This mom-and-pop grocery offers the island’s best poke — raw fish mixed with traditional seasonings such as ground kukui nuts and seaweed (from $18 a pound). If you prefer a cooked lunch, visit Tails Up Maui for a classy fish sandwich ($19) or mochiko (rice flour) fried chicken ($17).

Sea House Restaurant, Maui – Mealtime Specialties

Bordered by a rodeo arena and a polo field, Makawao is the charming headquarters of the paniolo, Hawaiian cowboys who continue to rope and ride across the island’s lush ranchlands. Komoda Store and Bakery; this beloved family-run business, which has served the community since 1916, sells out of its cream puffs and butter rolls daily. Once a busy sugar plantation hub surrounded by green cane fields, it’s now home to surfers and artists.

Quick Tips for Visiting Sea House Restaurant

"When you come to Thailand, you come to Samui, you go to Bangkok, you will visit another city or small island. So the whole country will benefit." Patrick said everyone on the island was excited about the potential economic impact of the series. "The headache ones, the difficult ones, the nice ones, the drama … although maybe not as much drama as in the show." "And then it was Walton Goggins who is in a lot of HBO series and [2015 superhero film] Ant-Man." Local restaurant owners Olive Lamlert and Patrick Moukarzel have had several visits from White Lotus cast and crew.

Loco Moco – A traditional Hawaiian breakfast featuring white rice, a house-made beef patty, a fried egg, and rich gravy. One of the top reasons to visit Maui is its delicious cuisine, with restaurants like Sea House Restaurant in Napili Bay known for their exceptional dining experiences. As a frequent Maui visitor, I’m sharing my Sea House Restaurant experience to guide future diners. The area was eventually closed to visitors in 2018 to allow it to recover from the damage caused by millions of tourists.

Special offers you won’t want to miss.

The combination of crispy macadamia nuts and tender fish is simply divine. Sea House is the main restaurant at the Napili Kai, a resort that oozes the relaxed Aloha spirit Maui is famous for. The service is friendly and efficient, and the breakfast fare is wonderful.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm and friendly smile. Maui Mango Smoothie – A creamy and vibrant smoothie made with ripe mangoes, banana, and a splash of coconut milk, blended to perfection. Kona Big Wave Golden Ale – A light and easy-drinking ale with a slight fruitiness, ideal for a hot day. Bikini Blonde Lager – A smooth and refreshing lager that’s perfect for beachside sipping. Mai Tai – A classic Hawaiian cocktail made with light and dark rums, lime juice, orgeat syrup, and a splash of orange curaçao.

People still flock to James Bond Island where The Man With The Golden Gun was filmed in the 1970s and Maya Bay is still recovering from the impacts of 2000 adventure drama The Beach. Thailand is no stranger to big film and TV productions and the big waves of tourism that often follow. "That's been the key focus for the Department of Tourism to control and communicate with the filming crew."

Despite its prime location and high-quality food, Sea House Restaurant offers reasonable prices for Maui. Their menu features a variety of dishes to suit different budgets, making it accessible to all diners. The portion sizes are also generous, ensuring you get your money’s worth. Hibiscus Cooler – Gin infused with local hibiscus flowers, mixed with lemon juice, a hint of agave nectar for sweetness, and topped with sparkling water for a refreshing finish. Volcano Sunset – A vibrant tropical drink featuring layers of passion fruit, orange, and guava juices with light rum, finished with a float of dark rum to mimic a Hawaiian sunset. Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi – Local mahi mahi coated in crushed macadamia nuts and panko, served with a pineapple beurre blanc.

As you peer into the pristine bay formed by Maui’s youngest lava flow, imagine the Polynesian wayfinders sailing here centuries ago, followed by the French explorer La Pérouse in 1786. As executive chef — a position he’s held here for more than seven years — Erickson is in charge of purchasing and staff management, as well as menu planning and recipe creation. So I blink in surprise when he says, “I came to Maui for a change of pace.

While many guests on Koh Samui have no idea what's going on beyond the sign of the Four Seasons hotel, the crew have been spotted around the island. He explained that hotels were provided to the actors and film crew to stay in. "We approached the White Lotus production team and then we talked with them about trying to bring their budget costs down with potential partners," he told the ABC.

Continue to ‘Īao Valley State Monument (out-of-state visitors need reservations; $5 entrance fee, $10 parking). Paved walkways wind through a traditional lo‘i kalo (taro patch), past multiple waterfalls and up to a stunning lookout. Sea House Restaurant has a gorgeous bar that overlooks the water and makes you feel like you are drinking on the beach. Directly behind the bar, there are a few tables and high-tops for dining.

The Leonardo DiCaprio film sparked controversy due to the impact of the shoot and the influx of tourism on the once pristine sands of the bay at Koh Phi Phi Leh. Parts of the island have been gripped by a water shortage crisis, which has been blamed on drought conditions and a surge of tourist arrivals post-pandemic. While it's hoped the show will bring in more tourism dollars, some locals are worried about the possible impact of more people arriving on Koh Samui. As former hotel workers, they said they could relate to the battles depicted within the series, which features a dysfunctional hotel chain and the challenges of dealing with inhospitable guests.

They expect to see many times that figure in return in the form of visitor numbers and increased spending. She pointed to the Thai government's generous film incentive system, which she claimed added up to $US4.4 million ($6.6 million) in savings for the White Lotus project. "There are two kinds of incentives. Firstly, cash incentives with rebates and then in-kind incentives as well." If the thought of the breakfast line at Gazebo drives you crazy (it does us), take comfort in knowing that we think your best bet for breakfast in Napili is actually their neighbor, Sea House. Among them is Verna Biga, assistant manager of catering, food and beverage, who has worked at Napili Kai for thirty-two years. A venerable West Side restaurant turns fifty — with a new menu and new look.
