5 Great Hotels Around the World for Solo Travelers - AFAR
"Positioned across from Waikīkī Beach, this hotel aims to stand apart from more family- or honeymoon-focused properties by fostering local culture and social programming: an artist-in-residency rotation, partnerships (including talks with environmental groups), and interactive events that make conversation easy. A daily activities calendar includes hula, ukulele, and flower lei lessons, while ongoing local collaborations and talks draw both tourists and locals. For water sports, the property partners with a West Oʻahu destination that offers a deep-water standing wave pool for consistent river-surfing practice, with a shuttle that picks up guests directly across the street and options for coached or uncoached sessions. The ocean-facing Coconut Club lounge and regular programming create plenty of low-pressure social opportunities." - Alexandra Cheney
