"For drinks close to the sand, head to Hau Tree in the Kaimana Beach Hotel. It feels like you’re visiting a friend’s beach house, with loungey sofas and a gallery wall of tropical prints and photographs that are less Live, Laugh, Love, and more cool shots of the island. Swing by after a sunset swim at Kaimana beach, perch at the bar facing the sea and century-old hau trees, and order local beers and tropical drinks, including at least three varieties of frozen piña coladas. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - martha cheng

"One of Honolulu’s most beloved beachside restaurants, just steps from the sand on the quiet end of Waikīkī, was recently refreshed by new ownership of the Kaimana Beach Hotel. Morning views and eggs Benedict are the perennial draw here, in the shade of the 100-year-old hau trees. But it’s also the perfect place to catch the sunset, along with a revamped cocktail menu of modern tropical drinks and dinner dishes including a crisp-fried octopus with miso bearnaise that’s executed with a light touch befitting the outdoor setting." - Martha Cheng
"I’d enjoy an oceanfront brunch at Hau Tree in Honolulu, recommended for a scenic meal by the water." - Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman is a New York-based writer and editor who specializes in travel, lifestyle, food, and shopping content.

"For drinks right by the sand, head to Hau Tree in the Kaimana Beach Hotel, which feels like you’re visiting a friend’s dream beach house. Find local beers, ciders, and tropical drinks including a variety of piña coladas, spanning everything from a classic version to the Miami Vice, part frose, part piña colada. Hau Tree is also a great place to come if you don’t feel like drinking, but still want to soak up the scene: non-alcoholic cocktails—like the E Komo Mai with pineapple, guava, lilikoi, orgeat, lime, and iced tea—get the tropical treatment, too." - martha cheng
