Oao Wailea Wins Silver at the ʻAipono Awards – Mahalo for Your Support!

We are humbled and honored to share some exciting news with our Oao Wailea ‘ohana—our restaurant has been awarded Silver at the recently concluded ʻAipono Awards!

This recognition means the world to us, especially because it comes from the very people we serve—you. The ʻAipono Awards are voted on by Maui Nō Ka ʻOi Magazine readers and local diners, making this win especially meaningful. To know that our community values what we do, the flavors we create, and the experiences we strive to deliver is truly heartwarming.

From the very beginning, our mission at Oao Wailea has been to blend culinary creativity with the warmth of aloha, honoring both the local ingredients we source and the people who walk through our doors. This award reflects not just our team’s dedication, but also the love and support of every guest who has dined with us, shared their stories, and cast their vote.

We’re incredibly proud of our team—the chefs, servers, hosts, and everyone behind the scenes—who bring their passion and heart to every plate and every moment.

To our guests, friends, and community: Mahalo nui loa. We are grateful beyond words for your support and for choosing us as one of your favorite dining experiences on Maui.

We look forward to continuing this journey with you—and we’ll keep pushing to make every visit even more memorable.

With heartfelt thanks,
The Oao Wailea Team
