The Maui Nui Luau at the Sheraton Maui Resort offers an immersive experience of Hawaiian culture, cuisine, and entertainment against a breathtaking backdrop. As the sun sets over the adjacent Kaanapali Beach, with evening cruises passing by and the offshore island of Lanai in the distance, the festivities commence with a ceremonial conch blowing, torch lighting, and a daring ocean dive from the prominent lava outcrop known as Black Rock.
Live music sets a festive atmosphere, where guests can mingle with the welcoming staff while creating flower bracelets, receiving temporary Polynesian tattoos, and watching cultural demonstrations on stage. The abundant buffet dinner features traditional and contemporary local dishes, including ahi poke (raw tuna), wild fern salad, slow-roasted Kalua pork, island fish, and guava BBQ chicken. There is also an open bar, and local sweets for dessert.
The entertainment portion takes guests on a captivating journey through Hawaii's past and present, showcasing enchanting songs and dances from various Pacific Island cultures. The high-energy Samoan fire knife dance is often considered a highlight of the evening's performances. Audience participation in learning the hula also provides lasting memories.
