MORE ABOUT THE RITZ CARLTON LUAU
Tales of the Kapa Moe takes guests on a magical journey through Hawaiian mythology. The story follows young Moea, who falls into a dream-filled slumber under an enchanted blanket. Through her dreams, the rich traditions and legends of Hawaii unfold through a combination of live performances. The production weaves together traditional elements like Hawaiian chanting and hula with contemporary aerial artistry, creating an experience that respects cultural authenticity while pushing creative boundaries.
The culinary journey matches the show’s ambition. The evening begins at a custom poke station where guests can craft their own bowls with fresh ahi, tako, or vegetarian options. The main buffet features standout dishes including whole roasted pig prepared in a Caja China, Asian-braised beef short ribs, and North Shore-style garlic shrimp. Local sides like Molokai sweet potatoes with citrus coconut glaze complement the main dishes, while the premium open bar serves signature cocktails including the Kapalua Mai Tai.
The newly renovated Aloha Garden Pavilion provides the perfect setting for this premium experience. Unlike traditional beach luaus, this indoor venue offers protection from Kapalua’s evening weather while maintaining an elegant, open-air atmosphere. The space is designed to ensure every guest has clear views of both the stage performances and aerial acts.

So, we're staying here still for 2 more nights, and I was more or less dragged to this luau by my family. After a too long day in the sun, I just wanted to lay in a bathtub of ice! LOL. But we had a great time. So much so that when it was the kids bed time, we have a 5 and a 7 year old, I pleaded with my wife to let me stay. She's a gracious woman at her worst times, so I was able to get my way. I got to see the fire dancing and take some video to show my kids the next morning. Such a special thing to do! I'm regrettful for having ignored this experience in past trips to Hawaii. Thank you again so much!
Elegance, thoughtfulness, and true art. Thank you!
Your Tales of the Kapa Moe was a unique and upscale experience. I love how I went from not being able to pronounce or understand the name of your luau to really feeling it. I have a new appreciation for the people and land of these islands. The aerial performances added a nice modern twist to traditional displays. Great times!
The upscale setting and attentive service made this luau special. The performances were elegant, and the food was gourmet! I would go again in a heartbeat!
The Ritz luau was different than the other luau I went to. Service was impeccable. It began raining, and I was so glad that it was indoors. I guess it rains up here a lot. I'm glad I went to this one, even though it was an extra 10 minutes of driving.
