ko at the fairmont kea lani: celebrating maui’s sugarcane heritage

Fans (and soon-to-be fans) of Ko Restaurant at The Fairmont Kea Lani are in for a delightful surprise: after a multi-million-dollar renovation, the new and improved Ko is positively stunning. Nestled alongside the adult pool, away from the hustle and bustle of the Kea Lani’s lobby, Ko is both intimate and romantic. And the island-themed decor is simply breathtaking.

We all know how competitive the restaurant business is here in the Islands. Renowned chef Roy Yamaguchi has a twenty-four-year track record of operating his wildly successful signature restaurants in Hawai‘i, so you know he’s been making some shrewd moves along the way. His latest coup: relocating the Roy’s Restaurant on Maui from its modest digs in a Kahana shopping center to a sleek, chic new venue overlooking the Royal Ka‘anapali Golf Course. Very smart, indeed.
