Fairmont Kea Lani Launches Oceanfront Culinary Concept

A new sea-to-table dining experience comes to the shores of Wailea

Wailea (Maui), Hawaii – July 14, 2023 – Fairmont Kea Lani, Maui’s only all-suite and villa luxury resort, brings an elevated dinner experience to their current oceanfront restaurant, AMA Bar & Grill.

AMA proudly draws inspiration from the traditional Hawaiian outrigger canoe and the lifestyle it embodies: quality time with ‘ohana, exploration and innovation through the sea, and the nourishment of our bodies with our ocean’s freshest seafood.

Each evening, as the sun dips into the Pacific, AMA Bar & Grill will transform from a relaxing poolside eatery into a captivating sea-to-table culinary experience, offering freshly caught seafood selections along with vibrant cocktails and elevated wines by the glass and bottle. From a decadent raw bar and lavish seafood platters to locally inspired plates featuring Kauaʻi spicy garlic prawns, miso-marinated cod and steamed clams with sake, shiso and Korean chili flakes, AMAʻs new dinner menu highlights the Pacific Ocean’s finest offerings – along with island-sourced veggie dishes and select chicken and steak shared plates.

“We’re thrilled to share AMA’s new ocean-inspired evening concept with our community,” expressed Tom Houston, Director of Food & Beverage at Fairmont Kea Lani.  “Our intention is to provide a relaxed atmosphere fit for unwinding with friends and family, where both resort guests and local residents can enjoy carefully crafted cocktails, thoughtful wine selections, and freshly caught, elevated fare… all while taking in spectacular views provided by this special place we are privileged to call home.”

Debuting July 14, 2023, AMA’s new evening concept serves casual elegance paired with exceptional cuisine. This comes following the recent transformation of the resort’s 413 one-bedroom suites and 37 two- and three-bedroom villas, resulting in artfully redesigned accommodations that evoke stories of the island’s rich cultural heritage and accentuate the natural beauty of Hawai‘i. AMA’s debut also marks the commencement of the second phase of the resort’s Ho’omaka Hou Transformation Project, in which Fairmont Kea Lani’s lobby will be completely reimagined, resulting in an elevated arrival experience, the creation of an expansive Hawaiian cultural center and the addition of a premier oceanfront lounge and restaurant.

AMA Bar & Grill is open daily for lunch 11:00am-4:00pm and nightly for dinner 5:00pm-8:30pm. Both the interior bar and swim-up bar are open 10:30am-8:30pm. Kama’aina discounts (25% off) are available with a valid Hawai‘i ID. Walk-ins welcome, reservations are encouraged. Book your table through OpenTable or learn more at fairmont-kea-lani.com
