Aulani, is a 21-acre oceanfront property set within the Ko’olina Resort Community and Marina. The name Aulani, which translates to messenger of a chief, is supposed to represent the resort as a messenger of the Hawaiʻian Spirit, people and culture — and Disney does their best to make this happen. Among the unique experiences at Aulani are the Makai Preserve stingray adventure, the Painted Sky teen lounge, laniwai spa and the Menehune Bridge, a water play area full of fun and surprise.
