🌺 Luau Hale Hoaloha - Mauna Lani Resort

Celebrate the vibrant spirit of Hawaiian culture at Luau Hale Hoaloha, held at the stunning Mauna Lani resort. Nestled in the sacred grounds of Kalahuipua'a, where five of Hawaii’s most iconic mountains — Haleakala, Kohala, Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa and Hualalai — converge in lore and landscape, this unforgettable evening is a feast for all senses.

Start the night with cocktails, live Hawaiian music and traditional makahiki games, then witness the dramatic unearthing of the imu, the traditional underground oven used to cook the luau feast. As the sun sets, enjoy a delicious dinner sourced from land and sea, showcasing the bounty of the Big Island.

The celebration continues with mesmerizing hula performances, storytelling that honors Hawaii’s legends and five mountains, and an exhilarating fire-knife dance finale.
