Why is Sugar Beach the cheapest Maui luau?

The Sugar Beach Sunset Luau in Kihei is the lowest priced Maui luau we list at $100 per person, and the reason is simple: the ticket is admission and entertainment only. It buys entry to the oceanfront lawn in Kihei and the live Hawaiian entertainment, with doors at 4:30 PM and the show from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Food, drinks and the lei po'o flower crown activity are all purchased separately on site, and outside food, beverages and coolers are not permitted. You also bring your own beach chair or blanket, since seating is not provided. Budget for what you plan to eat and drink before comparing this rate against a luau that bundles dinner into the ticket.

What is the cheapest Maui luau with an open bar?

The Myths of Maui Luau at Royal Lahaina Resort at $208.94 per adult is the lowest priced luau we list that includes drinks in the ticket. Complimentary tropical cocktails, beer, wine and non-alcoholic beverages are served through the evening alongside an all-you-care-to-eat buffet, the imu ceremony and a fire knife finale on the beach in Lahaina. Sugar Beach is cheaper on paper, but it is cash bar only, so it is not a like-for-like comparison.

Is the cheapest Maui luau also the best value?

Not always. Sugar Beach wins on absolute price if you eat lightly. Huaka'i Luau at $203.26 includes a Hawaiian-inspired buffet with gluten-free options. Myths of Maui at $208.94 wins on drink value, since the bar is in the ticket. For everything beyond price, read our Myths of Maui vs Huaka'i comparison. Other Maui venues such as Old Lahaina Luau, Maui Nui Luau and the Sheraton Kaanapali Sunset Luau are worth a look, but we do not sell their tickets and we do not have current published rates for them, so confirm pricing directly with each venue before you compare.

How do you save even more on a Maui luau?

Choose general admission over premium seating. The food, the bar and the show are the same at both tiers at the venues we list, so the upgrade only moves your table. Our Maui luau seating guide breaks down every price gap.
Count your drinks before you compare. A cash-bar ticket like Sugar Beach can end up close to an included-bar ticket once you order. See which Maui luaus include an open bar.
Skip promo-code searches. Read our discounts and promo codes guide before entering any code at checkout, and our roundup of Maui luau discounts that actually work for legitimate savings.

What is not included at the cheapest Maui luaus?

At Sugar Beach, the $100 ticket excludes food and drinks entirely, and seating is your own chair or blanket. At the venues with a premium tier, general admission excludes the better table placement and, at Myths of Maui, the 30 minute earlier check-in. Gratuity is optional at almost every venue.
