The Montage Kapalua Bay is introducing a new Luau to its offerings at the Beach Club at Kapalua Bay (one of my favorite locations on the island, the Beach Club is located overlooking Kapalua Bay).

Unlike most public luaus in Hawaii, The Beach Club Luau at Kapalua Bay will be an intimate affair, providing guests with a more personal and authentic Hawaiian luau experience. The up-close event will only host up to 40 people. While guests at The Beach Club Luau will still sit at communal tables, its small size will afford all guests a front row seat.

Each guest will receive coursed gourmet luau bento boxes, curated by Executive Chef Eric Faivre filled with modern luau favorites. For more information, click here.

Each month, the Realtor's Association of Maui publishes updates on the Maui real estate market.

Along with the rest of the country, Maui's real estate market has been far more active than last year during the pandemic.  The number of sales has increased dramatically across all market sectors--homes, condos and land.  The median price has increased as well, in part spurred by oceanfront home and resort sales.  We are seeing fewer condominium sales than we did in July.
