The
intimate spa and fitness area at The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua offers
a variety of treatments, therapies and salon services based upon on
the beliefs of the ancient Hawaiians. The intimate, boutique spa debuts
a new renovation in late 2004 featuring a fresh look inspired by the
island location. State-of-the-art
cardiovascular equipment with individual flat-screen television panels
as well as new Cybex equipment is featured in the fitnesss room.
From the heavens comes the
gift of ua (rain), to nurture, cleanse, refresh and purify. Blessed
with a keen sense of observation and spirituality, the Hawaiians of
ancient times gave many names and personalities to various rainfalls.
One such name was "Waihua," a description of water that
is pure in every sense.
The large
leaves of the taro plant caught and stored this special water until
gathered by the kahuna (expert, healer, prophet) for use in potions,
medicine, ceremony and protocol. Waihua is water that has not touched
the dirt of the earth, nor the sins of mankind. It was a treasured
resource that helped na kanaka maoli (Hawaiian people) to rejuvenate
and invigorate their bodies and spirits, creating pono (balance) in
one's life.
TREATMENTS:
From a body scrub utilizing volcanic minerals indigineous to the Hawaiian
islands to a signature Waihua healing treatment, the professionally
trained therapists at The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua utilize the latest
techniques to pamper guests.
