Kahala Beach is one of the most popular beaches on Oahu for weddings, proposals and events. It sits in the quiet Kahala neighborhood of Honolulu, right next to Waialae Beach Park and beside the Kahala Resort, just past Diamond Head and about 10 minutes from Waikiki.
Why Kahala
Why Couples Love Kahala Beach
Kahala Beach has soft sand, calm water, coconut palms and green beach plants right along the shore, with Koko Head along the coastline. It feels peaceful and private, yet it is close to town, so your guests can come from Waikiki in minutes.
Aloha Island Weddings has planned many weddings, proposals and vow renewals here, from simple ceremonies for two to family celebrations on the sand.

Weddings on Kahala Beach
Elena and Rafael were married on Kahala Beach with white covered chairs and turquoise sashes, a flower aisle of pink hibiscus, plumerias and orchids, a half moon of pink roses and hydrangeas between the tikis Kū and Lono, a lei ceremony, ukulele music and a dark ocean blue and orange sand ceremony.
Vow renewals

Photo shoots
Photo Shoots in Kahala
Kahala is just as beautiful for photos: curved coconut palms and calm water on the beach, and private estate houses nearby with pools, gardens and gazebos. After a photo shoot at an estate house in Kahala, Elena and Rafael walked over to Kahala Beach, about five minutes away, for more photos under the palms.
