The Woodlands Resort Brings the Spirit of Hawaii to Texas with Island Escape Luau Celebration

THE WOODLANDS, TX -- The Woodlands Resort is set to bring the tropical essence of Hawaii to The Woodlands with its one-night-only community event, from 5 to 7 p.m. Island Escape is open to the public, and invites guests from across The Woodlands and Greater Houston to embrace the spirit of the islands through food and live entertainment while enjoying the resort’s tranquil setting, all just a short drive from Houston.

The evening will kick-off at Forest Deck in true Hawaiian hospitality fashion, with live island melodies upon arrival, followed by vibrant Polynesian performances featuring hula maidens, male warriors, a live Hawaiian band and drummers. Bringing the energy of a traditional luau to life, the performances offer guests an authentic taste of Polynesian culture through music, dance and storytelling.

Prior to the main show, guests will be invited to join in on the fun with interactive hula, hula hoop and limbo lessons from the experts themselves, plus a build-your-own lei station for the perfect personalized take-home item to commemorate the Island Escape experience. Other fun activities include a glitter tattoo and selfie station, snow cones and photo opportunities with the hula dancers.

“Island Escape is about creating an experience that feels transportive from the moment guests arrive,” said Hank Reilly, The Woodlands Resort General Manager. “From live island music and Polynesian performances to the flavors and traditions woven throughout the evening, we wanted to create something immersive, welcoming and completely unexpected right here at The Woodlands Resort.”

Alongside its performances, Island Escape will also include an immersive culinary experience featuring tropical-inspired cocktails and a Hawaiian-inspired buffet at Harrison’s. The buffet will be available for purchase onsite at $75 per adult and $45 per child. Guests looking to elevate their experience can pre-reserve a VIP Island Table via Eventbrite, featuring premium viewing of the entertainment, dedicated waiter service, the Hawaiian buffet for up to four guests, and champagne for the table.

Locals and visitors alike are encouraged to kick off the weekend with The Woodlands Resort’s Island Escape: A Hawaiian Luau. Admission to the event is complimentary for both hotel guests and the general public, with an RSVP required via Eventbrite HERE.
