 awaii spas are renown for their East-West mixture of spa services, as well as their
homegrown Hawaiian practice of lomi lomi and others. What could be
better than pampering spa treatments in tropical surroundings at a
fabulous Hawaii resort. There are resorts and spas on most of the major
islands, but this page spotlights those on Oahu. So, come relax and
enjoy luxury Oahu resort spas or day spa services in Oahu.
On
the island of Oahu, health and wellness awareness has increased over
recent years and with that, the number of spas has increased. With a
dozen spas to choose from, Oahu offers a spectrum of treatments and
experiences to satisfy anybody's needs.
Oahu's
health and day spas allow visitors to experience the ancient techniques
of Hawaiian healing. The traditional healing philosophies and practices
of the Hawaiians, from herbal healing to massage, complement Western
science and can accelerate wellness. Traditional healers say successful
treatment stems in large part from a patient's spirituality and use of
a number of techniques including lomi lomi massage, which stimulates
the circulatory, muscular and nervous systems.
Hawaiian
spa treatments offered by many of Oahu's spas use Hawaiian plants, such
as kalo, awa, noni and kukui, as well as Hawaiian sea salt, kukui nut
oil and tropical fruits to relax and unwind. Visitors can relax with a
soothing hot lava rock massage, lomi lomi massage and other unique
treatments created to rejuvenate the body and spirit.
