Grand Wailea Lūʻau
Enjoy a culturally rich experience at the Grand Wailea Lūʻau first with a Hawaiʻian lei greeting. Taking place in a refreshing outdoor lawn setting, you will first experience an imu ceremony which is a traditional Hawaiʻian custom of cooking in an underground oven.
If you want to learn about the art of Hula, we have lessons that you are welcome to take part in! Once the lūʻu buffet opens at 6 pm, your appetite will be exceedingly satisfied with island cuisine from Lomi Lomi Salmon, Kalua pig, Fresh poi, and plenty more! As you get comfortable, the show will then begin at 7 pm where you will be captivated by the entertainment of traditional hula and chant entailing the ancient discovery of Honua’ula, Maui.
You are greeted with shell leis and welcomed with fresh mai tais or fruit punch upon arrival, which are served all evening long, as well as an open bar featuring all your favorite mixed cocktails.

Grand Wailea Lūʻau Features
The Story of Honau’ula
The story of Honau’ula reaches back to a time long ago when voyagers discovered this humble island home of which we call Maui, specifically this area of Honua’ula. Along with these voyagers were the Hawaiʻian gods and goddesses who watched over and shaped the land for it to be a sufficient settling place for the Hawaiʻian people. These stories and legends are showcased through traditional hula and chant by gracious Hawaiʻian dancers.
Watch an Imu Ceremony
An imu is an incredible underground oven that uses hot coals, stones, and layers of leaves and cloth to steam food, especially the mouthwatering shredded kalua pork - a must-have at any luau.
This ceremony typically kicks off a lūʻau just before dinner is served. It involves unveiling the pit oven by removing the layers of cloth and leaves, revealing the perfectly cooked pork. The pork is then presented to the audience before being taken to the kitchen to be finely shredded.
Something for Everyone
You will enjoy this buffet-style feast where you can choose from traditional foods like poi and Kalua pork, or maybe you’ll want to sample some Poke or Pipikalua. We even have familiar foods for the keiki (children) to enjoy like Mac Salad, fresh fruit, and chicken. You might be surprised at some of the new things they’ll want to try
