Even if you’ve never been to Turtle Bay, chances are you’ve seen it on the big screen in theatres and at home on TV. For decades, blockbuster films featuring Hollywood’s biggest names have been filmed here—more than 150 movie and television relationships from Pirates of the Caribbean and The Hunger Games to Hawaii Five-O and Magnum P.I. And yes, this is the same The Ritz Carlton O’ahu, Turtle Bay featured by name in Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Since the early days when Del Webb (Las Vegas impresario and former owner of the New York Yankees) opened the The Ritz Carlton O’ahu, Turtle Bay at Kuilima in May 1972, with pal Bob Hope as the headliner, Turtle Bay has always attracted Hollywood’s A-List.

Out of privacy and safety concerns for our guests and employees, The Ritz Carlton O’ahu, Turtle Bay prohibits the use of drones, personal or commercial, without the prior written authorization from resort management. This prohibition includes drones used for filming or videotaping, as well as any drone use by media or journalists operating above or within the resort boundaries. Any violation of this policy may involve confiscation of any equipment and may subject violators to any damages, including but not limited to, damages for violations of privacy and/or physical or personal injuries, or regulatory fines and legal fees.
