Resorts in Hawaii 

There are two Outrigger Resorts in Hawaii, both in prime locations right on Waikiki Beach with stellar views of Diamond Head. Both of these legendary properties are just steps from great shopping, nightlife, dining and visitor attractions.

 

Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort

With its high-energy location on Kalakaua Avenue, the Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort is in the pulsating heart of everything visitors expect from Waikiki. Guests can step right onto Waikiki’s best beachfront, enjoying superb water sports and people watching. Also just outside the door are places such as the Waikiki Beach Walk, with its unique shops, restaurants and entertainment plaza.

 

Dining and Activities

No place captures the essence and laid-back ambience of Waikiki Beach more than the resort’s famous Duke’s Waikiki restaurant and bar. Located on the site of the original Outrigger Canoe Club, the restaurant honors Duke Kahanamoku, the great ocean sportsman and father of modern surfing. Duke’s is the perfect spot to sip a local brew as the sun sets over Diamond Head. With live music offered nightly, some of Hawaii’s best contemporary musicians are sure to be found on its beachfront stage.

 

Oceanfront dining with views of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head are also part of the experience at the Hula Grill Waikiki, which serves breakfast and dinner daily and offers live music, and Chuck’s Steak House, known for its prime USDA steaks and fresh island seafood.

 

Further boosting the Outrigger Waikiki as a music showcase is the new Blue Note Hawaii, an offshoot of the iconic New York-based jazz club. Located inside the resort, the club is Hawaii’s premier venue for world-renowned artists, from jazz and blues greats to Hawaiian favorites. The 9.000-square-foot showroom seats up to 300 guests and offers two performances per night, seven days a week. Along with scheduled shows, Blue Note Hawaii is also an exciting venue option for private events.

 

The resort celebrates local culture with a full range of activities, including the chance to practice traditional crafts and “talk story” with local artisans about what makes Hawaii a special place. Guests also enjoy a sundeck with a swimming pool and whirlpool, complimentary Saturday morning yoga sessions and easy access to an array of water sports and beach services, including surfing lessons.

 

Infinity Massage

A soothing touch is combined with ocean views at Infinity Massage located in a two-level penthouse at Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort. The spa provides a wide menu of massage styles, including traditional Hawaiian Lomi Lomi, Swedish, Shiatsu, Deep Tissue, and Reflexology. Choices also include Thai Herbal, a yoga massage with deep stretches and energy aligning acupressure. Guests can also relax with massage treatments in the privacy of their rooms or partake in a customized wellness program designed by the spa therapists.

 

Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort

An oasis on the quieter side of Waikiki, the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort provides the perfect beachside setting for a leisurely getaway, wedding or Hawaiian Vow Renewal.

 

Dining and Activities

Located poolside, Kana Ka Pila Grille is where guests and locals alike gather to enjoy casual Hawaiian cuisine and hear live music performed by leading slack-key and contemporary Hawaiian music artists. Performers such as Cyril Pahinui, a legendary master of the slack-key guitar, and up-and-coming hit makers appear nightly.

 

With Waikiki Beach as a backdrop, guests can grill their own hand-carved steaks and fresh fish at the Shore Bird Restaurant and Beach Bar. The gathering spot offers everything from a breakfast buffet to late-night dining and karaoke. For beachfront dining in an atmosphere of casual elegance, The Ocean House Restaurant is known for Pacific Rim cuisine featuring fresh island seafood.
