Luau setting…
The Royal Lahaina Luau features two stages; one has the ocean as its backdrop, making it one of Maui’s best luau settings. Your evening features incredible views of Hawaii’s famous Kaanapali Beach! The tables are set up picnic-style, perpendicular to the stage, and sit up to twenty-four guests each. The VIP upgrade package will guarantee seating at a Stage front & center table for an up-close and “hot” experience! With Royal Lahaina VIP seating, you’ll get the best home seats!!

Your evening begins…
Your VIP Maui Luau evening begins as you are greeted with a fresh flower Lei before being seated at your pre-reserved VIP seats. Soon after getting seated, your waiters will come by to bring you a beverage of choice. They will offer Mai Tais, Blue Hawaiians, and Tropical Fruit Juices and will be happy to take your special orders. Once with your drink in hand, you will have the opportunity to visit with local artisans and get up and close to a traditional Hawaiian Imu Ceremony; as the Kalua Pua’a is unveiled from its pit, the imu, after being cooked for over nine hours, making it a very tender and exquisite dish for those who enjoy pork.

Dinner is served…
Don’t get lost in fun out there, as your VIP table will be the first one invited by your luau manager to head to the buffet tables! There you will find an array of delicious traditional Hawaiian dishes. From salads to taro bread, fish, steak, the famous Kalua Pig, exquisite desserts, and more! In Hawaii, we say, “don’t eat until you are full… eat until you are tired”, so go back as many times as you want until you can’t get up anymore! We hope you will be open to trying the Royal Lahaina Luau’s delicious traditional foods. Still, if not, you can join the “picky Keiki’s” (picky kids) buffet table and grab some delicious macaroni & cheese or chicken tenders!

Last but not least, your evening show…
The Royal Lahaina Luau features a renowned performance and some of the best and most experienced Maui luau dancers and presenters. As the sun sets, the sound of the drums fills the air, and the Royal Lahaina Luau dancers emerge from offstage with native Hawaiian, Tahitian, and Maori performances, and for the grand finale, the mesmerizing fire-knife dancer! The choreography will entertain you and tell you stories of the legends of our beautiful paradise islands.
