The oceanfront spa features treatment suites opening directly toward the waves, alongside an outdoor swimming pool on the sand.

The neighborhood
Surf breaks sit directly outside the back gate, while luxury boutiques line Kalākaua Avenue out front.
“The original Moana Surfrider opened in 1901, which means it predated by half a century or more the highly developed Waikiki Beach that’s familiar to modern visitors.”
“Affectionately known as "First Lady of Waikiki" the Victorian Moana was the first luxury hotel to debut in Honolulu and is on the National Register of Historic Places.”
