For more than two decades, the Wailele Lū‘au has transformed Maui’s golden sunsets into living theatre. Set beside the ocean at Kā‘anapali, this intimate gathering invites guests to savor a chef-curated Hawaiian feast before journ...
Guests consistently rave about the spectacular fire dancing and overall entertainment quality, with many noting this ranks among the best luaus they've experienced across multiple Hawaiian islands. The performances blend vibrant choreography with cultural storytelling, though one visitor mentioned the pacing felt a bit slow and theatrical rather than purely traditional. The setting at the resort is gorgeous, featuring waterfalls and fire effects that create an unforgettable atmosphere, especially as the sun sets. The food earns high marks overall, with the kalua pork and surprisingly excellent poke standing out as highlights. The buffet offers generous variety, including a dedicated kids' section with familiar favorites. A few guests had mixed opinions on specific dishes or desserts, and one mentioned the lighting gets quite dark once the show begins, making it tough to see your plate if you're still eating. Service gets special praise, with server Lorraine mentioned multiple times for her attentiveness. Convenient for those staying at nearby properties, this luau delivers a memorable evening of entertainment, culture, and hospitality that keeps families and couples coming back.
I’ve never been to a Luau before my Husband went all out and took me here for my first and it was for our honeymoon! We could never afford to stay at this Stunning resort but maybe someday… but I was so thankful for him and that he got us Premium seating for this Incredible luau. I was blown away first by the welcoming hospitality we got coming in. The yummy drinks and fantastic atmosphere then as the evening went on my heart was fills when the MC opened up in prayer for us and a blessing over the food that blessed my heart so much! Thank you! Then we ended up going first for the extraordinary food line which best meal of my life no joke WOW is all I can say!!!! I need to make these foods cause they hit so amazing together and then the show, what can I say but I was blown away first at the beautiful talented dancers but also with the music it was a memorable night the best part was dancing with the beautiful wedding song with my new husband we hadn’t had a reception yet so I hadn’t had a first dance with him and it was the most beautiful moment of my life! I’ll never forget this night as long as I live. It was absolutely breathtaking watching the sunset meeting new people from all around the world and experiencing something you don’t see every day was just outstanding. The staff serving were so kind Sweet and I was so thankful to have this experience. I will never go to any other luau and I will only bring people to this one because it is absolutely hands-down the most amazing thank you to all who participated served, helped and danced and saying you gave me a night. I’ll never forget.W
