Reserve Cabana Rentals and Pre-register for Aunty’s Beach House

As your trip approaches, there are a few important things to book or arrange 90 days before you arrive:
  • Cabana Rentals: Aulani offers cabanas by the pool or overlooking the beach where you can relax. These are popular, so be sure to book early to get the best spot.
  • Aunty’s Beach House: If you’re traveling with children, pre-register them for Aunty’s Beach House. It’s a complimentary kids club where children can enjoy crafts, games, and more.
