Hilton Hawaiian Village Resumes the Waikiki Starlight Luau, Now on the Beachfront Great Lawn

Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort  is proud to announce the return of its Waikiki Starlight Luau. The luau will now take place on the beachfront Great Lawn at the resort and will be offered every Friday, beginning March 5.

“We’re very pleased to start our luau again, which has become a memorable part of many vacations at Hilton Hawaiian Village,” said Jeffrey Yedlin, hotel manager of the resort. “Our Waikiki Starlight Luau performers with Tihati Productions and our Team Members are excited about this reopening. The new location on the Great Lawn makes it Waikiki’s only outdoor luau, which provides fresh air, ample room for social distancing, and is one of our most beautiful beachfront locations at the resort.”

New procedures at the Waikiki Starlight Luau will prioritize a safe experience for all, and guests are free to participate as much or as little as they like. Attendees will enjoy tableside activities like lei making and other Hawaiian crafts. Just before the show, a socially-distanced group hula lesson will also be held. All guests are treated to a feast of Hawaii favorites crafted from island ingredients. 

The Waikiki Starlight Luau is protected by industry-leading  Hilton CleanStay  standards, and additional protocols have been put in place to ensure a safe experience. The luau now includes a plated dinner served directly to the table instead of a buffet. Social distancing has been provided in the seating layout ensuring ample space between individuals and groups. All guests must wear facemasks for the duration of the experience, except when eating or drinking at their designated seat. 

The Waikiki Starlight Luau takes guests on an exhilarating voyage across the South Seas in celebration of Polynesian music and dance. From the mesmerizing Otea of Tahiti to the graceful Hawaiian hula, to the rhythmic Maori dances of New Zealand, the show embraces the audience from its start to its exciting climax; a nine-man, Samoan fire-knife dance.
