Maui Westin Wailele Polynesian Luau maori

The Westin Maui Luau (Wailele Polynesian Luau) is a unique option on Kaanapali Beach. In terms of food and entertainment, this luau fits in between the large Kaanapali hotel luaus and the small Lahaina luaus:

• Small audience size - up to about 150 vacationers, compared to some of the larger Kaanapali luaus which can have up to around 700 people.

• Each individual table seats about eight - no long rows of tables like the larger luaus.

The grand finale at the Maui Westin Wailele Polynesian Luau has five fire knife dancers.

• The four course dinner is served family style - platters of luau food are brought to your table, and each person fills their own plate from the platter on a revolving lazy susan. This is an nice contrast to standing in a buffet line at most luaus.

• The show features not one, but five Samoan fire knife dancers.

Westin Maui Luau Schedule

The Westin Maui Luau schedule is Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. They plan to add an additional day for summer.

The grounds open at 5:45pm, and the dinner starts at 6:30pm at the Aloha Pavilion. If you decide to go to this luau, you either make reservations before you get to Maui or check on availability as soon as you arrive.

Westin Maui Luau Cost & Tickets

Cost. The Westin Maui Luau cost reflects all these amenities - about $105 for adults and $75 for kids aged 5-12 (infants 4 and under are free). Add $15 per person if you want premier seating in the first two rows. Ticket price includes dinner, drinks, and the luau show.
