Hawai‘i is a healing place, and not just because of the soothing sounds of waves crashing on the shore or the warmth of the sun on your skin. Here, culture traditionally focuses on the importance of healing both body and spirit.
Spas throughout the islands are incorporating treatments based on traditional Hawaiian practices into their menu of services. LOMILOMI is a type of massage that focuses on easing stress and bringing harmony to the recipient as a whole, while LĀ‘AU LAPA‘AU is herbal healing, and Hawaiian salt rituals emulate the healing effect believed to come from ocean water while cleansing pores and rejuvenating skin.
