In Short
Located in the Hyatt Regency Maui, this 9,000-square-foot spa features a jaw-dropping view of Kaanapali beach and the Pacific. Luxury spa suites add a personal touch for traveling duos who want to enjoy a side-by-side pedicure or a couples massage. For supreme relaxation, splurge on an oceanfront cabana, where gently rolling waves and fragrant flowers set the stage for an unforgettable massage. Traditional Hawaiian treatments stand out from a dizzying array of services. Choose from a Maui sugar scrub and body wrap, Lokahi hand and foot treatment, or a Pacific Islands combination, including a pineapple papaya enzyme exfoliation followed by a firming wrap, kukui coconut moisturizer and kukui nut scalp and foot massage. Another favorite is the Lomi Lomi massage, a traditional Hawaiian art form that incorporates hot oils and gentle kneading strokes that melt away even the most stubborn muscle tension.
