SpaHalekulani – Hawaii Tropical Spa Pleasure

Before any treatments are performed, your spa pleasure begins with SpaHalekulani’s exclusive gentle foot pounding ritual. Your feet are first wrapped in fragrant, steaming towels, gently tapped with Polynesian bamboo (“ton ton” pounders), and finished with a light scent-ual misting.

The maile (pronounced my-lee) vine is their signature fragrance and is used in many of the products used in their treatments.

Each luxury spa treatment room is a spa suite, equipped with private steam showers. There is also a couples suite for couples treatments, with a Japanese-style furo tub.

Their SpaHalekulani Bridal Suite has two treatment beds, as well as an adjoining room for hair, manicure and pedicure stations. The day that I toured the spa, they were preparing for a bride and her attendants. They were all getting some type of treatment, as well as spa cuisine delivered to the suite. There is also an outdoor private lanai for those in between treatments.

Regular guests also can enjoy a private (lanai) spa terrace, separated by foliage, also allowing a view of Gray’s Beach known by the Hawaiians for its healing “Kawehewehe” waters.

They offer a Samoan massage that uses smooth stones wrapped in mulberry bark, and toning, revitalizing noni juice and a Signature spa treatment Polynesian Steam Therapy, inspired by Tongan traditions. After a gentle tapping-style massage to loosen the upper chest and back, this treatment envelops you in your own humidifying steam tent made of kapa cloth.

While your feet are pampered with reflexology, you inhale the lemony vapors of lemongrass, said to have antiseptic and skin-healing properties, along with earthy mists of kava root, said to ease anxiety and instill a profound calm, and eucalyptus to let you breath easy.

SpaHalekulani was developed by Sylvia Sepielli, operator of SPAd, (Sylvia Planning and Design). She has also overseen projects at The Mauna Lani Spa, on the Big Island, and Mii Amo at the Enchantment in Sedona, AZ as well as many spas in Japan & Asia.

SpaHalekulani was the first spa to fully explore the healing traditions of Hawaii’s diverse cultures, especially those from the Pacific Islands such as Samoa, Tonga and Tahiti. The Polynesian ambiance is abound – with sliding Japanese doors to the sandal-wood-scented massage beds.

Abama Golf and Spa Resort – Tenerife

Abama Hotel Tenerife
Photo: Abama Hotel Tenerife

The Abama Hotel Tenerife is a vast, family-friendly resort on the south west coast of Tenerife, Spain. In scale, Abama Hotel Tenerife is more like a village than a resort. The 160 hectare ‘finca’ or private estate is tucked away in the tranquil and little known area of Guía de Isora.

On the smooth slopes of the Teide, the highest peak on the island, the resort is set in an attractive hillside landscape that runs all the way down to the ocean and an exclusive beach. This volcanic terrain is covered by exuberant vegetation, with over 300 varieties of plants, trees and palm trees, in a situation with stunning panoramic views over the Atlantic Ocean and the neighboring island of La Gomera.

The architectural design of the Abama is ethnically inspired, using earth-colored walls, terracotta-tiled floors and irregular architecture. Nature is incorporated into the design, cleverly using trees and vegetation to build an unusual and relaxing look.

Villa rooms and suites come complete with their own gardens, terraces and shared pools, providing a wide choice of relaxing accommodation for families and couples alike. The three-hundred rooms in the main building continue the ethnic look with floors strewn with rugs, exotic plants and dark wood furnishings. Water is an essential element that runs through the entire resort with its numerous lakes and waterfalls.

Tenerife is the largest of the seven islands that make up the Canary Island Archipelago, found just north of the Tropic of Cancer. In this location, the Abama enjoys more hours of sunshine than any other part of Spain, with an average annual temperature of 23°.

At the heart of the Abama complex, is ‘the citadel’ where bars and restaurants, the library and screening room, decadently indulgent spa, secret gardens, ornamental lakes and swimming pools can be found. In ‘the citadel’ there is a choice of a deluxe room or two categories of suite accommodation.

The rooms’ interior decor makes use of local materials such as Canary Island pine, and each has a king-size or twin beds, fitted oak furniture and state of the art entertainment equipment. Marble bathrooms have large tubs, a separate shower stall, and complimentary brand-name bath products. Each row of villas has access to an exclusive pool, ocean views from their top floor rooms and spacious terraces.

Unsurprisingly, given the resort’s size, the facilities available to guests are extensive. With ten restaurants, eight swimming pools, seven tennis courts and a golf course and spa center, residents may spend a week at Abama and never step outside.

The fabulous golf course, designed by Dave Thomas, and boasting twenty two lakes and 25,000 palm trees, waterfalls, and Atlantic views, can be enjoyed all year round and is a major draw for many guests. There is a golf academy for guests to enjoy one-to-one golf lessons, and a pro shop stocked with leading brands of specialist golf equipment.

For a more sedate form of relaxation, an extensive spa and wellness center allows guests full immersion in an oasis of calm with a complete range of massages and other therapies on offer. Skincare, anti-stress and beauty treatments make use of natural and local materials such as volcanic stones, mineralizing marine algae, aromatic herbs and healing fruits. In addition, the spa has a hydrotherapy pool, thermal water circuit and a complete fitness center.

The Abama Golf and Spa Resort has a huge choice of ways to spend a holiday in a constant state of luxury relaxation. Combining a stunning location, fantastic facilities and excellent service, the resort has all the ingredients for an indulgent and memorable visit to the island of Tenerife.

Spas No Longer Just for Luxury

Spa massage treatment

For many years, the spa industry has long been known for catering to the needs of the rich and famous.

The message of the spa industry has been one of luxury and pampering, including: caviar facials and champagne baths.

That may be true but for average consumers, their belief is that number reason they go to a spa is to relax and relieve/reduce stress.

Consumers are looking for wellness, relaxation and for ways to live a balanced life. Spas are about living your “best life!”

“Spas are not about luxury – they’re about re-charging your battery, taking time to re-new, and learning how to take care of yourself,” said ISPA President Lynne McNees.

McNees continues, “Spas are about health, reducing stress and aging gracefully. The key is to take the information you learn at the spa, and incorporate it into your daily routine at home.”

In an industry study from the 2008 ISPA Global Consumer Study, several interesting fact surfaced.

  • The No.1 reason people around the world spa is to relax and relieve/reduce stress.
  • In 11 of the 15 countries surveyed, overall wellness and health was one of the top three reasons consumers spa.
  • In eight of the 15 countries surveyed, healthcare practitioner recommendation was one of the top three motivators for visiting a spa.

Going beyond just the traditional spa treatments like a massage and facial, the spa is now the place for the whole family to go to educate yourself on how to live a healthy well-balanced life.

Teenagers can learn how to care for their skin. Moms can learn to cook healthy meals. Men can find out how to deal with all that pent up work stress.

“With so many spas going above and beyond, there’s no reason not to spa,” said McNees. “Our ISPA member spas are focusing on wellness, by offering information on the healthy benefits of spa, including healthy living articles in monthly newsletters, adding fitness classes, educational workshops, and developing programs focused on regular maintenance, and not pricey pampering.”
