Guides
Dietary restrictions, handled like infrastructure.
The short version: tell us the flags at inquiry, and the menu arrives designed around them. The long version is how the system actually works.
The system
Eleven flags — vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, kosher-style, dairy-free, nut-free, keto, pescatarian, low-sodium, diabetic-friendly — collected at inquiry, written into the menu, and confirmed in the quote. Allergens get separate prep surfaces and dedicated utensils.
Designed around, not stripped by
The difference between accommodation and design: a vegan guest gets taro, ʻulu, breadfruit, and Upcountry produce at the center of the plate — not the fish dish minus the fish. Maui’s pantry makes the good version easy.
Mixed tables
The common Maui table is mixed: one keto, one celiac, two kids, one vegan. Flagged plates run in parallel, coursed to match the table, labeled where the format is shared. Nobody eats a visibly lesser meal.
The limits, honestly
We cook in villa kitchens, not certified facilities — so for severe allergies we describe exactly what separate prep means and let you decide. Kosher-style is available; full kosher supervision is a referral, and we say so.
Questions, answered
No surcharge for the flag itself. Ingredient differences land in groceries at cost, with receipts.
With a full protocol — separate prep, dedicated utensils, a written plan in the quote. We describe the real limits of a non-dedicated kitchen honestly rather than promising absolutes.
