On the golf course, not the beach
Gilligan's sits at 470 Lipoa Pkwy on the Maui Nui Golf Course in Kihei — reviewers describe finding it tucked behind the clubhouse rather than fronting the water.
Kihei's dry south shore
Kihei lies on Maui's leeward side, in the rain shadow cast by Haleakalā, which is why South Maui runs noticeably drier and sunnier than the island's windward coast.
Why the resort strip is here
Fewer than 10 inches of rain fall over Kihei in a typical year, the kind of reliable, dry climate that drew the area's beach resorts, condos and golf courses in the first place.
Spotting the venue
Because the luau sits on working golf-course grounds rather than a standalone lot, give yourself a few extra minutes on your first visit to find the clubhouse and the room itself.
Staying nearby
Much of South Maui's condo and resort accommodation sits within a short drive of Kihei, so an evening at Gilligan's rarely means a long trip back afterward.
One booking, one table
Whatever part of South Maui you're staying in, reserve your whole party together — reviewers who split a group across separate bookings say they ended up at separate tables.
