Honua Spa at Hotel Hana-Maui
Written by Vacation Idea.com Travel Editors.
Why Go
The spa at Hotel Hana-Maui is a beautiful facility with a design that incorporates the natural surroundings of Hana. Tropical plants and a gentle ocean breeze inspire and relax. The oudoor relaxation area provides privacy and a relaxing atmosphere before and after a spa treatment. The focal point of the oudoor spa garden is a huge jacuzzi connected to a pond with a view of the Pacific. The Watsu pool is also outside, shielded from the sun with canopy suspended over it.
Other spa facilities include a steam room with a glass wall and an outdoor plunge pool, perfect for improving circulation. In addition to the outdoor relaxation area, there is an indoor relaxation lounge and several treatment rooms.
It's a good idea to arrive early to be able to enjoy the natural surroundings and unwind before your treatment.

Choose from traditional Thai massage, hot stone massage, Hawaiian Lomi Lomi, reflexology, Shiatsu, Polynesian body scrub, Reiki Therapy and an array of skin care services.
Signature Treatment
Honua Rainforest Mist Facial & Massage ($130 for 60 minutes; $185 for 90 minutes) is a signature aromatherapy treatment developed exclusively for Hotel Hana-Maui. It combines a facial, body massage, reflexology and native fruits and nut oils to create a relaxing, sensual experience. The treatment incorporates the fluid movements of a Hawaiian lomi lomi to leave your whole body wonderfully connected.
Throughout the Honua Rainforest experience, the therapist pays attention to the entire body, wrapping hands and feet in a hot towel and massaging them while the facial products take effect. Aromatic oils, which are applied during the treatment, have a wonderfully calming effect and help complete this relaxing experience.
