Hawaii Healing Ohana , Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

Within the world class resorts that dot the Big Island is a day spa any wahine can reach without paddling a canoe. There they can experience a paradise of spa treatments. Home to the Pohaka Wela, the ancient Hawaiian hot stone massage and other native treatments, this low-key haven is tucked away at the Ali’i Sunset Plaza (behind Lava Java). The island lava and river stones warmed by essential oils, combined with the sweeping strokes of a lomi lomi massage, promise to unlock some of the mystery of Hawaii’s healing traditions.
