Maui Spa Retreats & Wellness
Mountain Retreats and Coastal Paradise
Written by a Local Spa Expert
Jade KawanuiMaui's Wellness Paradise
Maui's wellness scene perfectly mirrors the island itself—luxury along the sun-soaked coast, authentic healing in the cool upcountry hills. As someone who grew up here, I can tell you both offer their own kind of magic.
For Luxury Seekers and Romance
Kilolani Spa at Grand Wailea
This 50,000-square-foot palace just got a $55 million makeover, and the concept is brilliant: everything follows the Hawaiian moon calendar. Treatments, oils, and botanicals change every 10 days to align with lunar phases. It connects you to natural island rhythms in a way I've never experienced elsewhere.
Signature Experience:
Couples Plant Medicine Ritual ($950) - includes an herbal bath and body wrap with foraged noni and ti leaves. The open-air hydrotherapy gardens and the state's only Hammam complete this over-the-top experience.
Spa Montage Kapalua Bay
Masters the mauka to makai (mountain to sea) concept. Their private outdoor hales are completely secluded by lush plants. The experience starts with pineapple juice infused with ʻawa (kava), immediately setting that authentic Hawaiian tone.
Hotel Wailea
Maui's only adults-only luxury resort, purpose-built for romance. Their "Paradise Retreat" for couples includes 50-minute signature lomilomi followed by a private coconut milk bath with Hawaiian honey. Pure bliss.
Paradise Retreat for Couples:
50-minute signature lomilomi + private coconut milk bath with Hawaiian honey
For Authentic Island Healing
Hoʻomana Spa Maui
📍 Makawao
The heart of authentic Hawaiian healing on our island. Set on acres of native botanical gardens, this isn't just a spa—it's a cultural destination. Their 'Aina Spa Ritual starts with guests gathering medicinal herbs from the garden for their own herbal bath.
What I love most:
Every massage begins with Hawaiian prayer, and you can soak in an outdoor stone tub in your private hut. At $109 for a 60-minute signature lomilomi, it's incredible value.
3-hour immersive rituals ($329) are life-changing.
Aloha Massages
📍 Paia (bohemian surf town)
Offers healing rooted in Hawaiian Huna philosophy—everything seeks love and harmony. Perfect after a morning surfing Hoʻokipa.
Lumeria Maui
📍 Makawao
Where wellness becomes education. This retreat center offers daily classes in yoga, meditation, and Hawaiian culture. Their spa focuses on ancient kahuna healing techniques, combining bodywork with mantra and prayer.
