Property Features.
Disney Imagineers collaborated with local artisans to create Aulani - A Disney Resort & Spa, ensuring that the stories of Hawai'i are woven into the landscape, recreation areas, excursions, and activities; creating an all-encompassing experience. There is plenty of fun to be had for all ages. Waikolohe Valley, the huge pool complex, includes an 8,200 square foot main pool, a snorkeling pool with tropical fish, a lazy river, waterslides, and a play area for children; adults can sip tropical cocktails beside the more tranquil Wailana Pool, somewhat removed from the action. At Laniwai - A Disney Spa, nearly 150 treatments are available, as well as access to the 5,000-square-foot hydrology garden. Painted Sky, the only teen spa in Hawai'i, is customized for ages 13 to 17. In addition to treatments designed for teenagers, a DIY mixology bar and perfume bar are on offer. While mom and dad relax at the spa, younger guests can check into Aunty's Beach House, with a playground, video games, activities, and counselor supervision-- all complimentary.
