Ko Olina is sometimes overlooked as a place to not only vacation, but to live year round. There are currently 6 different neighborhoods sprinkled throughout the resort and each of them have a different look and feel to them. Settings, architecture, amenities and price range all create different choices depending on what a person is looking for. What they all share in common is being located in the beautiful Ko Olina resort. 5 of the communities will allow you to be members of the Ko Olina Sports Club with access to the tennis courts, gym and discounts within the area.

Located within 3 miles of Kapolei, Ko Olina offers convenient access to shopping but the relaxed atmosphere of living within walking distance to 4 gorgeous lagoons and miles of walking trails. As you drive in, you know you've arrived to a special place, and it is easy to understand why Disney has selected Ko Olina to build their Newest entry to their Disney Vacation Club,  Aulani  " A Disney Resort and Spa". She will be opening on August 29th, 2011 and that's about a month away as I write and she looks lovely!

As you continue on into the Resort, you'll pass the Marriotts Ihilani 5 star Hotel and then adjacent to this fantastic property, you'll come to the future site of the Disney Hotel. Located on 23 + acres and fronting the second half of the largest of the 4 Lagoons, this should be quite a transformation to the area.
