Turtle Bay Resort offers a portal to paradise in its exclusive Ocean Bungalows.
As you approach the Ocean Bungalows at Turtle Bay Resort on O’ahu, you start to sense a shift. The noise and bustle of the resort fade away as a pathway lined with lush greenery seems to usher you into a secret garden. The scent of plumeria hangs in the air and the sound of the waves on the shore carries through the landscape. You feel transported and at ease. Here, Turtle Bay Resort has carved out a pristine corner of its 1,300 North Shore acres to create an oasis within an oasis.
The Ocean Bungalows are truly a destination like no other, a special and rarefied Hawai’i retreat where you’ll be welcomed with aloha and treated to bliss. Here’s why you should book your escape now.
1. Your every need will be tended to.
The 42 bungalows are serviced by a dedicated team of hosts, whose priority is to ensure anything that you could need during your stay is taken care of. Whether you desire a dinner reservation at Alaia or tips for exploring O’ahu, your host has it handled. The hosts can also book you into one of the many complimentary activities you can take advantage of as a bungalow guest: snorkeling gear, bike and surfboard rentals, tours of Kuilima Farm, group wellness classes and intro to surfing with Jamie O’Brien Surf Experience.
2. You’ll enjoy luxe accommodations.
Everything about the bungalows, from the modern coastal design to the 15-foot ceilings and wall of windows framing your ocean view, exudes elegance. Every detail has been considered to cultivate an atmosphere of relaxation and renewal. Fresh-baked banana bread, seasonal juice and Turtle Bay Resort’s dark rum will be waiting for you when you arrive. The spa-like bathroom features a soaking tub and Hawai’i-made products, including black lava bath salts, as well as plush robes and slippers to use during your stay.
Motorized black-out shades ensure a deep sleep, and when you wake, you can reveal the jaw-dropping vista with just the press of a button. Options for lounging abound—you can choose from a king or two queen beds, and each bungalow has a living room with a pull-out sofa—but our favorite place to relax is the private lanai. It’s the perfect spot for morning coffee, an afternoon nap or an after-hours nightcap.
3. The adults-only pool is pure bliss.
With uninterrupted ocean views, the adults-only infinity pool at the Ocean Bungalows is designed with one goal in mind: serenity. The peaceful atmosphere makes it easy to lose track of time as you lounge in the sun or snooze under an umbrella. A poolside bar offers refreshing drinks, and concierge service comes by throughout the day with complimentary treats like frozen popsicles and wellness shots. Bungalow guests can also indulge in complimentary cocktails at the pool on Tuesdays and Fridays during Evenings on the Edge.
4. The beach will be your backyard.
Every room at Turtle Bay Resort offers an ocean view, but it’s only in the bungalows where you can go from your bed to the beach in less than a minute. The secluded nature of the bungalows immerses you in the resort’s pristine landscape, letting you take complete advantage of the unspoiled coastline. You can lounge in one of the beach chairs to watch the surfers at Kulima Point Break or head west along the shoreline on the Kawela Main Trail to explore the Hidden Beach Loop and Banyan Tree. And at the end of each day, you’ll have a front-row seat to an unforgettable sunset.
Your sanctuary awaits at the Ocean Bungalows.
