Our History
because we get better with time
Kaimana Beach Hotel, which opened in 1963 (on the site which previously held the private residence of the McInerny family in 1903), is lauded along the Gold Coast of O‘ahu, a mere mile from the vibrant heart of Waikīkī – a beloved retreat for Ali’i, rulers of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Its grounds were frequented by novelists including, Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894), who found rest and poetry under the great Hau Tree grove, which stands today as the namesake of the award-winning restaurant located in the heart of the hotel.

Sustainability
an oasis along the seashore
We are a gathering place for Kamaʻāina by Kamaʻāina, because we know that this oceanfront oasis will only remain special if we care for our neighbors, land and culture, all treasured in this historically celebrated Gold Coast community nestled under Lē’ahi.
At Kaimana Beach Hotel, we are committed to sustainably-minded hospitality, sharing the values of energy efficiency and community stewardship. Our conservation efforts include LED lighting, Variable Frequency Drives (VFD), low-flow plumbing fixtures, premium efficiency motors, and motion-sensing switches in storage areas, offices, and stairwells to reduce unnecessary energy use. Beyond sustainability, we actively engage in social responsibility through initiatives such as the ‘Community Stewardship of Kaimana Beach Park’ and numerous charitable events throughout the year. Our awareness and best practices have global reach through The Highgate Charitable Foundation (HCF) a 501c3 public charity, committed to supporting philanthropic organizations and communities worldwide that address issues related to poverty, education and healthcare. HCF fundraises on behalf of a diverse array of public charities dedicated to the betterment of our global community.
Through mindfulness, best practices, and community engagement, we continue to make a meaningful impact through hospitality with aloha.
