At Kona Village, evenings come alive at Pūlehu Night, a weekly gathering that celebrates the island’s traditions of open-fire cooking, culinary craft, and relaxed hospitality that define Hawai‘i. As dusk settles over the Kona Coast, guests gather beneath a vast canopy of stars for an open-air feast where flame and flavor take center stage. Just steps from the shoreline, the scene is set for an immersive surf-and-turf experience rooted in the bounty of Hawai‘i Island’s land and sea. The menu moves between kiawe wood-grilled steaks, freshly prepared island fish, and vibrant poke from the raw bar, complemented by seasonal island-inspired sides, handcrafted cocktails, and desserts. Live music and hula bring rhythm and storytelling to the night as the sun fades into a glowing horizon. More than just dinner, Pūlehu Night evokes the spirit of Hawai’i’s paniolo (Hawaiian cowboy) heritage, where shared meals around open fires were part of life’s natural cadence, offering guests a communal, elemental experience shaped by place and tradition.
