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.

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.
