The property's 17-acre oceanfront estate provides multiple ceremony and reception venues with unobstructed views of the East China Sea, while maintaining the intimate service standards that distinguish it from larger destination competitors.
We would give the Halekulani Okinawa 6 stars if we could! Everything about our stay was a dream. The room is the most fantastic room we have every stayed in: spacious, spotless, incredible view, sexy, well designed, great amenities.
