Gracing the North Shore of O’ahu, the re-imagined Turtle Bay Resort celebrates the historic land and culture of the iconic island. 1,400 oceanfront acres and five miles of pristine beach. Turtle Bay Resort, offering the best of Oahu’s iconic North Shore, has been transformed and reopens July 1, 2020. Whether you want to perfect a surf session, unwind with a wellness journey, or reconnect with family and friends, expect amenities poised for inspired play. With miles of beaches, swaying palms, and a deeply rooted culture, Turtle Bay on O’ahu’s North Shore takes the “aloha spirit” to the next level.
Opening July 1, 2021, deeply rooted in the land, the history, and the layered richness of O’ahu, at Turtle Bay you’ll find an authentic connection to a place of uncommon natural splendor and the warm, welcoming community within it. Where your days are filled with constant discovery and moments that touch your soul, allowing you to explore the uncommon depths of this remarkable coast. The North Shore Oahu property, which opened in 1973, took advantage of the Covid-19 pandemic shutdown to execute an expansive transformation including the pools, brand new options for accommodations, reimagined food, and beverage options as well as resort activities.
Accommodation options range from rooms and suites to bungalows and villas, all recently remodeled with upscale furnishings and unobstructed ocean views. Bungalows provide an intimate experience within the larger resort. Grouped in clusters of six, expect personal lanais and easy access to the Pacific Ocean, which is just steps from your door.
Just a 10-minute ride from the Polynesian Cultural Center, the resort is home to the “most authentic luau in Hawaii.” As the royal ceremony of ancient luaus is recreated, experience a traditional Ali’i Luau among waterfalls, hibiscus blossoms, and a meandering lagoon. A Hawaiian feast is served, accompanied by traditional dance, songs, and local performances.
Located on a coastline with the most powerful waves in the world, Turtle Bay also has idyllic bays for swimming and snorkeling, and miles of pristine beaches. Kawela Bay, Turtle Bay’s most popular of its seven beaches, is known for its clear water, sandy bottoms, and colorful corals, which make it an ideal location for snorkeling near the reef’s beautiful fish and resident sea turtles. Alternatively, spend the day with one of Turtle Bay’s certified professional surf instructors and learn to stand up on your first surfing outing.
Nalu Spa provides a multi-sensory experience. With treatment rooms overlooking the ocean, guests will enjoy treatments to the sound of the nearby surf. Try the Coconut Lava Shell Massage to relieve muscle tension and moisturize damaged skin. The heat of the lava shell helps relax and smooth away knots while the spa’s natural coconut-argan massage oil hydrates and nourishes.
Turtle Bay is just one of the many properties we have available on our Hawaii vacation packages.
