Spirit of Aloha ~ The Westin Maui’s Heavenly Spa
Local organic ingredients like Maui lavender (exclusive to the spa), coffee, macadamia nut and chocolate, combined with native Hawaiian healing techniques, are sure to make your experience out of this world.
The Westin Maui has taken authentic to a whole new level by employing native Hawaiians to teach traditional ways; the spa ensures every therapist has a full understanding of Hawaiian culture and the healing properties of each ingredient.
Yet delivering “Aloha” (much more than “hello” in the Hawaiian language) or helping you reconnect with your true self is only part of your Heavenly Spa experience. Heavenly treatments are designed to awaken all five senses: sight, touch, taste, smell and sound. These treatments feature luxurious sheets, beautifully scented oils or lotions, and the sound of waves crashing. They finish with a glass of refreshing Maui Lavender Lemonade.
My Hawaiian “Lomi-Lomi” Massage was delicious! Snuggled beneath super soft-sheets, I lay in a room filled with tropical scents. As my therapists worked in rhythmic fashion, creating a deep sense of relaxation, I could just feel the tension melting away.
Signature treatments include the 7th Heaven Facial, a deeply purifying facial with warm lavender paraffin hand treatment, and Hawaiian treatments such as the Island Lavender Body Butter, which combines a native island sugar scrub of Maui lavender and passion fruit with a coconut mango wrap.
Try the new Four Hands Massage for a truly decadent spa treat. Two therapists work simultaneously on your upper and lower body for a totally relaxing and healing experience. Heaven!
With a plethora of treatments just for the guys, it will be a cinch to convince my husband to join me next time. We may even enjoy a sensual massage à deux in one of the Heavenly Spa’s romantic couples suites. Definitely a must for honeymooners!
Other Heavenly Spa amenities include luxurious spa robes; a sauna, steam room and whirlpool in both the men’s and women’s change rooms; and a full-service salon and fitness centre. Guests may recline with a cup of herbal tea, dried fruit or nuts in the relaxation lounge overlooking the ocean between treatments.
The Heavenly Spa by Westin at the Westin Maui Resort & Spa truly delivers the experience of Aloha. Visiting it was the perfect way to start my Hawaiian vacation.
