Try Oahu for a Quick Beach Vacation
Try Oahu for a quick beach vacation getaway the next time you need a little stress relief. Known for Waikiki, the coolest of all Hawaii beaches, Oahu has over 100 miles of beaches for you to explore on your next vacation. If seclusion and surfing are your mainstays, you might want to try the North Shore of Oahu for your beach vacation.
Oahu also prides itself on becoming a cultural as well as a culinary hot spot. The diversity of the population lends itself to many cultural and ethnic combinations. This is discovered in the artwork as well as the food choices available on this tropical island.
Just because you’ve chosen a beach vacation does not mean you must sacrifice the luxury of an opulent hotel like the Halekulani. They have one of the most luxurious spas in the world where you can be pampered like a king.
But if you’re on a budget then the Waikiki Parc Hotel, across the street from the Halekulani, is a good choice. Since The Parc Hotel is not located directly on the water, the price of a room can be a few hundred dollars cheaper. The money you save can be used at the Nobu outpost in the lobby of the Parc or an ocean view room upgrade.
Another good value for your beach vacation dollar would be a stay at the Aqua Waikiki Wave which is a couple blocks from the beach. In 2006, the hotel undertook a total renovation and now you can get free WiFi and even flat screen TVs. If you’re bothered by street noise, reserve a room on an upper floor.
Oahu may seem like a long flight away for a weekend beach vacation but it’s only a short 5.5 hours from Seattle, Los Angeles or San Francisco.
