Services
Lomilomi Massage
This traditional Hawaiian healing technique uses rhythmic forearm and elbow strokes to connect heart, mind, and body. Our therapists integrate deep tissue work with flowing movements that release tension while promoting emotional balance. Clients experience improved circulation and muscle relaxation through this sacred practice passed down through generations.
Signature Facial
A personalized skincare treatment combining Epicuren and iS CLINICAL products tailored to individual needs. Our aestheticians address specific concerns through customized cleansing, exfoliation, and nourishing techniques. The experience includes hand and foot treatments with warmed mittens and booties, delivering visible results while promoting deep relaxation.
Volcanic Clay Wrap
This purifying treatment uses dry volcanic clay to draw out toxins while Chinese clay stimulates blood flow. Botanical elixirs hydrate and heal skin, with Hawaiian Noni providing anti-aging benefits. The 90-120 minute experience includes steam room access, exfoliation, and finishing hydration for skin renewal and tightening effects.
BEMER Therapy
This bio-electromagnetic device improves microcirculation to support natural healing processes. By enhancing blood flow, the treatment helps deliver oxygen and nutrients while removing metabolic waste. Sessions last 20-30 minutes and complement other wellness treatments by optimizing cellular metabolism and tissue regeneration.
Couples Packages
Curated multi-treatment experiences designed for two guests, featuring synchronized services in private rooms. Options include the Ultimate Wellness Experience with lomilomi massage and volcanic wrap, or the Perfect Day Sanctuary with body scrub and facial.
