Pride Month may be over but Pride festivals continue around the US. One of the best locations to combine queer festivities with some serious beach time is Hawaii.
Honolulu recently placed at six in a ranking of the safest US destinations for LGBTQ+ travelers in a survey conducted by MisterBnB. One of the best times to visit is for Honolulu Pride, which takes place this year from October 16-18, 2025. The actual parade is on the 18th.

The area, unsurprisingly, is packed with gorgeous hotels. Some of them are offering special Pride-related deals to help bring down costs. Check them out below.
Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach
Located in the heart of Waikiki, the Alohilani blends indoor and outdoor luxury. It offers 839 guest rooms and suites over 39 floors and two towers. Online reviews praise its location, which is perfect for the beach and many nearby restaurants. Operated by Highgate Hawaii, the hotel’s PRIDE Amplified package includes 15% off room rates, free breakfast for two, tickets to the parade, and a donation to a local LGBTQ+ nonprofit. Festivities at the resort include the Alaska x Hawaiian Airlines Rainbow Drag Brunch on Oct. 19 and easy access to the parade route.
Kaimana Beach Hotel
The Kaimana Beach Hotel is one of the best-ranked hotels in Honolulu on TripAdvisor (scoring a 4.7 average from over 700 reviews). Guests love its location and the beachside dining options at its restaurants. Its ‘Pride The Wave’ package offers 15% off your stay, daily breakfast for two, and Rainbow Tickets to join the Honolulu Pride Parade on October 18. On top of this, $10 from every booking will be donated to Hawai‘i Health & Harm Reduction Center, Wai‘anae Coast Comprehensive Health Center, or The Gregory House Foundation.
The Ambassador Hotel of Waikiki
Part of the Tapestry Collection by Hilton, this retro-meets-modern social hub is another location just steps from the parade. Online reviews praise its stylish rooms, friendly service and spaces to socialize. Although not offering any Pride-related deals, it will be hosting a Pride parade viewing party at its Waikiki Swim & Social Club. It also offers bunk suites for group stays: perfect if you’re traveling with a group of friends.
The Twin Fin Waikiki
As its name suggests, there’s something of a surfing theme to this Waikiki hotel, which has its own onsite Jamie O’Brien School of Surf. It’s also perfectly located for the beach and Pride festivities. Like the Alohilani, the Twin Fin is operated by Highgate Hawaii and offers a PRIDE Amplified package. This includes 15% off room rates, breakfast for two, a donation to a local LGBTQ+ nonprofit, and tickets to walk in the parade.
