Honolulu’s Gold Coast is a beautiful stretch of coastline that runs from the edge of Waikiki to the front slopes of Diamond Head. With the Pacific Ocean as its front yard and Kapi‘olani Park and Honolulu’s most famous landmark—Diamond Head—as its backdrop, the Gold Coast is a favorite vacation destination for visitors to O‘ahu. Located on the quiet end of Waikiki Beach, it offers easy access to the incredible dining, shopping, and watersports offered in Honolulu’s most famous tourist area. The Gold Coast is home to the popular Outrigger Canoe Club, the Elks Club, and some of the most charming beaches and attractions on O‘ahu.
The Waikiki Shell, Honolulu’s premier outdoor concert venue, sits inside Kapi‘olani Park, along with a series of public tennis courts and 300 acres of recreational space used for jogging, biking, picnics, frisbee, sports, yoga classes, and more. The Honolulu Zoo and the Honolulu Aquarium can be found along the edge of the park, within easy walking distance to all Gold Coast accommodations and Gold Coast vacation rentals.
Standing as one of Oʻahu's premier destinations for travelers is the Sans Souci Building, a testament to architectural grace and historical prominence on the Gold Coast. This 13-story beachfront edifice, built in 1960, is a cherished landmark and an important piece of South Oʻahu's past. Celebrated for its iconic name and the famous faces who have graced its halls, Sans Souci has become a coveted and celebrated location. Each residence, from intimate studios to expansive 2-bedroom apartments and lavish penthouse suites, is crafted with the utmost attention to comfort. Expansive lanais beckon guests to immerse themselves in the breathtaking vistas of the Gold Coast, while modern conveniences cater to every conceivable need.
