The Halekulani in Hawaii has a rich history of 100 years since its founding in 1917 on the Waikiki beachfront.
Halekulani Okinawa is currently under construction in Onna Village and will start accepting reservations from February 2019, before it officially opens on July 26, 2019.
Halekulani Okinawa is the second Halekulani hotel. The 360-room resort is built within the Okinawa Kaigan Quasi-National Park and faces a 1.7km stretch of some of Okinawa’s best coastline.
Halekulani, which means House Befitting Heaven, stays true to its meaning as all guest rooms are designed to have a view of the ocean and designed according to the traditional minimalist Halekulani theme of seven shades of white.
Each room is at least 50 square metres and 47 suites are between 76 square metres and 297 square metres. There will also be five villas each with its own private pool and natural hot spring.
The hotel will have four signature restaurants including an all-day dining restaurant, steak and wine, Japanese restaurant and an innovative concept restaurant which has appointed Hiroyasu Kawate, who has two Michelin stars under his belt, as consulting chef.
