Disney’s Aulani Resort and Spa in Ko Olina Hawaii has so much to tell you. Stories are woven into the plants, carved into the rocks, and the very fabrics that surround you.
For instance the small shrubs with blueberries in Waikolohe Valley. This small plant can be used to dye kapa. The people of old Hawaii used for this to make clothing and even bedding. You can even take classes in the community hall with a kapa practitioner from Wai Anae. Everything, including the activities, really incorporate Hawaiian culture. The outdoor yoga by the lagoon reflects the Hawaiian ideal of harmony with nature. The round glass balls on the garden area’s lights represent the kukui nuts that early Polynesians used to burn in torches.
In Hawaii, Auntie and Uncle are titles given not to family, but to respected and revered members of the community. In the evening, by the poolside firepit, you will find Uncle, a master storyteller You will learn so much about the history of the islands while being entertained and enchanted by his animated storytelling.
Aulani also has one of the world’s largest collections of contemporary Hawaiian art. There is a painted mural around the entry that depicts Hawaii’s history ranging from the early Polynesians to modern times.
Hawaiian dancers teach guests traditional Hawaiian dances with a story woven throughout during Aulani’s Starlit Hui. Watch as your children’s eyes widen in wonder as you take them on a Menehune Trail Adventure around the resort. Here technology meets tradition as little ones learn while exploring and having fun.
