5 Best Secrets for Your Hawaii Spa Vacation

Best Secrets for Hawaii Spa VacationThis blog post is sponsored by Healthy Living

Picture this...warm tropical breezes caressing your body while receiving a healing Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage to the soothing sounds of gentle ocean waves of the Pacific Ocean. How better can it get?!

The Hawaiian Islands provide a perfect setting for healing your body, mind and spirit. Hawaii is one of those rare places in the world where the environment itself has a soothing and calming effect on vacationers. Many spa treatments in Hawaii make use of ancient & modern healing modalities. Hawaii Spa professionals help you rejuvenate, revitilize & regenerate. Take time to relax and recuperate in the serenity of exotic, tropical environment Hawaii has to offer.

Let's share our 5 best secrets with Hawaii travelers interested in a Hawaii Spa Vacation:

Secret #1
Better check websites of Hawaii Hotels and Resorts for special Spa vacation packages. In most cases you save $$$ when making the reservation for the Spa vacation package instead of paying for your room and spa service separately.

Secret #2
When in need for a massage and staying at a Hawaii resort or hotel, check the local phone book for Outcall massage therapists. It will save you $$$$$. If looking for other holistic treatments like acupuncture or naturopathic doctor, do the same.

Secret #3
You don't need to stay at a Hawaii resort or hotel in order to make use of their Spa facilities. Resorts will appreciate your call. When you know that you will come back for several spa tretaments, ask what discount you will get when buying several treatments.

Secret #4
Make your reservation for your therapeutic massage at your Hawaii hotel for the morning hours, when the therapist is fresh. Most therapists are full-time employed by the hotels in Hawaii. When you think 4pm is the best time for your massage, it's actually the 6th or 7th massage for the therapist! Not good.

Secret #5
There are more and more Hawaiian retreats available which don't only offer spa services customized to your needs and wishes but also affordable vacation rental accommodations. You just need to find them. Search for Hawaii Retreat Maui or Hawaii Retreat Kauai or the Hawaiian island you prefer.

Great tips! You should consider adding a Digg link to this website as a lot of your articles are Digg worthy!

Keep up the great work. Because of this blog, I'm seriously considering taking a trip to Hawaii in the summer.

My family wants to take a Cruise. Any suggestions about that? Perhaps even a blog post about it would be great...

Great tips! I had never thought about Secret #4, but that does make a lot of sense.

One thing I like to do before booking a spa treatment in Hawaii is to see if the spa has a menu online or go by the spa and pick up a menu. That way I can really see what is offered and determine what treatments are worth the expense. Usually the spas offer a combination package that can save a few bucks.

One thing to be aware of regarding Secret #3 is that some spas charge an extra fee if you are not a guest of the hotel. This happened to me at the Grand Wailea. If I remember correctly, it was a $50 fee on top of the treatment fees.
