There are several considerations when deciding which luau to attend. Is it a family-friendly environment or best for adults? Is it an inside location or beachfront property? Is dinner served family-style or is it a buffet line? Matching your expectations with the right luau will help ensure the best experience.
The Drums of the Pacific Luau is located right on Kaanapali Beach. You enter the show area from the Kaanapali Boardwalk, with the sand and the waves visible from the luau.
Stellar ocean views and epic entertainment characterize Te Au Moana Luau. Described as one of Maui’s “higher-end” luaus, Te Au Moana is family-friendly (kids under five are welcomed free of charge), and the ultra-romantic location and excellent open bar make this luau a great choice for couples as well.
Maui’s newest luau, Huaka’i Luau, is an intimate Hawaiian celebration held in the Seascape Restaurant every Wednesday and Sunday. This luau is a bonafide family affair developed and performed by a married duo and their children.
One of the swankiest luaus on Maui is the Feast at Mokapu in Wailea. It’s held at the beautiful Andaz Maui resort, where you’ll find a gorgeous view of the sunset.
