CHEF RYAN LUCKEY - LEILANI’S ON THE BEACH 

ON KA’ANAPALI BEACH AT WHALERS VILLAGE
Our passion for quality starts with our relationships with local farmers, ranchers and fishermen. We source produce from over 40 family owned Maui farmers. We receive fresh Hawaiian caught fish daily. We only use socially conscious free range Jidori chicken and all natural Duroc pork. Enjoy your meal with our family. Hawaiian traditions respect the sea  by only fishing for specific fish during certain seasons. We honor these traditions. The fresh Hawaiian fish we serve are available according to their season.

Chef Luckey’s commitment to sustainable local agriculture & Hawai’i raised & produced livestock has placed him at the forefront of the local Farm to Table movement of Maui Nui.  Most recently, Luckey served as Exec Sous Chef at the Hula Grill on Kaanapali Beach, & now serves as Chef and leader of the culinary team at Leilani’s on the Beach.
