It’s a Wrap

Honua Spa in Maui Has Everything Readers ‘Knead’ in a Top Three Spa

It could be the way Honua Spa cultivates a unique spa experience, transitioning from the indoor treatment rooms to the natural setting overlooking HanaBay, or perhaps it is the variety of treatment offerings coupled with amenities which include a Watsu aquatic pool, a steam room complete with a cold plunge, and an outdoor lava rock whirlpool. But chances are, it’s the unique “Spirit of Hana” embraced by staff and guest alike that caused Condé Nast Traveler readers to vote the spa at the legendary Hotel Hana- Maui as one of the top three spas in Hawaii in the Reader’s Poll of the Top 240 Spas featured in the April 2010 issue.
 
Operating on the strongly held local belief that true balance and health come from gifts of the earth, Honua, which means “earth,” incorporates local plants, minerals and water, blended with the teas, baths, face and body products, into treatments including the Sea Enzyme Body Wrap, utilizing mineral-rich Hawaiian seaweed, and the Volcanic Body Scrub and Wrap featuring the soothing tropical flower extracts of jasmine, hibiscus, noni and orange, while treatments such as the Lomilomi employ rhythmic strokes, joint movement and deep kneading in a powerful, native Hawaiian healing tradition.   
 
Hotel Hana-Maui is located on the island of Maui in secluded Hana, Hawaii. For reservations please call 808.248.8211 or visit www.hotelhanamaui.com.
