Come and join Royal Lahaina Luau in a one-of-a-kind feast and festivity, bringing you an island vibe like the ancient times through traditional music, dance, colorful costumes, world-class performances, and delicious cuisine!

Held right at the majestic Kaanapali Beach, Royal Lahaina Luau takes you on a Polynesian journey with performances showcasing authentic cultures of Hawaii, Tahiti, New Zealand, and Samoa. With several Hawaiian activities to try, tropical cocktails to drink, and mouthwatering traditional foods to taste, you will surely feel the genuine Aloha spirit.

Luaus generally don’t require a strict dress code. The most important thing is you feel comfortable with what you wear during the event. But if you want to get into a real Aloha spirit, you can dress up a bit and wear your most authentic and comfy Aloha outfit! For women, floral skirts with flip-flops, sandals, or slippers are good. As for men, Hawaiian-designed polo shirts and shorts with slippers or sandals are common. 

As soon as you get there, their friendly performers in their vibrant costumes will welcome you with a warm shell lei greeting. After which, you can enjoy your complimentary cocktail right away while you watch the sun dips down the horizon, bringing out incomparable orange, yellow, red, and purple hues. If you feel like being active, you can participate in the lei making or hula lessons. You can even get a temporary tattoo. Did you know that tattooing has been a part of the Polynesian culture? Ancient Polynesians were said to use tattoos on their bodies to express their identity and personality. Often, it would indicate their hierarchical status in the society, genealogy, and sexual maturity.

You will also witness one of the event’s highlights – the uncovering of the kalua pig from the underground oven or imu. As you know, kalua pork is the central element and main dish in almost all luaus. As delicious as it is, preparing it is no easy task. In ancient times during festivities, Polynesian men dug a 2 to 4-foot deep round pit with sloping sides or lua early in the morning. Kindling material is placed at the bottom of the hole, then stones on top of the wood. When the kindling is lit, the stones begin to heat. After 2-3 hours of heating, it is now ready to use for cooking the pig.

When it’s time for dinner, the roasted pork is shredded and will be served with other delightful dishes, including salads, noodles, seafood, beef, chicken, and desserts. You can also order extra cocktails for a more lively evening mood. When all the plates are clean, sit back, relax and brace yourself for a performance like no other! Be entertained with a Hawaiian hula dance, alluring Tahitian dance, and most especially, a thrilling fire-knife Samoan dance show. Before going home, you can have an opportunity to take pictures with their multi-talented performers for a beautiful souvenir.
