Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa, Waikiki Beach is a 4-star historic oceanfront property with a 110-year-old banyan tree growing seaside. The resort features a creaky porch, white columned lobby with tray ceilings, grand staircase, and hanging cage lanterns.

Premium Heavenly Beds

Tower rooms facing Diamond Head crater have some of the best ocean views. Each stylish room features a king-size or two double-size pillow-top Heavenly Beds, flat screen TV, writing desk, and tile-floored baths with Westin shower amenities.

Oceanfront Dining Options

Enjoy a modern take on refined oceanfront dining at Beachhouse at the Moana with island-inspired classics, seafood and premium steaks. The Moana offers casual and formal dining options including Beach Bar, Veranda, Vintage 1901 wine bar, and Surfrider Cafe serving healthy options for on-the-go travelers.

Beachfront Spa Services

Moana Lani Spa, the only oceanfront spa in Waikiki, melds ancient Hawaiian healing traditions with innovative spa rituals. The property offers daily activities including hula lessons, lei making, history tours, stand-up paddle board and surfing lessons in waters fronting the resort.

Central Waikiki Location

Moana Surfrider is right off Kalakaua Avenue and kitty-corner from International Market Place's shops and restaurants. Honolulu is 12.5 miles away, with high-end retailers and chain restaurants just outside the hotel's front door.

“This beachfront resort distinguishes itself with a historical ambiance and wellness programs featuring traditional Hawaiian treatments; its dining excels with locally-sourced menus. While some rooms could use an update and construction noise can be disruptive, its location near Waikiki Beach is prime. Its blend of Victorian elegance and modern comfort makes it a worthwhile consideration.”
