seekers, hipsters or epicureans, there is a place for everyone in Waikiki. Explore Outrigger’s eclectic resort experiences in Waikiki.

The cultured traveler

For vacationers seeking immersion in the ethos of the destination, Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort is the place to be. Following a recent $80 million top-to-bottom transformation, this contemporary beachfront retreat is barefoot luxury at its best. Rooted in Hawaiian culture with voyaging at its heart, the resort celebrates the legacy of ocean navigation in design and activations. The striking canoe-house entryway welcomes guests and carefully curated art exhibits, including an impressive body of original wayfaring artwork from celebrated Native Hawaiian historian Herb K-ne, are found throughout.

Partnerships with the Polynesian Voyaging Society and The Friends of Hokulea and Hawaiiloa ensure Hawaiian voyaging traditions stay true. A nod to Hawaii’s navigators who sailed the Pacific Ocean in a voyaging canoe guided only by current, wind and star, the Navigator Floor suites are named in their honor and offer the ultimate in luxury.

Guests can learn about the resort’s history and its connection to voyaging in the Ao Cultural Center while participating in free hands-on cultural activities such as lei- and kukui nut bracelet-making. Live Hawaiian music can be heard nightly by award-winning performers at the resort’s Kani Ka Pila Grille where guests experience a "backyard jam" and impromptu hula.

The Beach-Vibe Traveler

World-famous Canoes surf break fronts the Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort, renowned for all things surf – from guest activities to artwork and even dining at iconic Duke’s Waikiki and surf-inspired Sunrise Shack. Waik-«k-« Beach is where modern surfing was born and today, guests can rub elbows and hear surf tales from some of the top surf contenders as part of ‘Surfers in Residence,’ the resort’s guest programming in partnership with Faith Surf School.

New surf art experiences include Eduardo Bolioli’s ‘Golden Dreams,’ showcasing hand-painted surfboards of Duke Kahanamoku alongside U.S. Olympic Surf Team members including Hawaii’s gold medallist, Carissa Moore. The resort is also home to ‘Love & Aloha: Surfing in Waik-«k-«,’ an art experience curated in partnership with Bishop Museum that brings to life the surf history and modern surf culture, born in Waik-«k-«.

The Hip Traveler

A modern take on Hawaiian culture through the sights, sounds and tastes unique to Hawaii can be experienced at Waikiki Beachcomber by Outrigger. An inspiring collection of local artists and influencers, called Beachcomber Originals helped curate Waik-«k-«’s first and only craft hotel, including world-renown surf photographer, Zak Noyle, who splashed his signature underwater photography on an entire wall of every guest room. Musician Makana, whose ultra-chill soundtrack, ‘The New Sound of Waik-«k-«,’ greets guests in Beachcomber’s public spaces.

The resort’s vibe is laid back even though it’s right in the center of bustling Waik-«k-« with a myriad of restaurants, entertainment and shopping. It has touches of a modern business hotel complemented by the latest in guest technologies, yet features modern art and island-style furnishings unmistakably Hawaii.

Cool pool parties at Hawaii’s most Instagrammable café, Hawaiian Aroma Café; dive-in movies by the pool; and the best in brews from Hawaii’s first and largest craft brewery, Maui Brewing Co., will have guests hanging out with the hip crowd at the Waik-«k-« hotspot.
