Although most people traveling to Hawaii are coming for Hawaii’s beautiful beaches and lush greenery, many people also come to explore all of the great dining, shopping, and entertainment opportunities that the island has to offer. However, of all the islands, Oahu has the most to offer because it is the most developed of the islands. One of the things Oahu is best known for is its wide variety of shopping malls that offer both designer brands and locally-crafted items. Although there are many great individual shops located throughout the island, the main shopping centers on Oahu include Ala Moana Shopping Center, Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, Ward Warehouse and Ward Center, International Market Place, DFS Galleria in Waikiki, Pearlridge Center, Kahala Mall, Windward Mall, Aloha Tower Marketplace, and Waikele Premium Outlets. Although all of these shopping centers are home to numerous stores and restaurants, Ala Moana Shopping Center is perhaps the most popular shopping center on the island.

Ala Moana Shopping Center is located in the center of Honolulu and is one of the largest open-air malls in the world. The mall is home to over 200 stores and is known for having the flagship stores for most international, national, and local retailers. Also located in the mall is the Makai Marketplace, which is one of the largest international food courts in the nation. Another major shopping center on Oahu is Pearlridge Center, which is home to over 100 stores, two food courts, and a movie theater. It is also Hawaii’s only two-phased mall connected by monorail. The Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center is another major shopping mall located in the heart of Waikiki, offering over 150 stores in its three-story complex. The mall also offers dining and entertainment opportunities and is home to many European designer boutiques.
