Hawaii's Spa Experience: Rejuvenating Secrets from the Islands

From the indigenous healing practices of the ancient kahuna to the modern-day spa, Hawaii has a collection of rejuvenation secrets gathered in one place for the first time. Hawai‘i’s Spa Experience: Rejuvenating Secrets of the Islands is the first book devoted to the Islands’ spas.

Lomilomi massage, ti leaf wraps and aquatic water therapy are just a few of the wellness treatments Hawaii’s spas offer. Evocative descriptions of the signature treatments from the top resort spas will leave you longing for a macadamia nut body scrub, orchid oil facial or sandalwood foot massage.

You will find recipes for tasty spa treats, as well as recipes and tips to recreate the Hawaii spa at home. For the spa novice, there are instructions on how to find your way around a spa, a glossary of "spa speak" and a directory to help you book your next treatment. The pages of the book are scented with the relaxing fragrance of lavender to put you in a spa state of mind.
