Going Coastal

What We Love Now

BY Krystal Kakimoto

HāLani, the beloved al fresco dining spot at the Mauna Lani resort, unveils their fresh, new menu inspired by flavors of the Mediterranean. Guests are invited to dine in their elegant yet understated dining area while colorful mezze platters, selections of tender kebabs, and wood-fired pizzas grace tables. The collaborative force behind this inspiring new menu is Yvan Mucharraz, Director of the Auberge Resort Collection’s Culinary Experiences, and Allan Nagun, Executive Chef of HāLani. Together, the two carefully crafted a menu to highlight the region's unique flavors while incorporating the abundance of locally sourced Hawaiian produce and seafood. Easily shared starters, such as the Seared Halloumi served with arrabbiata sauce and pistachio pesto, transition to entrees bursting with layers of flavors. A diverse selection of Mediterranean wines and local Hawaiʻi beers, cocktails with a spin on Mediterranean classics, and zero-proof drinks are available. Guests can also enjoy exciting culinary activations like bi-weekly Coastal Flatbread and Paella Nights and intimate masterclasses like the Secrets Behind the Perfect Branzino. Offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the team of HāLani welcomes guests to dine with them and relish in this new era of culinary excellence.
