Built on Ko Olina Beach's shores on the leeward side of the beautiful island of Oahu, Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa, is perhaps the most amazing Disney resort ever built. There is something for everyone to do and enjoy at Aulani. It is specially designed for families! The resort opened in 2011, and expanded to 467 Villas in 2013, making it the second-largest DVC resort. It also has 351 hotel rooms for "cash" guests. This massive resort is still being actively sold directly by DVC today. Buyers can also note that many resale contracts are available, with some of the most cost/point savings of any DVC resort.
