See
Lāhainā, Hawai’i is one of the most unique places in the world. With its rich history and culture, it’s no wonder so many people call this little island paradise home. The views in Lāhainā are breathtaking—filled with swaying palm trees and spotless beaches. Lūʻau-goers can walk right up to the shore to see (and feel) the beautiful, warm ocean waves of Lāhainā. The spacious property provides room for guests to watch hula performances from comfortable seats with views of Mala Wharf in the background. Our comfortable (and distanced) seats allow you to see everything that goes on at the best lūʻau in Maui from where you are, including beautiful decorations, authentic costumes, mesmerizing hula dancing, and more as we celebrate being able to gather together.
Smell
The salty scent of an ocean breeze while relaxing under the shade of a palm tree. The intoxicating smell of a flower lei placed around your neck at the door of Old Lāhainā Lūʻau, welcoming you in to enjoy an evening of cultural enrichment. Your mouth will water from all the enticing aromas coming from the kitchen behind the scenes. With a gourmet four-course meal served restaurant-style, you can enjoy the smells of the ocean, fresh flowers, and food right from your seat at the best lūʻau in Maui.
Hear
The soothing strum of the ukulele moves you every time, whether you’re shifting into a more relaxed position or getting your groove on. Old Lāhainā Lūʻau, the most authentic lūʻau in Maui, presents guests with jammin’ music from local musicians who will play their hearts out for all to enjoy. Once the show begins, listen for the powerful beat of the pahu drum that’ll soothe your soul while it beats in time with yours. Say aloha to our hula dancers and performers that have been practicing this art form since they were keikis (children), making each performance a beautiful display showcasing these traditional dances and songs told through centuries-old stories.
Feel
As you enter the lūʻau, feel a soft, flower lei placed around your neck. With tropical weather year-round, you can slip off your “slippahs” to connect to the ‘āina and put your bare feet on the sand. Feel the warmth from your loved one’s hand as you celebrate each other on this enchanting cultural evening together. After the magical evening in paradise, leave the lūʻau feeling a deep connection to Maui and essence of aloha.
