Wailele Polynesian Luau is held outdoors at the Valley Isle Terrace at the Westin Maui Resort. Surrounded by tropical foliage, this Maui luau features a delicious buffet dinner, tropical drinks and top-notch Polynesian entertainment.
First, the luau show tells the story of courageous Polynesian explorers as they ventured across the Pacific and discovered the Hawaiian Islands. These stories and legends are shared through traditional Polynesian performances that include graceful hula, chanting, drums and the heart-stopping finale of the five-member fire-knife dance. In addition, the vibrant Polynesian costumes, Hawaiian songs and authentic dances from Samoa, New Zealand, Tahiti and Hawaii add color and energy to the evening.
The all-you-care-to-eat luau buffet features traditional selections for an authentic island-style experience. Also, this luau includes a free flow of drinks throughout the evening, including Mai Tais, tropical cocktails, local beers, sodas and fruit juices. Overall, Wailele Polynesian Luau is a great choice for guests who want a resort luau experience in Kaanapali with dinner, drinks and live Polynesian entertainment.
