Royal Lahaina Resort & Bungalows Hotel Lobby
A Riviera Holiday on Maui
Festive Seasons Comes to Life at Royal Lahaina Resort & Bungalows
This holiday season, Royal Lahaina Resort & Bungalows transforms Maui’s west shore into A Riviera Holiday – a celebration where island traditions meet festive joy. Guests of all ages are invited to experience food, music, relaxation and togetherness along the golden sands of Kā‘anapali Beach.
From the moment guests arrive, twinkling palms and tropical wreaths set the tone. Families can visit Mr. and Mrs. Claus at The Branches, decorate cookies in the lobby or sip hot cocoa while the ocean breeze drifts in. On Christmas morning, warm banana bread arrives at each room – a simple touch of aloha that feels like home.
Royal Lahaina’s celebration also reflects the resilience and spirit of West Maui – a community rebuilding with heart, welcoming travelers back to enjoy its beaches, art and aloha.
Why Celebrate the Holidays at Royal Lahaina?
Because the warmth of Maui and the spirit of aloha create the perfect setting for connection.
Set on Kā‘anapali Beach on Maui’s west side, Royal Lahaina blends the ease of beachfront living with holiday elegance. Guests can balance celebration with rest – unwinding at The Spa at Royal Lahaina, those seeking relaxation can indulge in limited-time spa treatments such as the Holiday Spice Foot Soak with cloves and cinnamon or the Peppermint Pamper Massage with cooling oils – each designed to soothe body and spirit.
Seasonal Dining & Holiday Flavors
At Lahaina Noon, the resort’s open-air restaurant, special buffets on Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve feature island-inspired dishes like Herb-Crusted Turkey, Coffee-Crusted Prime Rib and Pumpkin Crème Brûlée, enjoying oceanfront feasts, or simply watching the sunset with a festive drink in hand.
On New Year’s Day, the restaurant’s Build-Your-Own Bloody Mary Bar helps guests toast to 2026 with ocean views and tropical sunshine.
Across the resort, mixologists craft limited-edition cocktails including:
- Maui Cocoquito – a tropical take on the classic coquito, blending coconut milk, Kōloa Spiced Rum and Licor 43
- Santa’s Sun Burn – a bright mix of tequila, ginger liqueur, pomegranate and lime topped with ginger beer
- Make your own at home (or on Maui) with the recipes!
Culinary Highlights Across the Resort
Beyond holiday feasts, Royal Lahaina Resort & Bungalows introduces new menus across both dining outlets. At Lahaina Noon, guests can enjoy signature entrées such as filet mignon, ahi tataki and steak poke. At Pineapple Moon Beach Bar, a refreshed all-day poolside menu includes pineapple chicken wings, BBQ pork sliders and chicken Caesar wraps.
Every dish showcases local ingredients and Maui’s island-to-table spirit.
Island Traditions and Aloha Spirit
The holidays in Hawai‘i blend island customs and community celebration. On Maui, carolers sing in Hawaiian and English, surfboards replace sleighs and island-style décor glows from Lahaina to Wailuku. Guests at Royal Lahaina can experience this spirit firsthand – meet Mr. & Mrs. Claus under the 100-foot canopy of The Branches at the heart of the resort. Or they can join a festive luau serving up Kalua Turkey that share the warmth of aloha long after the last sunset of the year.
