Experience the Culture: Maui Lu’aus

What Is A Lu’au?

Sunset is the perfect time for the traditional Hawaiian lu’au on the shores of Maui. Dine on local favorites: kalua pig cooked in an imu (earth oven), haupia (coconut cream) pie, and poi (Hawaiian taro pudding). Then settle down under the stars, listen to live music, and watch skilled performers sing and dance in traditional polynesian style.

Rich in History, Hawaiian Traditions

Across the island, there are various types of luaus; each offering a unique and different atmosphere. If you desire a small intimate family luau with exquisite service, the Feast at Lele on the West side might be the Maui luau for you. If you have a larger party, or are bringing the little ones, then you might find that the Ka’anapali Beach luau is the best fit with plenty of room for all. Or if you prefer the ultimate Hawaiian cultural experience and a lesson back in time, the Old Lahaina Luau would be the perfect choice . Also, for those on the Wailea and Makena side of the island, the Marriott Wailea offers their Te Au Moana Luau.

The majority of lu’aus serve a buffet style dinner, which often includes Kalua pork, local style chicken (most likely teriyaki or Korean-style), fresh caught island fish, and a plethora of side dishes and salads. Beverages usually include an open bar stocked to make typical tropical libations, as well as sodas, tea, local juices and coffee. The luaus are often hosted right by the beach, offering excellent opportunities for incredible sunset dinners.

Lu’au shows differ across each location, but most feature forms of Hawaiian song and dance, and many also feature performances that honor other Polynesian islands as well. Remember that alcoholic drinks are included in the price of the luau, so I suggest choosing one that is close to where you are staying and consider taking a taxi.
