Posted on April 27, 2022

Located on the island of Oahu, Disney's Aulani Vacation Club Villas are the ideal choice for families who love to vacation in Hawaii. With Disney timeshare resales, it is possible for anyone to enjoy the magic of an island getaway.

An Overview of Disney's Aulani Vacation Club Villas

This popular timeshare resort is tucked away from Waikiki's bustle in Ko Olina, a peaceful retreat. Thanks to a coved-in beach, this resort promises idyllic ocean swimming, even for little ones. If you don't feel like visiting the beach, simply head to the pool complex, which boasts a man-made snorkeling reef, a lazy river and two exciting waterslides.

Families will love the activities and amenities at this property. These include character breakfasts that include some of the most beloved Disney personalities. Within the complex are a private marina and the Ko Olina Golf Course as well as a state-of-the-art fitness center and spa. Additionally, the rooms are lovely and well-appointed with tasteful Hawaiian décor.

This Hawaii timeshare is secluded, so it takes planning to get to off-property attractions and entertainment. Waikiki is an approximate 40-minute drive from the resort.

If you're used to vacationing at mainland Disney hotels, you'll discover that the brand's themes are subtler here. The service is outstanding, your family will enjoy delicious dining and the kids will definitely love being catered to.

This may be the premier resort for families on Oahu.

What’s it Like in Ko Olina?

In the Hawaiian language, "Ko Olina" means "place of joy." This is a fitting name for a community that is essentially a master-planned resort. In fact, it's apt to think of Ko Olina as an enormous, gated community that houses four man-made lagoons, a top-rated golf course and several luxury hotels in addition to numerous activities.

Ko Olina is found on Oahu's western side. It's quieter than super-busy Waikiki, making it a favorite for families who want to slow down and relax.

This is a community that's bursting with things to do. Your family might want to swim in the lagoons, try some of the hiking trails, go snorkeling, enjoy some stand-up paddle boarding, improve their golf game or go sailing.

Ko Olina was established in the 1980s, and it boasts residential communities as well as resorts. An excellent location on Oahu's leeward side makes for drier, more predictable weather. This means that golfers can make the most of the award-winning course and also the conditions are always right for sailing.

Did you know that Ko Olina has a water park? If you want something a little different from the beach or the pool, visit the Wet 'n Wild Hawaii water park. You won't be disappointed!

There's so much to do within Ko Olina that you almost don't have to leave to have the total experience. However, most visitors are excited to explore more of Oahu, like Honolulu and Waikiki, and that means it's necessary to rent a car.

The Pool Complex

At Disney's Aulani Vacation Club Villas, the pool complex is so impressive that it's in a class by itself. It's regarded by many as the best pool in Ko Olina, and some visitors go so far as to say that it's the best on Oahu.

The pool area at the resort is huge. Centrally located, it is in many ways the heart of the property. The company focused on bringing an element of magic to the scene, constructing a realistic-looking volcano as a centerpiece. Kids will find a play area, and there also are two water slides, a man-made reef and a lazy river. It would be easy to spend days appreciating the artistry of it all.

During peak swimming hours, expect the pool complex to be busy. It's not unusual to find the four hot tubs also crowded with guests. However, the whirlpool experience here is second-to-none as two of the hot tubs are infinity models that overlook the beach.

Throughout the day, beloved Disney characters stroll through the pool area, taking photos with fans and leading games and activities. If you want to avoid the bustle, retreat to the quiet pool while the kids play with Goofy by the volcano.

Time to Snorkel?

These Disney timeshare resales boast Oahu's only private snorkeling lagoon. Known as Rainbow Reef, the experience provides guests with an opportunity to view amazing aquatic life without diving into the ocean. The entrance fee may be purchased by the day or for the entire length of your stay, and it includes a life vest and snorkeling gear.

If you want to have a more upscale experience, reserve one of the eight cabanas. Each one features free bottled water, a bowl of fruit, a refrigerator, a ceiling fan and a flat-screen television.

