Our Story

Authentic, local, sustainable and rooted in history: Kō reflects our beautiful island palekaiko (paradise). The expansive menu features family recipes that have been passed down for generations. Using fresh, local ingredients, Executive Chef Aris Aurelio conjures exciting, modern cuisine that tells the story of Maui’s multicultural past. Every element — the contemporary design, colors, textures, food and drink — conveys a deep respect and connection to that tradition.
