KAANAPALI, MAUI – [August 30, 2024] Royal Lahaina Resort & Bungalows, one of Maui’s first resorts and a historically celebrated retreat for royalty, is thrilled to announce its reopening and exciting new developments as it welcomes guest to rediscover the wonders of Maui. The 27-acre oceanfront resort reopens its doors with the debut of two new culinary venues: Lahaina Noon, a vibrant oceanfront restaurant, and Pineapple Moon, a relaxed poolside bar. These offerings, conceptualized by TableOne Hospitality under the direction of renowned restaurateur Patric Yumul, promise to elevate the culinary landscape of Kaanapali Beach.
Following a 10-month period dedicated to supporting Lahaina residents affected by the 2023 wildfires, Royal Lahaina Resort & Bungalows is once again open, welcoming guests to rediscover the wonders of Ka’anapali. Beyond its new restaurant and bar, the resort is home to 333 guest rooms, 127 newly enhanced bungalows, two oceanfront pools and a range of wellness amenities and cultural activities – all paired with renewed hope for a prosperous Lahaina full of new beginnings.
“There is something so magical about Maui. It was the place where I kicked off my career with Michael (Mina) and it has always held a special place in my heart. The TableOne team and I are incredibly honored and excited to be able to be part of the next chapter of Royal Lahaina Resort & Bungalows in bringing both Lahaina Noon and Pineapple Moon to life in a commitment to serve the community and visitors with grace and aloha,” said Patric Yumul, CEO of TableOne Hospitality.
Lahaina Noon captures the essence of Maui’s vibrant culture and natural beauty. The oceanfront restaurant offers breakfast, lunch, happy hour and dinner with unobstructed views of world-famous Ka’anapali Beach and the silhouettes of Lanai and Molokai a mere eight miles away. The menu, a celebration of Maui’s rich agricultural bounty, presents a refined dining experience artfully crafted to delight the senses. Each plate reflects a commitment to purveyors and artisans with a shared pursuit of sustainability and excellence. The name Lahaina Noon pays homage to a natural phenomenon where the sun sits directly overhead, casting no shadow — a symbol of perfect harmony between earth and sky. This sense of balance is echoed in the restaurant’s philosophy of delivering nourishment and joy through its curated culinary offerings. With its exceptional cuisine, breathtaking views, and warm aloha spirit, Lahaina Noon promises a dining experience that is as unforgettable as the magic of Maui.
Pineapple Moon, a relaxed poolside counterpart to Lahaina Noon, invites guests to unwind in an oceanfront cocktail paradise. This breezy, open-air venue is a tribute to enchanting nights when the moonlight glows just as sweetly as the island’s pineapples. Pineapple Moon offers a vibrant, social atmosphere with canary-yellow cabanas, swaying palms and expansive oceanfront views. Signature craft cocktails and island-inspired bites make this the ultimate spot for sun-soaked relaxation.
As part of the resort’s ongoing commitment to excellence, Royal Lahaina Resort & Bungalows is unveiling significant enhancements across its property. The resort’s 127 private bungalows, nestled amid tropical gardens, have been meticulously updated with elevated comforts and mid-century-inspired décor, offering serene views of the ocean, mountains, or the adjacent golf course. The refreshed lobby and pool areas further elevate the guest experience, ensuring a seamless blend of luxury and relaxation.
The resort, celebrated for its spectacular Myths of Maui nightly Luau, is currently expanding its wedding and event spaces to include oceanfront wedding suites, complete with dedicated concierge services and custom amenities, offering couples an idyllic setting to prepare for their special day. Additionally, its Alana Spa is set to debut a new oceanfront wellness oasis including six private suites and an enhanced treatment menu featuring massages, manicures, pedicures, LED facials, CBD salt-soaks and a refreshment bar for serene and rejuvenating relaxation.
Dinner is set to debut its first service on Tuesday, September 3, 2024. Walk-ins are welcome, reservations are available on www.lahainanoonhi.com, and a royal valet service is complimentary for the first three hours. Discover the culinary oasis of @lahainanoonhawaii at @royallahainaresort.
