My husband and I went on a 7 mile walk/hike around Kīlauea so by the time we got back to our hotel, I was literally wiped out. My whole body was sore and the pain on my legs, feet, and back was so bad I cannot even described it. I told my husband I wish there is a massage place near us that I can go to. He found Hale Ho'ola Spa Volcano and after reading the different treatments, he said I should make a reservation. Suzanne, the owner, responded to my text right away and said she can take me at 6pm if it's not too late. OMG - the best massage ever! I asked for a 90 minute lomilomi massage and mentioned to her during our text messagings that I am not sure what to get. She told me that she will do whatever my body wants and that's exactly what she did - she seemed to know what my body needed at that time. She used hot stone on my tummy and my hands, massaged my scalp, applied lotion and scents that are very soothing and smell really nice. And her hands - healing!!! The pressure was just right - it was just perfect. The pain on my legs and feet were gone by the time she's done. I am a massage connoisseur as I go get massages often both in the US and during my travels internationally. I always get good massages but this is the best so far - Suzanne really has healing hands. I will definitely be back. On a side note: a dog lover as well. I was able to see 5 very cute puppies that Suzanne is taking care of and the cute and protective dog mom. read more

I don't usually review on yelp but I would like a more updated and recent review for those inquiring about this spa. This spa provided amazing service! I came to get a message early August 2025 with Suzanne, the owner of the company. The spa is a closed off area in a home and dedicated solely for massage rooms and whatnot. It's a beautiful vibe to the room-- rainforest, cool, breezy, sometimes rainy, calming atmosphere. The rooms are dark and relaxing. The massage was absolutely beautiful. They are very attentive, and they make sure to check with you for any areas that you would like to focus on. I wanted a more relaxing massage rather than deep tissue and she executed that exactly as I wished. You can tell that she is very skilled, and she has mastered her craft. I also got the scalp treatment and it was amazing on my long hair. She had moisturized my hair deeply, covered it with a hot steaming towel, and later rinsed it out. The lotion and oils used to massage as well as the moisturizers and oils for the scalp smell SO GOOD! I left the spa smelling amazing and also with my skin moisturized and feeling softer than ever. I would 100% recommend this place and I'll definitely be coming back! read more

My husband and I drove 2.5 hours across the island for this magical rain forest massage and it was worth it! It was rainy and that added a mystical magic in the air. The products used smell naturally pleasant (rather than typical scented or perfumed oils/lotions) and the therapists were pros, releasing any tension in our bodies. Suzanne began setting the tone with a ceremonial spirit-led prayer/chant and she ended it the same. LOMI LOMI is the best massage I have ever experienced in my life and I am a 53 year old massage connoisseur that experiences massage every vacation and different countries. Mexico, Iceland, Ireland, Italy then in the states many famous spas....this beats them all!! read more

We did the couples' 1-hour Lomilomi massage for our honeymoon. GREAT EXPERIENCE! Suzanne and Shivani were excellent. We left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated with a lot of pressure and tension released. read more

Hale Ho'ola Spa Volcano - Relaxing entryway and waiting area. - Day Spas Near Me - Volcano, Hawaii

Absolutely wonderful gem we were blessed to come across! My 34 year old boyfriend and I were on a week long vacation in Hawaii. On the morning of our first full day, he started to have extreme back pain, to the point he could not get in the car or do much movement at all without having severe back spasms. Shivanne works at Hale Ho'ola along with the hotel we were staying at, where we ran into her. Her compassion for the pain my boyfriend was experiencing was unmatched. She contacted Suzanne who managed to squeeze him in early the next morning. The difference from when he walked into that appointment to when he came out of it is unreal. I am truly amazed. While he still had some back pain, it is so minimal compared to what it was. Suzanne was welcoming to both of us, I sat outside and pet her cat and drank tea while he was getting worked on. He seemed near healed after which is amazing. Rather it be her demeanor, spiritual strength, motivational words, how skilled she is at her practice, the teachings she's had in the past, likely a combination of all, she is amazing, Shivanne is amazing, this place is amazing. Could not recommend enough! read more

