Kahala amenities
There is no end to the amenities that are available to residents of Kahala. Diamond Head State Monument is home to one of the state’s most recognized landmarks – a broad, saucer-shaped crater formed more than 300,000 years ago during an explosive eruption. Hike the nearly one-mile trail that leads to the summit and stunning coastal views.
Wai’alae Beach Park, located next to the Kahala Hotel & Resort, is a popular destination for weddings. It features a narrow sandy beach and is an excellent place for surfing and windsurfing.
