Luau Kalamaku

Please note there are multiple Marriott Resorts on Kauai.  For guests staying at the Kauai Marriott Resort and Beach Club, the luau is closer to the resort than any pick up location offered!

Conveniently located just outside of Lihue on the tropical grounds of the historic Kilohana Plantation, the Luau Kalamaku is truly an unforgettable experience. This traditional Hawaiian luau begins with arts and crafts demonstrations, island games and the imu ceremony, followed by a delicious buffet dinner. After dinner, sit back and watch a spectacular Polynesian revue that features twice as many dancers and entertainers than any other luau on Kauai! It was recently named “Best Luau Show” by Lonely Planet.

Luau Package: The Luau Kalamaku Hawaiian luau package includes standard seating.

Gold Luau: Luau Kalamaku's exclusive Gold Package includes premium seating, so you can experience our theatrical show so close to the stage that you can feel the heat from our famous fire dancers!