Hale Ho'ola Spa Volcano - Day Spas Near Me - Volcano, Hawaii

I had the best experience here. Suzanne fit me in to her busy schedule for a massage last minute. She had a cozy waiting area out front with the cutest orange cat, Ava, who just wanted to cuddle. The massage room was very therapeuticwith nice Hawaiian music and candles. It was incredibly relaxing and Suzanne was just such a delightful, caring person. Highlight of my time in Volcano! read more

Hale Ho'ola Spa Volcano - Ava - Day Spas Near Me - Volcano, Hawaii

Hands down the absolute BEST spa experience/service I have ever had! I am a spa manager and esthetician from upstate New York. I have been in the industry for many years and I have never left a spa feeling so relaxed and, dare I say, euphoric. From beginning to end, Suzanne envelopes you in serenity, comfort, and a genuine kindness that has no equal. Not only was everything relaxing and luxurious, but it was also therapeutic and healing. For the first time in my post-40 life, nothing hurt. NOTHING. Suzanne has healed both my body and soul. For that, I am eternally grateful. Mahalo! read more

We had the most beautiful, relaxing, massage experience here! We had a rejuvenation package, including lomi lomi massage, scrub, facial, and warm wrap. My friend and I both felt our therapists focused on exactly what we needed. It was a beautiful serene rainforest location, the ladies here were warm, professional, and truly healing. We also chose our scents and the products were amazing. I get a lot of massages, and this one may have been the best!!! I feel so grateful to have found this sanctuary! It is exactly what we needed! Thank you! read more

Truly a God wink led us to this piece of paradise as we sought to have the local massage experience. Tough to choose which one with so many choices. Settling on the LomiLomi with aromatherapy and oils. Shauvon (sp?) was welcoming and with a gentle demeanor and soft spoken nature.However, she made sure you knew your needs were a priority as to what areas of tension need help, type of pressure and any other concerns. My cousin went first as I relaxed on the patio. Upon completion she said you will be amazed. The tranquil carefully decorated and comfortable room was fabulous. All the lotion, oil and more options were overwhelming. I chose a body butter scented with traditional Hawaiian flowers. I also mentioned a knee with some arthritis issues which she used CBD cream on. Today I still feel great before my long flight back to the mainland. Shauvon has medical massage training and it is evident on her touch, working out tense muscles and more. Highly recommend this for a treat to your body from the head, temple massage to the feet and warm towels plus heated bed. read more

Amazing massage and beautiful location. my husband and I had a couples massage and were not disappointed. they took their time, gave us their full attention. would highly recommend and would love to go back on our next visit. read more

Got the lomi lomi massage and got an excellent mix of forearm and palm kneading with some finger work. Scalp and neck felt relaxed and it eased pain around my lower back and hip muscles. Unfortunately, didn't not down her name. Massage does vary quite a bit by masseuse. If you want a more atmospheric massage than tenderizing (which is a matter of preference), complete with with sound bowls and loud ringing placed by your ears, I think the masseuse who provided more of that flavor we Suzanne. Situated in a house but the sign should make the business clear when driving down the street. read more

My fiance and I had amazing massages by Soibhan after a long morning of hiking. He got the Lomi Lomi and I got a hot stone massage. Afterward, we were both so relaxed and smelled like the islands! I did have a little trouble booking the appointment... I think there may have been a change in staffing, and it took a few weeks of back and forth before the date/time were confirmed. I will say, I am a bit phone shy and I did all of this via text. I'd recommend calling to make your appointment! read more

I made an appointment for a couples massage for today and when I arrived on time for my appointment no one came out or answered when I called. I tried knocking on the door and calling several times and no one answered. I'm very disappointed because I really need a massage and was l looking forward to getting one. read more

Super special massage in such a special place up on the Volcano! Super Relaxing and the aroma therapy was amazing. Lomi lomi brings a touch of Hawaiian energy into a beautiful massage experience. I highly recommend!!! read more

