<\/a>The JW Marriott Ihilani is under major renovation.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n One of my favorite wedding locations located behind the JW Marriott is temporarily closed. The location is known as “Secret Beach” by many wedding companies. \u00a0I routinely called it “Anianikou” or sometimes “Lanikuhonua” as that’s what it was known by the locals. \u00a0 The main public beach access to this location was situated behind the JW Marriott. \u00a0That access point is closed due to major construction on the JW Marriott Ihilani.<\/p>\n <\/a>So close and yet so far…<\/strong><\/p>\n HOPE IS NOT OVER!<\/strong> There are definitely alternatives entrances to this location, but they are a bit challenging. \u00a0 In order to get to this location you’re going to have to skip over a few rock walls and walk a length of a sandy cove. \u00a0It’s not that bad, but in a wedding dress, it could prove to me quite challenging. \u00a0If you have elderly guest, or anyone with a walking disability, you can forget about them making it there. \u00a0 The good thing… the cove should be pretty empty given that most tourist will not know that anything exist on other side of this fence.<\/p>\n If you are want a little adventure to get to your wedding location, just let me know. \u00a0We’re game!<\/p>\n <\/a>JW Marriott will reemerge as a Four Seasons\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
