Frequently Asked Questions
The VIP tier includes priority placement at the venue’s best private tables, the complete three-course family-style Hawaiian dinner, a hosted open bar with cocktails, beer, wine, and soft drinks, interactive hula lessons, and the full evening stage production overlooking Wailea Beach.
Both tiers receive the same menu, hosted bar, and show. The difference is placement: Ali’i Premium tables sit front and center with the clearest views of the stage and the ocean, while Standard tables are positioned further back in the venue. VIP pricing starts around $360 versus $300 for Standard.
The three-course family-style menu features Ahi Poke, Poi Bowl, Pipikaula, and Hawaiian sweet rolls to start, then Teriyaki Steak, Shoyu Chicken, Mahimahi, and Kalua Pig and Cabbage, finishing with Haupia, Molokai sweet potato pie, and other island desserts by the pastry chef.
Resort wear or smart casual attire suits the setting well. Evenings beside Wailea Beach can turn breezy after sunset, so a light wrap or jacket is worth packing, along with a valid photo ID if you plan to enjoy the hosted bar.
The Lu’au at Grand Wailea manages its own cancellation terms, so guests should confirm current conditions with the venue directly before booking. Prices and availability can change without notice, and all bookings carry Hawaii State Tax of 4.712% plus a 24% service charge.
