Just outside Waikiki on Ala Moana Boulevard, Ala Moana Center is the world's largest open-air shopping center — 2.27 million square feet, more than 350 stores and 70 restaurants, and four anchor department stores: Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, Neiman Marcus, and Macy's. The luxury wing rivals any mainland flagship row, with Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci, Tiffany & Co., Hermès, and Rolex; the rest of the directory spans Apple, Uniqlo, Shirokiya/Japan Village Walk, and a dedicated Hawaiian-made retailer floor. A massive ground-floor food court (Makai Market) feeds the day-tripper crowd, while Centerstage hosts free daily hula performances. Free trolleys connect Waikiki hotels to the mall, making this the de facto serious-shopping destination on Oahu.
"It is enormous, gorgeous, and has every brand you could want — from Louis Vuitton to local-made aloha shirts. Easily a full-day stop, and the open-air design with the koi pond and live hula stage makes it feel uniquely Hawaiian."
