SPA PAGE - RITZ CARLTON KAPALUA - MAUI

From the heavens comes the gift of ua (rain), to nurture, cleanse, refresh and purify.  Blessed with a keen sense of observation and spirituality, the Hawaiians of ancient times gave many names and personalities to various rainfalls.  One such name was "Waihua," a description of water that is pure in every sense. 

The large leaves of the taro plant caught and stored this special water until gathered by the kahuna (expert, healer, prophet) for use in potions, medicine, ceremony and protocol.  Waihua is water that has not touched the dirt of the earth, nor the sins of mankind.  It was a treasured resource that helped na kanaka maoli (Hawaiian people) to rejuvenate and invigorate their bodies and spirits, creating pono (balance) in one's life.

SIGNATURE TREATMENTS

Lilia Lana I Ka Wai Malina (After-Sun Relief)  - When the Maui sun has taken a toll, allow the calming, cooling effects of Hawaiian water lily, cucumber and aloe vera to soothe the skin, reduce redness and provide essential nutrients to help restore elasticity and moisture.
 

A Hawaiian Healing Experience  - This unique treatment links the ancient wisdom of aromatherapy with the uplifting attributes of flowers found in Hawaii. One of seven exclusive essential oil blends is massaged into the body while the mana (energetic properties) of tropical flowers formulated to address commonly shared life issues are used to help find solutions and restore harmony.
 

Maka Hinu (Uplifting Face Massage)  - Experience the benefits of Hawaiian macadamia honey and the healing power of pure organic Jojoba oil. A complete face, neck, decollete and back treatment will rejuvenate tired, tense muscles and give your face and skin a healthy glow (no extractions or deep cleansing involved).

Ke Ola Hou (New Life Honey and Yogurt Wrap)  - Natural yogurt and shea butter, blended in warm Lehua honey, are gently massaged onto your body. As your skin is nourished and begins to soften, you'll be treated to an aromatic scalp massage.
