SPAHALEKULANI

Wind down in Waikiki with the stress-melting rituals of Polynesian tradition. The spa belonging to the waterfront five-star Halekulani hotel (the name translates as “house befitting heaven”; halekulani. com) marries ancient wisdom and indigenous ingredients for an only-in-Hawaii experience. Relax to the sound of ocean waves while indulging in massages ranging from the Nonu, using hot stones and healing noni fruit, to Lomi Lomi, the sacred Hawaiian massage using kukui nut oil, or Ho‘olele, an intense, all-over massage enlisting the help of the therapist’s bare feet.
