The 2025 live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch was filmed entirely on the island of Oahu in Hawaii, not Kauai where the story is originally set. Key filming locations on Oahu include:
- Haleiwa Town on the North Shore, which served as Lilo's hometown scenes.
- Kualoa Ranch, where the Pelekai family home was built as a temporary structure.
- The Kahala Hotel & Resort, which played the fictional Hoomaluhia Resort and Spa with scenes shot in the lobby, guest rooms, and pool.
- Waikiki Beach and the iconic Diamond Head crater as scenic backdrops.
- Makaha Beach for surfing scenes.
- Other locations like Halona Blowhole and various neighborhoods along Kalaniana'ole Highway.
These locations capture the authentic beauty and culture of Oahu, contributing to the vibrant and heartfelt feel of the film.
