Every time I travel, I take work with me. It\u2019s the only way I can fit my love for jetsetting into my busy schedule. Luckily, I\u2019m one of those people who enjoy checking email on the beach or in coffee shops.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve ever turned a pool cabana into your office or joined a Zoom call from a hotel lobby, you\u2019ve engaged in a growing trend called \u201cbleisure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Global trends experts Jacob Stand and Miriam Rayman of The Future Laboratory coined the term \u201cbleisure\u201d in their 2009 biannual trend report to describe the popular phenomenon of combining business and leisure travel. Especially popular with millennials\u2014but also embraced by Generation X\u2014bleisure has become a way to find better work-life balance and make the most of business trips.<\/p>\n

Bleisure is becoming more popular every year. According to a 2022\u20132023 bleisure travel market forecast<\/a> conducted by Allied Market Research, the global bleisure market is projected to reach $731.4 billion by 2032\u2014up 8.9% from $315.3 billion in 2022. Business travelers are increasingly rearranging their schedules to include sightseeing, activities and downtime that allow them to connect with the places they\u2019re visiting\u2014instead of heading straight back to the office.<\/p>\n

Have a business trip to O\u02bbahu coming up?<\/strong>
Consider turning it into a \u201cbizcation\u201d by adding a few days of bleisure.<\/p>\n

Which O\u02bbahu bleisure itinerary is best for me?<\/h2>\n

If your business takes you to O\u02bbahu, chances are it will be in town\u2014either at the Hawai\u02bbi Convention Center or in downtown Honolulu. These itineraries offer bleisure suggestions near both. All recommendations are within walking distance, so you won\u2019t need to rent a car. You can book a shuttle from the airport to your hotel.<\/a><\/p>\n

#1 Bleisure Near the Convention Center<\/h2>\n

Check into the Ala Moana Hotel by Mantra<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ala Moana Hotel<\/strong> is the closest hotel to the Hawai\u02bbi Convention Center\u2014located right across the street. It\u2019s also ideal for bleisure, just a five-minute walk from the beach and next door to the world\u2019s largest open-air shopping mall. This hotel also features a beautiful pool and a fitness center with steam and sauna rooms.<\/p>\n

Dine with a view at The Signature Prime Steak & Seafood<\/strong>, located on the 36th floor of the hotel. They\u2019re famous for their happy hour, so arrive early to beat the line. After dinner, head to Pint + Jigger<\/strong> for cocktails. Owner Dave Newman is a James Beard Award-nominated mixologist known across Hawai\u02bbi and the U.S. for his hospitality, extensive selection of craft beer and whiskey, and inventive takes on classic cocktails. Try the Prime Thyme or the Talventi if you need a pick me up.<\/p>\n

Take a break at Ala Moana Beach Park<\/h3>\n

Go for a stroll, ride a bike, take a surf lesson<\/a>, swim, stand-up paddleboard<\/a> or play tennis\u2014there\u2019s plenty to do at Ala Moana Beach Park<\/strong> and its adjoining Magic Island<\/strong>. The reef-protected waters are calm for swimming, while the surf just beyond the reef is a favorite amongst local surfers. There\u2019s a large sandy beach, plus acres of grass for sunbathing and picnicking.<\/p>\n

Hungry? Head to Foodland Farms<\/strong> across the street at the base of Ala Moana Center. Grab poke, salt and vinegar chicken wings, bento boxes and more.<\/p>\n

Shop, Eat, Drink and Get a Massage at Ala Moana Center<\/h3>\n

From luxury brands to casual fashion, Ala Moana Center<\/strong> offers hundreds of stores in an open-air mall steps from the beach. For a meal with an ocean view, stop at Ruscello<\/strong> on the lanai for a salad, burger or pasta. If you\u2019re in the mood for something spicy, Sxy Szechuan<\/strong> serves chili-spiked ribs, dumplings and hot and sour soup. For dessert, I love Jejubing Dessert Cafe<\/strong> for Korean-style shave ice. Island Vintage Coffee<\/strong> and The Sunrise Shack<\/strong>, located on the lower level near the food court, serve smoothies, a\u00e7a\u00ed bowls and coffee drinks, all made with high-quality ingredients.<\/p>\n

Need a break? Massage Palace<\/strong>, also on the lower level, offers excellent foot and body massages at affordable prices. No reservation needed. (It\u2019s one of my favorite spots on the island for a massage!)<\/p>\n

Pint + Jigger, or a “beer and a shot,” is owner Dave Newman’s go-to drink. His bar, located inside The Ala Moana Hotel, combines craft beer and craft cocktails under one roof. Photo by Sarah Burchard.<\/p><\/div>\n

