The most coveted spot on Waikiki Beach lies within the billowing sanctuary of the private beachfront cabanas at the Royal Beach Club.  Unrivaled panoramic views of Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach and the sparkling Pacific Ocean await those hotel guests fortunate to lounge within the confines of these singularly captivating seaside retreats.  Royal Beach Club servers attend to the most delicate details, focused on providing you with an exceptional experience –whether you wish for a repast of gourmet bites, refills of a refreshing elixir or an oceanfront lomilomi massage.  Twilight transforms the cabanas into jewel-box dining spaces – stylish and seductive – for an intimate epicurean adventure or sipping fine cocktails under a starlit sky.
