At Napili Point Resort Rentals, we believe the most memorable moments in Maui are often the simplest ones: sunset skies, the sound of the ocean, and music that brings people together. That spirit comes to life during our special weekly gathering, Poʻaha Mele, where you are invited to slow down and enjoy an evening of live ukulele music by the pool. Experience authentic island hospitality in a relaxed and welcoming setting.
The Heart of Hawaiian Music: The ʻUkulele
No Hawaiian gathering would be complete without the ʻukulele. Though often associated with Hawaiʻi, the instrument actually traces its roots back to Portuguese immigrants who brought small stringed instruments to the islands in the late 1800s. Local craftsmen adapted the design, and the ʻukulele quickly became a beloved part of Hawaiian culture.
Its name roughly translates to “jumping flea,” a playful nod to the movement of a musician’s fingers across the strings. Over time, the ʻukulele became a symbol of aloha, used to tell stories, accompany hula, and bring people together through music. Today, it remains one of the most recognizable and cherished sounds of the islands.
A Signature Napili Point Experience
Poʻaha Mele reflects the easygoing, community-centered atmosphere that makes Napili Point Resort feel like a home away from home. There’s no rush, no schedule to keep, just the gentle rhythm of music, the ocean breeze, and the joy of being present. Guests often find that these evenings become a highlight of their stay.
Join Us Poolside
When you stay at Napili Point, you’re invited to be part of moments like this. Poʻaha Mele is just one of the many ways we bring a little extra aloha to your stay.
So grab a seat by the pool, listen for the first notes of the ʻukulele, and let the music carry you into a perfect Maui evening.
