Best Shopping Malls in Oahu Area

It’s the largest outdoor shopping mall in the world, an extensive maze of over 340 merchants including more than 70 dining options, surrounded by tropical gardens and koi ponds. There’s even four Starbucks on-site!"

"Check out the famous Ala Moana Shopping Center, the largest open-air shopping center in the world. Stores include Macy’s, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom and, as of 2015, Bloomingdale’s."

"The Royal Hawaiian Center is right in the middle of Waikiki, on the northern edge of the beach area. This shopping and dining center also provides opportunities for free classes in Ukulele, Weaving, Lei-making, and more!. Check out the Events page to see what’s going on while you’re there!"

"Visit the Royal Hawaiian Center, home to Cartier, Hermes, Salvatore Ferragamo, Bvlgari, bebe, LeSportsac, Rolex Kaimama Kea, Kate spade, Tourneau, Juicy Couture, and Fendi, as well as ten restaurants, several causal eateries and The Royal Grove cultural venue."

"When planning your trip to Honolulu, you’ll want to know all of the best spots for shopping. Where else can you buy bobble-headed hula dancers as souvenirs?. The Royal Hawaiian Center isn’t the only shopping complex in the city."

"Just a stone’s throw away from Waikiki, there is another place to hang out or find a souvenir to remember your trip. Kahala Mall is a beachfront complex in the vibrant neighborhood of Kahala, with over 100 shops, including retail stores and restaurants. You can even find a Whole Foods Market if you’re willing to buy fresh ingredients to cook while visiting Honolulu."

"Set away from Waikiki's bustle, this friendly shopping mall offers browsing in air-conditioned comfort. Its 90 stores include Macy's, Banana Republic, Barnes & Noble, Aveda, and Ann Taylor. A selection of service businesses is also available, and the munchies can be put to rest by pizza, Japanese, burger, vegetarian, Korean, and American eateries."

"Visit Kahala Mall, located on Waialae Avenue on the east side of Oahu. Check out the array of internationally renowned stores, including the Apple Store, Macy's, Barnes & Noble, Starbucks, Jamba Juice, Radio Shack, Chili's, California Pizza Kitchen and an eight-screen Consolidated Theatres movie theater."

"Ask a bunch of locals about the International Marketplace, and it may draw mixed reviews. Long story short, the old International Marketplace was more akin to a Polynesian craft market, while the new International Marketplace, renovated and opened in 2016, features vendors like Rolex and Tesla. Regardless of your opinion on the stores themselves, the Marketplace as a venue is beautiful, with stone walking paths alongside manicured gardens underneath large banyan trees (including a tree house)."

"As part of the Ward Village complex, South Shore Market is a place to relax and hang out while shopping. Surrounded by a modern aesthetic, it offers a local vibe, the same feeling as being in a small city. Despite that, Ala Moana Park is just across the street, and Ala Moana beach is a few steps away."

"Hawai'i Kai Shopping Center is a typical retail center in Honolulu where you can find everything in one shot. From Costco to CVS, Ross, Burger King, and Starbucks, it’s easy to spend the day from one store to another. If you feel hungry, there are plenty of options in the food court — fast food, coffee shop, sushi, yogurt, and more."

"Hawaii Kai Shopping Center, along Keahole Street (just off Kalanianaole Hwy). A large strip mall that's one of the main shopping areas in Honolulu, anchored by ..."

"Stop in Kahuku, the next town, for shrimp at any one of its food trucks, before driving to Ehukai Beach Park, also known as the renowned surf spot Banzai Pipeline. Down the road, at Shark’s Cove, you’ll want to walk in its tidepools and snorkel its fairly shallow depths, before stopping at world-famous Waimea Bay. Choose a beach to lounge at for the rest of the day, before exploring Haleiwa Town and getting an early dinner at Haleiwa Beach House. Instead of ending your day on the North Shore here, consider driving back to the Polynesian Cultural Center for its evening show, Ha: Breath of Life, featuring over 100 Polynesian dancers—one of the best shows in Hawaii."

"If you prefer a small and quiet area for swimming, then the Halona Beach Cove fits the bill. A movie is known as “From here to eternity” was shot in this location. Make sure to stay away from the rock areas, given that the waves can be turbulent."

"The shoyu ramen is great, but if you’re feeling adventurous, try the tan tan ramen with a side of gyoza."

"Aside from the food, Banzai has a unique atmosphere and offers traditional floor seating if you choose. With an appealing slogan of ‘keep it raw, keep it real,’ there are many fresh, light options that don’t include having your whole sushi roll deep friend (that was just what I preferred). The restaurant also has a wide variety of drinks that includes specialty cocktails, wines, and beers."
