Which one is the best luau in Maui?

Maui's luau scene changed significantly after the 2023 Lahaina fire. Old Lahaina Luau and Feast at Lele — long considered Maui's top two luaus — both closed following the destruction of Lahaina town. The current leading options are Maui Nui Luau at the Marriott in Kaanapali, Grand Hyatt's Drums of the Pacific in Wailea, and Te Au Moana at the Wailea Beach Resort. These range from $130–200 per adult with Polynesian performances, Hawaiian buffets, and open bars. Of these, Drums of the Pacific receives the strongest reviews for production quality and beachfront setting. Te Au Moana is praised for its authentic feel and smaller crowd size. Book any Maui luau well in advance — capacity is limited post-Lahaina rebuilding.
