Soon to open, the new addition to the spa at the Four Seasons Hualalai at Historic Kaupulehu, the Waiea Garden (Water of Life) will be an enclosed tropical garden with a waterfall that flows into a pond and stream. Guests will retreat to this lush, secluded environment to cool their tootsies and have hand-and-foot massage and back-shoulder massage--or, just enjoy the greenery while waiting for spa treatments. Several private "hales" (cabanas) are under construction in the spa garden, too.
To enhance and personalize the array of exotic and traditional body/beauty treatments, a unique apothecary is the guest's first stop, where they choose from a fragrant inventory of local ingredients that have been grown and harvested locally--such as awapuhi(ginger), coconut, kukui nut oil, honey, sea salt and more. Custom-created mixtures are then used in the scrubs, wraps and massages, and guests are able to take home a supply of their special concoctions.
Within the Hualalai Spa is a full-service salon, indoor and outdoor showers, steam, sauna, and a big lap pool is right outside, along with separate fitness and aerobic venues, yoga and pilates rooms, the tennis center, and a convenient coffee garden where guests gather for snacks and drinks throughout the day.
For guests who cannot bear to leave the oceanfront pools or their 5-star-rated rooms and suites spa treatments can be arranged at poolside cabanas and on the private balconies, and patios of guest accommodations--aaahh. On the Kohala Coast of the Big Island of Hawaii, the Four Seasons Hualalai is comprised of a scattering of low-rise buildings amid a blooming jungle of gardens and trees, all within the sight and sound of the ocean. On the menu of activities are golf on the spectacular Jack Nicklaus Signature Hualalai Golf Course, paddle-boarding and outrigger canoeing, tennis, "Kids for All Seasons," a cultural center, shopping, and just relaxing on the beach.
