'This legendary North Shore retreat sits on sacred Hawaiian land where ancient green sea turtles have nested for centuries, offering an authentic connection to island culture just steps from world-famous Pipeline surf breaks.'
What's Special?
The Ritz-Carlton sits on 1,300 acres of pristine coastline featuring two championship golf courses designed by Arnold Palmer and George Fazio. The resort's location on Turtle Bay is significant to Hawaiian culture - the area is called "Honu" meaning turtle, and is considered a sacred gathering place. You're also staying at the only luxury resort on Oahu's legendary North Shore, home to the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Visit during winter months (November-February) to witness massive 30-foot waves at nearby Pipeline and Sunset Beach, or come in summer for calmer waters perfect for snorkeling with the resident sea turtles.
