About Aulani

Disney’s Aulani Resort & Spa is a Hawaiian culture-themed Deluxe Villa Resort located on the western shore of Oahu in the master-planned Ko Olina resort community, just 17 miles from Honolulu International Airport. Inspired by the natural beauty and rich heritage of the Hawaiian Islands, Aulani weaves authentic storytelling, native artistry, and the spirit of ʻohana into every corner of the property—all while delivering the unmistakable touches of Disney magic.

The resort sits on 21 acres of beachfront land surrounding a private snorkeling lagoon and features two distinct accommodation styles: Standard Hotel Rooms and Suites, plus the full range of Disney Vacation Club Villas including Deluxe Studios, one- and two-bedroom villas, and the three-bedroom Grand Villas that sleep up to twelve guests. Every villa features views of the Pacific Ocean, the resort’s lush valley pools, or the surrounding Ko Olina mountains.

Aulani’s recreation offerings are unmatched among Disney resorts. The Waikolohe Valley pool area includes a lazy river, two waterslides, infinity-edge whirlpool spas, and Rainbow Reef—a private snorkeling lagoon stocked with more than twenty species of tropical fish. Guests can also enjoy the daily Aunty’s Beach House children’s program, Painted Sky teen spa, the world-class Laniwai Spa, and a calendar of cultural activities led by Hawaiian Cast Members. Dining ranges from the celebrated ‘AMA’AMA oceanfront restaurant to the popular KA WA’A Lu’au.

Booking Disney’s Aulani Resort through a DVC rental can save guests up to 70% off the standard Disney retail rate. Studios, one-bedroom villas, two-bedroom villas, and Grand Villas are all available, making this resort an outstanding choice for couples seeking a romantic Hawaiian escape, families wanting an immersive island experience, and multigenerational groups looking to combine authentic Hawaiian culture with the reliability and care of a Disney Resort.
