Kahala Mall

Oʻahu


It’s not quite the Ala Moana Center, but this large east-side mall has a noteworthy mix of only-in-Hawaii shops, including Cinnamon Girl clothing boutique, Reyn Spooner and Rix Island Wear for aloha shirts, the Compleat Kitchen, and Sanrio Surprises, selling collectible, hard-to-find imported Hello Kitty toys and logo gear.
