For A Thriving Hawai‘i PRACTICE MĀLAMA

Hawai‘i  is an incredibly special place. The natural beauty and the aloha you feel from its people affect you deeply. You feel a personal connection, and this fosters MĀLAMA — a desire to give back — whether that’s through helping to improve the environment, assisting in ways to strengthen communities, or protecting fragile ecosystems.


Mālama can also be practiced in some very simple ways when you visit the islands. Be sure to use Reef Safe sunscreen before going in the ocean, as the chemicals in some sunscreens may contribute to coral bleaching. Also, while hiking or walking on the beach, it’s important to stay on trails and pay attention to signs, as the islands are dotted with sacred sites and endangered species that can be harmed if you get too close. No matter how you wish to mālama, Marriott Bonvoy properties can provide you with information and opportunities throughout your stay.
