Luau at The Westin Maui Ka’anapali

Experience the tastes and sights of Hawaiian culture and history with the Wailele Polynesian Luau at the oceanfront Westin Maui in Ka’anapali. You’ll enjoy an all-you-can-eat feast of Hawaiian cuisine, an open bar, emceed entertainment with laugh-out-loud audience participation, and authentic performances with vibrant costumes from Hawaii, Fiji, Tahiti, New Zealand and Samoa culminating in the exciting fire-knife dance. 

The Westin Resort is conveniently located right off the main Kaanapali Beach. If you are staying at lodging on this beach, you can likely just take a short walk on the paved beach walkway. Complimentary shuttle service is available for guests at the Westin Ka’anapali Ocean Resort Villas, Westin Nanea Ocean Villas, and the Sheraton Maui Resort. Also, most hotels have a free Ka’anapali Resort Shuttle that goes to Whalers Village which is next door to the Westin Maui Resort. 

Starting with the March 17 luau, the site has been moved to an outdoor courtyard on property, and max capacity has been cut in half for a more intimate experience. There is now only one price, with premium seating for all. New photos will be added in the near future.

• Seating is assigned when bookings are confirmed, so the earlier you book, the better seats you will get.
• Our booking calendar has real-time availability, so you can book with confidence if the date is showing, even on the same day of the luau. Just make sure to finish the checkout process as soon as possible.

• Exciting fire-knife performance
• Thrilling Maori war dance
• Comical host entertains the crowd
• If staying along Ka’anapali Beach, it's likely only a stroll along the beach pathway (no need to drive)
• Servers can bring you drinks at table (no need to stand in line at bar)
• Smaller crowd and intimate setting compared to other luaus that can be 500+ people (this luau has a max of less than half that)
• Gratuity included (unlike the large Lahaina luau)

Maui Revealed Guidebook:

A luau can be a blast, and they are highly recommended. The better ones are at the higher price end, and you should book them in advance.

Westin Luau’s food is good and they have a great fire knife finale, with the most fire knife dancers on the island.

Fodor's Guidebook:

Luaus are a major attraction. You get what you pay for, and many of the best book weeks or months in advance, so reserve early. Plan your luau night early on in your trip to help you get into the Hawaiian spirit.

Moon Guidebook:

Attending a luau is like going to dinner theater. It’s a good opportunity to try a lot of local foods at once. If you really enjoy a good Broadway show, then you might enjoy a luau, and kids seem to love them.

Of the numerous luaus in Ka’anapali, the best show is at the Westin Maui. The fire dancers here are the best, and the food is above average.
