L iving in Hawai‘i means that the perfect holiday is always just down the road. We get millions of visitors each year, all of them in a big hurry to shuttle themselves to our world-class beaches and scenic coastlines—but why should they have all the fun? For kama‘āina, the staycation is an art. With some of the best oceanfront resorts in the world and a wide range of prices and styles, there’s a lot to choose from. Here are some of our favorite kama‘āina deals for your next staycation on O‘ahu.

White Sands Hotel

We love this retro hidden gem, which gets bonus points for its affordability and fabulous on-site bar/restaurant. On the hotel’s website, kama‘āina can save up to 30% off the best available room rate room prices for the property, which was remodeled and rebranded in a hip style. Locals can also snag a discounted amenity fee of $15.

To sweeten the deal, the hotel will throw in a $20 daily food and beverage credit (credits cannot be stacked) at the property’s delightful poolside Heyday restaurant. With its modern tiki cocktails, ultra-tropical vibes (including swings at the bar!) and casual-meets-elevated entrees, this spot is a can’t-miss.

The Prince Hotel

The Prince Hotel, located at the entrance to Waikīkī next to the marina, doesn’t get as much attention as it should. It has a beautiful lobby, a chef’s-kiss buffet that’s one of the best on the island and a fantastic rooftop bar. But maybe the Kama‘āina Staycation deal will change that. Book now through Feb. 19, 2025, and enjoy an Ocean Room starting at $199 (plus tax, per night) and 50% off self or valet parking for one vehicle. With this deal, you can also enjoy a waived resort charge, a pool cabana discount and a kids-eat-free program for children 5 years and younger. You can also plan ahead for this summer and beyond—this staycation deal applies for dates through Dec. 23, 2025.

Voted one of the Top 10 Hotels in Hawai‘i by Conde Nast Traveler’s readers, the Wayfinder Waikīkī offers the perfect oasis for a staycation. Just five minutes from International Market Place, the hotel boasts 228 rooms with lively tropical designs, with some overlooking the 70-foot saltwater pool.

The Kāhala Hotel

The Kāhala Hotel, located just outside of Waikīkī, lends itself to a much quieter, more private experience and feels like luxury the moment you step into its gorgeous, airy lobby with its high ceilings and dramatic blown-glass chandeliers. And the price tag reflects it: Room nights at this beauty start in the $500 range.

But thanks to its incredible 40% off kama‘āina deal on most dates, locals can treat themselves to a taste of that luxury. Plus, you can enjoy a number of free amenities, including Hawaiian cultural classes, keiki activities and bicycle rentals.

Disney’s ‘Aulani Resort

Sometimes you want to get out of the city, right? Or at the very least, just not have to fight traffic on your commute into town. Ko Olina’s lagoons are perfect for families doing a little weekend holoholo, but even more fun when you treat the kids to a weekday stay at Disney’s ‘Aulani, where they can visit all their favorite Disney characters and enjoy the lazy river, rapids, private snorkeling lagoon and splash zone.

Plan ahead for this winter with up to 30% savings on select rooms and villas on most Sunday through Thursday nights for stays of two nights or longer from Jan. 4 to Apr. 10, 2025.