#2 Bleisure Downtown<\/h2>\n

Check into AC Hotel Honolulu<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If your business brings you downtown, the AC Hotel<\/strong> is one of the best accommodation options. Conveniently located between Chinatown and the Capitol District, it\u2019s within walking distance of the Hawai\u02bbi State Capitol, \u02bbIolani Palace<\/strong>, Honolulu Hale (City Hall), Hawai\u02bbi Theatre<\/strong>, Capitol Modern<\/strong> (State of Hawai\u02bbi Museum of Art), galleries, shopping, nightlife and many of Honolulu\u2019s top restaurants.<\/p>\n

The hotel is also home to The Dotted Line<\/strong>, a popular spot for power lunches and dinners, and Yours Truly<\/strong>, a basement-level speakeasy known for some of the most creative cocktails in town.<\/p>\n

Frequent Remote Work\u2013Friendly Coffee Shops<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Need a break from working in your hotel room? Chinatown offers several laptop-friendly coffee shops with free Wi-Fi. Just like at home, be respectful of the space\u2014plan to purchase at least one item per hour you spend working.<\/p>\n

Hello Again<\/strong> has cozy desks with outlets. Try the Cardamom Rose Latte or the Iced Mood Ring. P\u014c\u02bbAI by Pono Potions<\/strong> is known for house-made syrups crafted from local ingredients. Co-owner Peter Hessler, a former bartender, brings a mixologist\u2019s touch to every drink. Order the Pauahi Latte with caramelized mac nuts, and grab a slice of banana-\u02bbulu bread from \u02bbUlu & Kalo Bakery<\/strong> at the register. Like a splash of bourbon in your morning coffee? Check out Manifest<\/strong>, which transforms from caf\u00e9 by day to music venue and cocktail bar by night. It has ample seating, espresso drinks and a full bar\u2014ideal for an afternoon escape. Finally, Drip Studio \u2013 the mecca of specialty coffee in the neighborhood \u2013 is where you should go if you like a good pour over. <\/span><\/strong>Drip also offers its own brand of matcha, house-made pastries, a lunch menu and nonalcoholic coffee cocktails.<\/p>\n

Take a Shopping Break or Go on a Tour of Chinatown<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Be sure to wander through the produce, meat and fish markets in Chinatown<\/strong>. Around the intersection of Maunakea and North Hotel streets, you\u2019ll find tiny bakeries, dim sum spots, noodle shops and unique gift stores. You can also take a Chinatown Food Tour<\/a> where you’ll learn the rich culture of the neighborhood while sampling locally grown fruit, poke, dumplings, manapua and more.<\/p>\n

For hand-printed aloha shirts, visit Hawaiian-owned Sig on Smith<\/strong> (open Fridays only) or Roberta Oaks<\/strong>. Plant and jewelry lovers should stop by Ginger 13<\/strong>, while vintage seekers will enjoy Single Double<\/strong>. For artisanal leather goods, check out Hook & Hide<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Before heading off to bed. Cap the evening off with a whimsical cocktail at Yours Truly. Photo courtesy of Yours Truly.<\/p><\/div>\n

Eat + Drink<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Just a few blocks from AC Hotel, you\u2019ll find a world of great dining options. F\u00eate<\/strong> and its sister bakery Mille F\u00eate<\/strong>, co-owned by James Beard Award\u2013winning chef Robynne Mai\u02bbi, serve up classic dishes done exceptionally well in a friendly, casual setting. For inventive Italian-Asian dishes, head to Giovedi<\/strong>\u2014named Best New Restaurant this year by Honolulu Magazine and Bon App\u00e9tit (you may even see me working here on Saturday nights).<\/p>\n

Pizza Mamo<\/strong> is a must for Detroit-style pizza, and their sister restaurant, The Daley<\/strong>, located just around the corner, serves up crave-worthy smashburgers and fries. Don\u2019t skip the chocolate chip cookie for dessert.<\/p>\n

For spicy, hand-pulled biangbiang noodles and addictive chicken wings, try Youpo Noodles<\/strong>. And if you\u2019re in the mood for Thai, Sing Sing Thai Street Food<\/strong> has some of the best on island. That’s because the chef and co-owner trained in home kitchens across Thailand.<\/p>\n

Born in San Diego, Sarah spent most of her life living in San Francisco \u2013 where she was a chef and artisan business owner \u2013 before moving to O\u2019ahu in 2017. She writes about Hawai\u02bbi restaurants and ingredients, local art and how to learn more about Native Hawaiian history and the different cultures that make up Hawai\u02bbi\u2019s kama\u02bb\u0101ina. Sarah tends to hide out in coffee shops more than hitting the beach, but, other than yoga, her favorite exercise (and spiritual practice) is still swimming in the ocean.
