The Lu’au at Grand Wailea – Standard Seating

Held on the grounds of the Grand Wailea Resort in Wailea-Makena on Maui’s sunny south shore, The Lu’au at Grand Wailea pairs one of the island’s most beautiful beachfront settings with a show that earned a spot on USA Today’s 10Best list for Best Luau in Hawaii in 2025. Standard Seating means your group is never squeezed onto a shared banquet table. Every party receives its own private table with a clear view of Wailea Beach, so the sunset, the stage, and the feast all belong to you.

The evening opens with a warm aloha welcome before interactive hula lessons invite guests of every age onto the lawn to learn the basics of Hawaii’s storytelling dance. As dusk settles over the coastline, the stage lights up with a theatrical journey through Maui’s origin stories, from the demigod Maui snaring the sun to Pele shaping the islands with volcanic fire, performed with live music, chant, and dance.

Dinner arrives in three family-style courses delivered straight to your table. Starters include Ahi Poke, a traditional Poi Bowl, Ulu Mac Salad, Pipikaula dried beef salad, mixed greens, and Hawaiian sweet rolls with Lilikoi butter. Mains feature Teriyaki Steak, Shoyu Chicken, fresh Mahimahi, Kalua Pig and Cabbage, Maui Chow Fun Noodles, rice, and Molokai sweet potatoes. Dessert brings Haupia, chocolate brownies, coconut macaroons, and Molokai sweet potato pie from the resort’s pastry team, with Hawaiian Paradise Coffee on request. The hosted bar pours Mai Tais, Pina Coladas, mixed drinks, beer, wine, and soft drinks all evening. Bookings require a minimum of 2 guests, groups above 8 should contact the venue, and prices are subject to Hawaii State Tax of 4.712% plus a 24% service charge.
