Royal Kona Luau – Luau Features
Overlooking Kailua Bay
Located on the east coast of Hawaii’s Big Island, Kailua Bay is known for its stunning turquoise waters and white sand beaches. Enjoy stunning ocean views overlooking the bay while you sip on a mai-tai or wait in line for the buffett. As the sun sets across the sky, Kailua Bay provides the backdrop for an unforgettable experience.
Polynesian Entertainment
Sit down and relax while we take you through a Hawaiian musical journey, filled with music of the South Pacific islands. This spectacular Royal Kona show includes a great number of singers, dancers, drummers, and much more. You’ll witness performances unknown to an average luau and experience a Samoan fire-knife dance finale.
The Menu
The authentic all-you-can-eat Polynesian buffet features a variety of mouthwatering Hawaiian specialties, as well as vegan and gluten free options. The menu includes local favorites such as Kalua pig, poi, lomi salmon, and haupia. The Kalua pig is cooked in an underground oven, or imu, right before your eyes. Poi is a staple food made from steamed taro root that has been mashed into a smooth paste. Lomi salmon is a fresh salad made with diced tomatoes, onions, and chunks of fresh salmon that has been cured in salt and lime juice. Haupia is a coconut pudding that is often served for dessert. These are just some of the many delicious dishes you will enjoy at the Royal Kona Luau.
