Sustainability
Rooted in Hawaiian Culinary Tradition
The Royal Hawaiian luau includes an incredible variety of local cuisine, served to guests at this perfect beachfront location. The resort proudly features local ingredients in both savory and sweet dishes, creating an eco-friendly luau in Waikiki Honolulu.
The first plate begins with poi, a staple of Hawaiian celebrations for centuries. Poi comes from the taro plant, which early settlers brought to Hawaii and frequently consumed. Cooks mash the cooked plant material with water and allow it to ferment to varying degrees, adjusting the taste as desired.
Signature Kalua Pig is roasted for hours in natural ti leaves, grown across the islands and on the Royal Hawaiian grounds.
Dessert features local-style Haupia pudding, a popular coconut milk-based treat.

“The 'Aha'aina Luau tells the story of The Royal Hawaiian's heritage through song, dance and a lavish feast. The twice-weekly Luau allows us to showcase locally sourced products from our partnerships with farmers, suppliers and purveyors.”
