Disney has taken its first leap into the hotel industry proper with the opening of a standalone resort and spa in Hawaii.

Aulani, which opened this week in Ko Olina close to the Marriott Ko Olina, is the entertainment behemoth’s first hotel outside of its famous theme parks and is designed as an alternative family vacation experience.

On the coast of Oahu island, the resort and spa stretches across 21 acres and will eventually contain some 840 rooms split across a hotel and villas.

For decades people in search of an out-of-the-ordinary gift have been naming stars for each other, with the inclusion of a map of the sky showing exactly which star belongs to them.

Now OwnMaui.com is giving you the chance to own your piece of paradise.

Menehune Land Sales LLC is selling one square foot of land on the island of Maui in Hawaii for $9.99 each. The 83,635 square feet of land are available along the coast of Hana.

The world’s most expensive private island that we could locate is Niihau, Hawaii. The island is referred to as ‘the forbidden island’ and is Hawaii’s smallest inhabited island.

There are roughly 250 residents of the 72 square mile island who live without roads, hotels, restaurants and electricity.

The island is a native Hawaiian preserve and it is the only island in the state where the primary language is still Hawaiian.

Niihau is owned by the Robinson family of Kaua’i and is estimated to be worth $100 million USD.
