Glam-B-Q includes a well-appointed, teepee-style tent illuminated with string lights and outfitted with blankets, pillows and low tables ideal for casual, picnic-style dining.

KAANAPALI – Fall is right around the corner, but in Maui the sun is not setting on a popular summer pastime: barbecuing. Beginning Sept. 5, The Westin Kaanapali Ocean Resort Villas will introduce Glam-B-Q, a private dining experience designed to celebrate year-round outdoor cooking.

This blend of glamour and barbecuing features an exclusive hideaway location just off North Kaanapali Beach with stunning ocean and sunset views.

“Barbecuing represents a sense of ‘ohana and is an important part of our local island culture,” said Brandon Maeda, complex director of food and beverage at The Westin Kaanapali Ocean Resort Villas.

“Glam-B-Q is a fun twist on this familiar activity and offers a unique, year-round experience with a touch of playful luxury.”

Glam-B-Q features a private outdoor dinner setting at the resort’s Kai Lani Lawn adjacent to North Kaanapali Beach. A grill cook and server will prepare and present a standard cookout menu of classic barbecue favorites, such as ribeye steaks, lobster tails, corn on the cob, baked potatoes and s’mores, along with local picks such as island poke.

With this reservation, the private space can be enjoyed from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. Glam-B-Q is $3,000 inclusive for up to six guests. Each additional guest is $100, with a maximum occupancy of 14 guests total. The menu can be customized for an additional price.

Beer, wine and cocktails are also available on consumption and are not included in the base price. Reservations for Glam-B-Q are subject to availability. Booking at least one week in advance is strongly recommended. For more information, or to make reservations, visit westinkaanapali .com/private-dining or contact the events manager at (808) 662-2630.
