SPA PAGE - MAUNA LANI BAY - HAWAII THE BIG ISLAND

Hawaiian Treatments

We would like you to experience the very essence of the Hawaiian culture and its healing elements. Feel the warm spirits lift your heart, mind and soul. All of our Hawaiian treatments begin with a soothing foot bath.

Lomilomi
Lomilomi is a spiritual, ancient Hawaiian massage technique passed on through family generations by either the kupuna (elders) or kahuna (keepers of the secret). This treatment begins with a pule (prayer) in the Hawaiian language and employs the use of forearms and elbows to create a rhythmical and vigorous euphoria.

Lomilomi Hula
Lomilomi Hula transcends your being into another dimension with lomilomi strokes choreographed to Hawaiian music. Created by our own kumu (teacher) lomilomi, it is descriptively portrayed as doing the hula (dance) on the body. Sensuously delightful. A must for couples!

Opu Huli
Opu (stomach) huli (turn) was traditionally performed on our keiki (little ones) when they acquired an upset tummy. A candle is lit, your wawae (feet) measured, and a pule repeated while warm kukui nut oil slowly fills your piko (navel). This lomilomi begins at your na‘au (abdomen), circulating outward, comforting your entire being. For jet lag, menstrual cramps, gastritis, or any low back or abdominal discomfort.

Pohaku Pa'a
Pohaku Pa'a (basalt stones) had many different uses in Hawaiian culture. The ili'ili (little) stones were fire-heated, then positioned along the spine of a freshly oiled back. Various sizes of hot pohaku pa‘a and kukui or coconut nut oils are utilized in this massage.

Aquatic Body Therapy

"Kahi Kikaha", to soar, glide poise as the Iwa Bird. The sensation of floating was comparable to the sensation of flying and being uplifted and carried by the winds......

The 1000 square-foot Kahi Kikaha takes the element of Aquatic Body Therapy to new heights. Built amongst ancient Hawaiian Lava Tubes, Kahi Kikaha harnesses the energy and healing elements of the land into every session. The Hawaiians believed that the Lava Tube represents the womb to the 'aina (land), this land formation provided shelter and a place of rest. We have worked in partnership with PowerLight Corporation to replicate this special place that you can go back to what nutured you... that settled place where you started life, back to the center of your creation. This masterpiece has unique features to include: skin temperature salt water, underwater acoustics, tranquil lighting effects and a surreal waterfall - all of which is completely powered by photovoltaic panels provided by PowerLight Corporation.

Taking you back to the womb, your therapist will provide support while floating, stretching and massaging your body into a deep state of relaxation and well-being. All body types benefit from weightlessness, opening joints and melting tension. Experience techniques designed for warm salt water therapy including Watsu, Waterdance, Healing Dance, Floating Reflexology and/or Floating Massage. Experience as a couples session.

Lava Sauna

The ancient appeal of "Fire & Ice" summons as you gather with others to experience our Lava Sauna. As you step into this open-air sauna, feel the warm 'ili'ili stones under your feet. From the earth, we have taken black clay that helps smooth the skin while drawing impurities from the body. While the heat of the sun-warmed sauna relaxes you, we encourage you to find a quiet calm within as you allow the mud to dry. When the mud has dried, and the stress has dissipated, you will be guided to private shower where you will rinse and re-moisturize your skin with our signature body oil. This ritual concludes as you meditate in Hale Nahenahe (house of gentle sounds) in our La'au (healing) Garden.
