The Big Island’s Original Sunset Lūʻau
Gather along the golden sands of ‘Anaehoʻomalu Bay for the island’s most iconic celebration — the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Sunset Lūʻau. As the sun dips below the horizon, the evening comes alive with the sounds of Hawaiian music, the rhythm of Polynesian drums, and the flavors of an island feast. Witness the unearthing of the imu (underground oven) before enjoying a lavish buffet featuring local favorites and a full open bar. Journey through the islands of Hawaiʻi, Tahiti, New Zealand, and Samoa as dancers share stories of love, legend, and adventure. End the night with a breathtaking Samoan fire-knife finale under the stars. It’s a timeless Hawaiian evening filled with aloha, laughter, and unforgettable memories on the Kohala Coast.