A Private Lagoon

Ko Olina was developed with four man-made lagoons. This Hawaii timeshare sits on Lagoon One, also known as the "Whale Lagoon," which it shares with the JW Marriott resort. A paved path takes guests from the villas to the lagoon. Walk a bit beyond the lagoon to find a beautiful natural beach as well.

The lagoon features extremely fine white sand that was imported from Australia. With calm and clear water, the lagoon is the ideal place to swim, even for little ones. Beach cabanas may be rented here as well as kayaks, snorkel sets and stand-up paddle boards.

There's a free assortment of boogie boards, umbrellas, beach chairs and sand toys for guests to use, and hosted activities are regularly offered. These may include toddler play parties, canoe racing, beach games and sand sculpture contests.

Fitness Center and Spa

The resort's gym is beautiful and well-appointed. Overall, it contains 2,000 square feet filled with cardio and strength training equipment from Life Fitness. A stretching area and free weights are available too, and guests may sign up for the fee-based personal or group training sessions.

When you're ready for total relaxation, head to the Laniwai Spa. Many of the treatments take advantage of natural Hawaiian ingredients such as hibiscus, plumeria and ginger to ensure a one-of-a-kind experience.

Dining Options

These Disney Aulani timeshare resales give you access to fantastic dining options. Between the two full-service restaurants and the five quick-service eateries, you'll find plenty of variety.

Traditional Hawaiian dishes are featured on the menus, and even if you order an item that's typically American or Japanese, you'll find that they are styled with island flair.

Makahiki is the casual restaurant named after the traditional Hawaiian celebration of the harvest, while Off The Hook offers up simple fare like sandwiches and appetizers. Check out the Olelo Room for signature cocktails or the Wailana Pool Bar for something cool around the pool. Grab and Go options are at the Ulu Café.

Multi-Room Accommodations

Aulani offers standard resort accommodations and timeshare villas for Disney Vacation Club owners and guests. The villas are set aside for Hawaii timeshare guests and feature simply the best appointments and style. One-, two- and three-bedroom villas are available. Each option is surprisingly spacious and includes at least one balcony.

One-bedroom villas feature a king-sized bed, a queen-sized sleeper sofa and a single pull-down bed to accommodate five guests and one infant. Two-bedroom villas typically have one king-sized bed, two queen-sized beds, a queen-sized sleeper sofa and a sleeper chair for up to nine guests and one infant.

Three-bedroom timeshare villas are the largest accommodations with room for up to a dozen guests plus one infant. Typical configurations include one king-sized bed, four queen-sized beds, one queen-sized sleeper sofa and a sleeper chair.

With full, modern kitchens, cozy dining areas and a living room where the whole family can gather, these accommodations are both thoughtful and comfortable. Tasteful décor, which features just a few whimsical touches of Disney, creates a relaxing atmosphere that is soothing and relaxed.

The beautiful bathrooms are definitely a few notches above the typical hotel bathroom and having two in a villa is the ultimate in convenience.

For those vacationers who would rather stay in a Deluxe Studio, those units are also an option and provide accommodations for the lowest amount of DVC points. Ocean, Poolside, Island and Standard views are available, with balconies, kitchenette and seating area.

Beyond the Resort

While Ko Olina could absorb your entire vacation, it's a good idea to get out and explore Oahu. In particular, most guests of Disney's Aulani Vacation Club Villas are excited to explore Honolulu. The city is effectively divided into three segments that are known as Pearl Harbor, Downtown and Waikiki.

Waikiki is without a doubt the main attraction. It's a peninsula that's covered in soft-sand beach and beauty. This relatively small area also is one of the most densely populated regions in the U.S., making it an extremely busy spot.

In Waikiki, you'll find shopping, dining, entertainment and beaches. Be certain to spend some time at the International Marketplace and the Royal Hawaiian Center. Both are popular places for gathering and finding fun things to do.

If you feel like exploring the other side of Oahu, visit the Polynesian Cultural Center, a living museum with six villages that represent distinct local cultures. An authentic luau is offered here, so make certain to get your reservations in advance.

Another legendary highlight for visitors is the Pearl Harbor Memorial, a National Historic Landmark that includes a visitor's center in addition to memorials for the ships destroyed and lives lost on December 7, 1941.
