Ko Olina Resort, Resort and residential complex in western Oahu, US.
Ko Olina is a large coastal resort and residential complex on western Oahu, stretching across both natural and developed land. The place has several hotels, man-made lagoons with sand beaches, and various residential communities alongside each other.
