The sunny South Shore is famous for its perfect beaches, stunning sunsets, and world-class resorts. The spas in this region reflect that atmosphere of relaxed, sun-drenched luxury. They have a particular emphasis on creating expansive, tranquil environments and romantic experiences for couples.
Luxury Resort Spas
Anara Spa (Grand Hyatt Kauai)
As the largest spa on Kauai, the 45,000-square-foot Anara Spa is a destination in itself. Its design philosophy is rooted in the healing power of nature, featuring an open-air setting that blurs the line between indoors and out. Treatments are not confined to rooms but are often enjoyed in private garden hale (bungalows). Each has its own tropical garden, creating an unparalleled sense of privacy and connection to the landscape.

The Spa at Koʻa Kea (Koʻa Kea Hotel & Resort)
While Anara Spa impresses with its scale, The Spa at Koʻa Kea captivates with its intimate, boutique luxury and unwavering focus on romance. Named one of the most romantic hotels in the US, this ethos extends directly to its spa. This makes it the premier destination for couples on Kauai.
Their treatments harness the power of local ingredients like moisturizing nut oils and Hawaiian salt. Many facials feature products from the celebrated local brand Honua Hawaiian Skincare. The spa's crown jewel is its couples' experiences.
