Luana Spa

We are pleased to announce that our Spa Room is finally open!  The Spa Room is an open-air room in our main house that we’ve converted from an orchid growing-room into a wonderful room where our guests can receive massages and facials.  We have two excellent licensed massage therapists and an esthetician available to provide a variety of treatments.

The Spa Room is situated upstairs in the main house over our koi pond.  As you rest on the massage table you can hear the koi-pond waterfall just below, along with the wind in our cocoa palms.  There’s lots of fresh air blowing through, but because the room is screened-in, you don’t have to worry about bugs, strong wind or sun.  With all the natural light pouring in and the wonderful breezes and birdsong, you feel like you’re outside without having to worry about the sheet blowing off (it’s happened to me) or flies.

Ken and I both had massages there earlier this month and were both so comfortable and relaxed we both nearly fell asleep on the table.  I had my massage in the late afternoon and afterwards the sun was burning brightly before its final set.  I lay down in a cool shady corner and took a quality nap.  I awoke just in time to watch the sun set and felt fantastic for the rest of the day. 

I am a huge fan of massages and facials and have enjoyed many treatments over the years.  If I was a guest here and interested in a massage or facial, I would schedule it for the late afternoon after a morning spent in the ocean.  I would take a long, slow swim/snorkel at Manini Beach in the morning, come back and take a dip in the pool, then have a light lunch.  I’d relax on the lanai then have the treatment, then afterwards have a nice long nap before sunset and dinner.  I once had a shiatsu massage and a facial at a hotel in Honolulu that left me so weak-kneed I barely made it up the elevator back to my room.  After a day that includes ocean, sun, pool, hot tub, and massage, it’s hard to feel stressed out about anything.  Here’s to relaxation!
