OF THE PACIFIC

steward of the land on which the
hotel sits,

to provide guests with
luxurious accommodations and signature service

3 Easy Ways to Plan
a Mindful Hawaii Trip
Travel mindfully and take a trip that gives back
#1
Volunteer to
make a difference
The relationship between people and place grows stronger every time you malama (give back), creating a circle that enriches everything and everyone, including your experience as a visitor. Volunteering to cultivate a lo‘i kalo, or taro patch, will connect you to the history and the ingredients you can enjoy throughout your trip.
#2
Pack reef safe sunscreen
Hawaii was the first state to prevent bleaching of coral and other damage to the islands' ocean habitat by prohibiting sunscreen that contains harmful chemicals. Bring reef-safe sunscreen to protect the ocean's fragile ecosystem, or enjoy the Project Reef sun care line as a new complimentary amenity poolside.
#3

Over the past two decades, the restaurants and bars across the Waikiki Collection have committed to purchasing local ingredients; today, menus feature 70% locally grown, organic, and/or sustainable produce, fresh seafood and fresh eggs (by dollar amount).
