Ko Olina Resort is a 642-acre (2.60 km2) master-planned vacation and residential community on the leeward coast of Oahu, 17 miles (27 km) west of Honolulu.[3] Ko Olina has 2 miles (3.2 km) of coastal frontage and includes three natural and four man-made lagoons with white-sand beaches. The master-planned resort community, owned by Honolulu-based The Resort Group, is home to four hotel and vacation-club resorts: Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa, Marriott's Ko Olina Beach Club, the Beach Villas at Ko Olina and The Four Seasons Resort O'ahu at Ko Olina, and villa homes at Ko Olina Kai, Kai Lani, Coconut Plantation, and Hillside.[4] Previously, the JW Marriott at Ko Olina occupied the Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts property. An Atlantis Resort, similar to Atlantis Dubai, was being designed as an international destination for millennial travelers,[5] before plans were scrapped due to financial issues.[6] The property was planned to be adjacent to the condominiums located on the Honu lagoon.
Major events hosted at Ko Olina Resort include the LPGA Lotte Championship,[7] the Ko Olina Children's Film & Music Festival[8] and the Hawaii Food & Wine Festival.[9] Ko Olina is a spot frequented by celebrities.[10]
Under The Resort Group's ownership, Ko Olina has created a $10B master-planned waterfront community, created over 5,000 jobs and generates approximately $2.5B in economic impacts for the State of Hawaii annually.
