Splurge Treatment: For an immersive full-body experience, I recommend treating yourself to our Maluhia Package that has you covered from head to toe. Request our oceanside hale during your massage for the most indulgent experience.

Experience the full beauty of the North Shore with the spa’s oceanside Hale, which offers prime ocean views.

Favorite Treatment: My favorite treatment is our Lomi Lomi massage. While this massage can be found in many spas on island, our massage remains traditional and begins with a meditation, which sets the intention of the massage. This experience makes me feel deeply connected with the therapist and allows me to experience a unique service that has been passed down many generations.

During treatments in the hale, guests are immersed in a full sensorial experience as the rhythmic sounds of the waves relax the mind and body.

Unique Treatment: Our Kuilima Sensorial Massage is unique to our location as we stimulate the senses with the offerings of our farm. The experience starts with breathwork using the essences from fresh herbs to relax the mind. Next, the full-body customized massage relieves areas of tension using a hand-crafted massage oil. Service concludes with an offering of chilled Mamaki-infused tea, grown on our farm.

The salon offers a variety of nail services including manicures and pedicures.

Featured Products: We are proud to feature a blend of local brands such as Oshan Essentials, UA Body, and lokelani. Additionally, we have partnered with Hydropeptide and CauseMedic, which are highly effective brands that prove to help repair and improve the wellness of the guests.
