Which Outrigger hotel is closest to the beach

Hi everyone,

I'm visiting Hawaii for the first time and would like to stay near the beach...but on a budget. Please help.

If your priority is staying as close to Waikiki Beach as possible while keeping to a budget, several Outrigger properties in Waikiki offer easy beach access. Outrigger is well known for beachfront locations, making them a convenient choice for first-time visitors who want to maximize beach time without spending top-tier resort prices.

Outrigger properties in Waikiki closest to the beach:

  • Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort — Directly on Waikiki Beach, with private beach access, oceanfront views, and immediate proximity to restaurants and shops. This is the classic beachfront property.
  • Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort — Also right on the beach, offers similar amenities with ocean views, easy beach access, and popular for those seeking a central location on the strip.
  • Outrigger Waikiki Beachcomber — Just a block from the sand, offering affordable rates with partial ocean views and a rooftop pool. Slightly less expensive than the full beachfront resorts but still very convenient for beach access.

Budget tips:

  • Booking a room slightly off the main oceanfront (partial ocean view or city view) can save money while still keeping you within a 1–2 minute walk of the beach.
  • Check for packages or deals directly on the Outrigger website or through travel sites; sometimes last-minute or early-booking discounts can bring a beachfront room closer to your budget range.
  • Consider weekday stays versus weekends — rates may be lower during the week, allowing better beach access within a budget.

Overall, if your main goal is walking straight onto Waikiki Beach, the Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort and Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort are the top choices. If you want to save a little, Outrigger Waikiki Beachcomber is a solid compromise, still very close to the sand but at a lower price point.
