Nestled on the Kohala Coast of Hawaiʻi’s Big Island, Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa is a luxury beachfront hotel that offers travelers a perfect blend of relaxation, culture, and adventure.
When Waikoloa Beach Marriott partnered with Saltshine Creative, the goal was clear: to elevate their digital presence with a strategy-first approach to social media management. Our work focused on capturing the property's authentic spirit through high-impact content creation, storytelling-driven posts, and an always-on engagement strategy. From curating lifestyle imagery that speaks to the luxury traveler to crafting copy that reflects the heart of the brand, our partnership has helped shape a cohesive and conversion-minded Hawaii resort marketing strategy.
This case study showcases how our Big Island social media strategy transformed Waikoloa Beach Marriott’s digital channels into a seamless extension of their guest experience—one that inspires bookings, builds loyalty, and positions the resort as a standout destination in Hawaii’s competitive hospitality landscape.
