Join us at Hale Kukuna, the newly opened Hawaiian cultural center at Fairmont Kea Lani, for engaging ʻukulele lessons led by our cultural team. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, you'll learn to play this iconic instrument in an inspiring setting that celebrates the music, stories, and spirit of the islands. No experience necessary—just bring your curiosity and sense of aloha.
Akin to our ʻukulele lessons, the songs that our hula lessons are set to speak to sense of place and community while sharing tales of Hawaiʻi and its people.
Join us for an in-depth history of how the Hawaiian language, once an oral language, came to be a written language over time. Through these lessons, we hope to instill the importance of the Hawaiian language and the value that it brings to the culture of Hawaiian people.
We share traditional styles of lei making that our kupuna (ancestors) used and still use to this day while incorporating the gathering process. Teaching guests how and what to gather around the grounds of the resort allows for an experience unique to each and every guest.
Join our acclaimed Artist in Residence, Dale Zarrella, for a guided walking tour of the resort grounds. As you explore, Dale shares the Maui myths and legends that inspire his stunning bronze and rare wood sculptures. End the experience with a taste of Dale’s handmade honu-shaped chocolates.
