HIDDEN PARADISE COVE SUNSET PHOTO
The Best Hidden Beach on Oahu—Paradise Cove (Lanikuhonua Beach) Like every other beach in Hawaii, Paradise Cove is a public beach. It is located in Kapolei, right next to the Four Seasons Resort at Ko Olina. The best part? It’s just a quick walk from the Aulani resort. We learned about this from our Flytographer Photographer Daniella, who is a local and did an amazing 60 min shoot for our family.

HOW TO GET THERE
Once you’re at the Aulani resort, walk towards the beach. Make a right and follow the walkway to the Four Seasons Hotel. Walk through the resort and head to the ocean off to the right. You’ll see a small rocky and sandy trail. Take that to the right and head to the hidden beach.

AULANI POOLS
It’s no surprise Aulani has some of the best pools, water slides, lazy river and splash zones we’ve been to. Waikolohe Pool is Aulani’s main pool, situated beside the resort’s beachfront cove is a zero-entry pool. It’s a fun spot to swim and splash together as a family. It has a beautiful view of the volcanic vertical water slide. Ka Maka Grotto is an infinity edge family pool overlooking Ko Olina Beach. Two words, Breathtaking views!
