Kilolani Spa, a celestial sanctuary nestled within the renowned Grand Wailea Resort in Maui, invites guests to immerse themselves in a world of wellness inspired by ancient Hawaiian traditions and lunar rhythms.
Conceptualized by cultural programming director Kalei Uwekoolani, the spa’s treatments and amenities are meticulously curated to align with the moon’s path across the sky, every 10 days. This celestial influence is reflected in the spa’s name, which pays homage to the ancient Hawaiian stargazers who navigated the heavens, guiding their daily lives.
Upon entering the spa, guests are enveloped in a tranquil and serene atmosphere, beginning their journey in the womb-like reception area. Here, they are invited to set an intention in the traditional Hawaiian way, using water infused with salt gathered from the sea. The cocoon-like changing area provides a sanctuary for preparation, where attendants guide guests through the amenities of the co-ed hydrotherapy garden.
The hydrotherapy garden is a haven of relaxation and rejuvenation, featuring floatation pools, hot tubs, cold plunges, salt rooms, saunas, and a spacious hammam. Guests can unwind and revitalize, rotating between these facilities to experience their therapeutic benefits.
Venturing upstairs, guests can relax on the alfresco relaxation deck, surrounded by swaying palms and breathtaking ocean views. This tranquil setting is the perfect prelude to indulgent treatments, such as the lava rock massage, holistic facial, or honey-macadamia wrap.
Each treatment is designed to provide a deeply restorative experience, incorporating native botanicals, intuitive bodywork, mindfulness, and holistic healing practices. The therapists’ skillful hands and soothing touch create a journey of relaxation and rejuvenation, leaving guests feeling utterly serene and revitalized.
Beyond the spa’s treatments, the Grand Wailea Resort offers a comprehensive range of wellness amenities. At the Loulu café, guests can savor healthy treats and beverages while browsing a curated selection of products from LA-based grocer Erewhon. The on-site fitness center and movement studio host a variety of daily classes, from invigorating cycling sessions to serene beach yoga.
To further enhance the wellness experience, the resort plans to introduce a new class of “wellness rooms.” These rooms, located adjacent to the spa, will be designed with the health-conscious traveler in mind, featuring nature-inspired aesthetics, private grassy yards, and a suite of mind-body amenities.
Kilolani Spa is open to both resort guests and the public, welcoming those seeking respite and rejuvenation. Guests under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent. Passes to the hydrotherapy garden can be purchased for $75, providing access to its therapeutic facilities.
Located in the heart of Wailea, the Kilolani Spa at Grand Wailea Resort is a destination for those seeking a transformative wellness experience, where ancient traditions, lunar rhythms, and modern amenities converge to create a sanctuary of relaxation and rejuvenation.
