The Westin Resort & Spa Polynesian Wailele Luau
The Westin Resort and Spa Polynesian Wailele Luau presents an eclectic and exhilarating Polynesian performance. The performance includes a delicious dinner and a heart-stopping fire knife dance finale.
The Wailele Luau showcases colorful costumes, traditional and authentic dances and songs. This Hawaiian luau is an authentic Polynesian revue. It includes song and dance from Hawaii, Samoa, New Zealand and Tahiti. Guests will embark on an exciting and vibrant journey to the Polynesian Islands where dance was considered not just as a form of entertainment, but as a means of telling stories. The Wailele Luau boasts Maui's only five member fire knife dance performance. One of the members, Tavita, is a 3rd generation fire knife dancer. See spell-binding Fiji and Maori performances with the choreography and dance moves carefully supervised by Fiji and Maori chiefs.
The location is a beautiful beachfront setting. Enjoy a beautiful backdrop of a spectacular sunset, lush tropical greenery, soothing sounds of waterfalls, the Pacific Ocean and the West Maui Mountains.

Enjoy an open bar of drinks and cocktails such as Mai Tai, the Westin Sunset, Blue Hawaiian, wine, beer, including Tahitian beer, fruit juice and soda.

We are starting an exciting project at the Aloha Pavilion to rejuvenate the space. With the renovations happening there will be an 8ft wall blocking off the two pods from the rest of the area. This will be limiting the space and the Luau check in location and set up will change. Starting on Thursday 12/29 we will begin lining up the Luau guests on the beach walk fronting Lokahi Point. They will check in at the surf shack desk and proceed over the bridge to enter the Luau.
During much of the renovations there will not be access to the Aloha Pavilion via the hotel lobby and Gallery walk areas, the only access will be in the back by landscaping and over the bridge from the beach walk. There is the potential that the original path will be available before the completion date (5/15/2012), we will keep you informed.
Also, all Luau Guests will be directed to the Ono's restrooms during the Luau. So please anticipate heavier use of those restrooms during Luau nights. |
