Nominate MALA for Best of Maui 2026
The search for Maui’s favorites is officially underway, and we’d be honored to have your support!
Best of Maui 2026, hosted by The Maui News, is an opportunity for the community to recognize the local businesses and people who make Maui such a special place. From longtime local favorites to hidden gems, nominations are a chance to celebrate the restaurants, businesses, and individuals who help make our island community unique. This year, MALA is proud to be included in the Dining Experience and Food & Drink categories, and we’d love for you to consider nominating us!
At MALA, we believe a great dining experience is about more than what’s on the plate. It’s about enjoying fresh, flavorful food while taking in the ocean, watching the waves roll in, spotting honu offshore, sharing a cocktail with friends, and creating memories around the table. Whether you’ve joined us for brunch, live music happy hour, or dinner, we’re grateful to have been part of your time on Maui.
Our team works every day to create the kind of experience that keeps guests coming back - from our kitchen and bar to the hosts, servers, and everyone behind the scenes who helps make each visit special. Being part of these categories is an honor, and your nomination would mean so much to our entire MALA team. Nominations are open through September 18th, 2026.
If MALA has been one of your favorite places to dine on Maui, take a moment to share some aloha and nominate us in the Dining Experience and Food & Drink categories for Best of Maui 2026. Mahalo for supporting MALA, our team, and our Lahaina community. We’re grateful for every visit, every shared meal, and every memory you’ve made with us. Your support continues to inspire us to do what we love and serve our community with aloha.
