The best luau in Ka'anapali
Four resorts on Ka'anapali Beach run luaus within a short walk of each other. They share a format but not a setting, a menu or a refund policy. Here is how they compare.
Side by side
| Luau | Resort | Meal | Rating | From | Refunds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maui Nui | Sheraton, Black Rock | Buffet, drinks 21+ | 4.4 (1,765) | $218 | Free to 24 h |
| Myths of Maui | Royal Lahaina | Buffet + keiki buffet | 4.0 (1,261) | $211 | Free to 24 h |
| Wailele | Westin | Buffet, 8 entrees | 4.3 (253) | $219 | Non-refundable |
| Drums of the Pacific | Hyatt Regency | Buffet, open bar | 3.6 (103) | $211 | Free to 24 h |
Our pick, and when to choose another
For most visitors the Maui Nui Luau at Black Rock is the one: the lawn looks straight at Pu'u Keka'a, where a diver lights the torches and leaps at sunset, and it is the most booked and best rated of the four. Families with young children should look at Myths of Maui for its keiki buffet and storytelling show. The Wailele Luau has the biggest buffet but a non-refundable ticket, and Drums of the Pacific is mainly for Hyatt guests.
If you are staying in South Maui
Do not drive an hour to Ka'anapali: Te Au Moana at the Wailea Beach Marriott ($225, 4.6 from 1,433) serves its meal at the table and is Maui's best-rated large luau. See luau prices for the full ladder.
