A Fusion of Flavors in an Island Paradise

Dining at Mauna Kea Beach Hotel

We know traditions, we’ve been inspiring them for generations: our indulgent Ovaltine Froth or cool Fredrico served beachside at Hau Tree; fine dining at Manta or tapas at Copper Bar; or our own, legendary Hawaiian luau. Guest of Mauna Kea Residences can sip and savor the decadent flavors from over a dozen different eateries, including:

Mauna Kea Beach Hotel

  • Manta
  • Copper Bar
  • Copper Bar Café
  • Hau Tree
  • Number 3
  • Mauna Kea Lu’au

The Westin Hapuna Beach Resort

  • Meridia – Mediterranean
  • Ikena Landing – American with a plentiful breakfast buffet
  • Naupaka Beach Grill – varied cuisine
  • Piko – deli, snacks, grab-n-go options

The Mauna Kea Resort Hawaiian Lū‘au

You remember. The background sound of surf against soulful steel guitars. Tables laden with imu-roasted kālua pig, island fish, laulau, lomi salmon, sashimi, and the freshest, sweetest pineapple, papaya, and more. Teach your Keiki the joy of finger-licking poi, dance hula to the “Hukilau” or become enchanted by the fire dance. Created for Newsweek in the 1960’s the legendary Mauna Kea Resort Hawaiian Lu‘au delightfully intermingles island culture, music, food, and family tradition.
