Royal Lahaina Luau (Myths of Maui)
Reopening December 17, 2023.
Experience the magic at this cultural celebration of the dance, music and traditional festivities of the Hawaiian and Polynesian people. Each evening, as spectacular sunsets color the sky over blue seas and highlight the silhouettes of Molokai and Lanai in the background, Old Hawaii beckons at the best oceanfront location in Maui. Royal Lahaina Luau invites you to join their ohana (family) where you will enjoy an evening of traditional Hawaiian celebrations.
Upon arrival at the award-winning Royal Lahaina Luau, you will be welcomed with a lei greeting and be offered a Mai Tai as the dazzling sunset unfolds before your eyes. Make sure you arrive early so you don't miss the authentic imu (underground oven) ceremony, where kalua pig, the evening's main course, is unearthed. You will then enjoy an all-you-can-eat buffet dinner and open bar throughout the night.
General Luau: Aloha shell lei greeting, dinner, open bar & luau show. Tables are pre-assigned by date of booking. Tables are ohana (family) style and can seat more than one family per table (up to 12 guests per table).
VIP Upgrade: Reserved seating area, flower lei for ladies and kukui nut lei for gentlemen, first set of tables to begin dinner service, complimentary premium drinks. Tables are first four rows closest to the stage and forward facing.