We were so lucky to schedule a couple rejuvenation package with an extra 30min massage that was amazing. The package consisted of a body scrub, facial, steam or body wrap and 90min massage (normally 60mins). The ladies (Jennifer and Jeanella) performed the lovely experience in a room surrounded with the breathtaking ambiance of the sounds of hawaiian birds and winds of the forest. It was truly a treat to relax, breath-in and appreciate the true experience of Hawaiian life and Aloha. That's what it's about. read more

A must for massage connoisseurs! A cozy, spiritual setting deep in the 'Ohi'a rain forest at the top of Kilauea volcano. Suzanne combines authentic Hawaiian and modern technique, and she touches with aloha. My wife and I are regulars for a couples massage and the co-masseuse is always excellent. Can't wait to go back. read more

Excellent massage with great oil, super attentive therapists finding all the sore spots. Best massage in a long time, will come back love the Native Hawaiian unique stuff read more

Suzanne wasn't there for our massages but she arranged for Kahanu and Jeanella to be our therapists. They were glorious. My partner was in tears at the end (good tears) of her massage. We did the Rejuvenation package and it was worth every penny. They therapists are skilled and most importantly, giving. Now, know that it's not a fancy spa at the Four Seasons. It's the side of a beautiful residential home converted to a massage parlor. So there is no sauna (that I know of) or multiple lounges-- it's a massage room. ***Don't be turned off by that.*** The services provided are of the same quality, if not better, than at spa with fancy facilities. I cannot recommend this spa enough. Truly fantastic. Thank you. read more

This was an amazing experience, one that left me full of joy and thankfulness. Suzanne was so welcoming, friendly, and warm and had me at ease from the moment we met. I booked the Hapai Lomi prenatal massage which was something I had been looking forward to on this Babymoon trip! Her care and dedication to bringing love and healing was clear through every moment of the experience and I felt so calm and relaxed, something I had needed for a while. The products used were heavenly and the scent so relaxing and gorgeous. The massage itself was superb with key attention paid to my sore hamstrings and hips; I surely needed the stretching and movement Suzanne provided. With the experience in the rainforest, the sounds also brought a calm and reminder of where I was and what I was there to do: be mindful in the moment. If you are looking for a warm, welcoming, genuine, relaxing, beautiful experience, this is the place to be. I can't say enough about how much I appreciated and loved this space and the soul within. If we come back to the big island, I wont even think twice about coming back! read more

Most phenomenal massage Ever! Intuitive touch and caring about what was needed for my knotted up body! Highly recommend getting massage here. My wife and I got a couple massage simultaneously. We are both ready to come back when we return to Hawaii. Of course wishing we lived here so we could get massage every week! read more

Michelle was great for my prenatal massage. I've gone to massage envy previously and it pales in comparison. As with many of the local businesses, it is done out of the owners house. Make sure you confirm your appointment as well. I left totally relaxed and my body free of pregnancy aches and pains. read more

The best, by far, spa experience ever (and I'm pretty experienced at this stuff!). My good friend and I splurged on the 2.5 rejuvenation treatment. Sugar body scrub, heat wrap, facial & massage. Do yourself a favor and ditch the plans for a plain vanilla treatment at a big chain hotel by indifference bored masseuses. This is the real deal. Home grown with passion & intent by experienced body healers. Make the effort. You'll thank me later. read more

First class treatment with aloha and compassion. The best work I have experienced in years. Highly recommended.

Best massage ever!!! Husband and I had massages here. He had Suzanne and I was with Kahanu-we were both so pleased with the quality and expertise. The massages are truly healing massages. That is something that is difficult to put into words so one would have to have that experience. But that is why I would give this more than 5 stars if I could. We will definitely be back when in this area again. read more

We were able to book 2 last minute massages with Suzanne that were incredibly good. (Note that reservations a week or more ahead are necessary, especially if 'in season'!). I had tweaked my back a few days ago, and my spouse was just interested in a deep tissue massage. Suzanne worked to identify specific areas of concern and then used a combination of pressure points and stretching to work on the affected areas. Needless to say, she is very skilled and we would highly recommend her. She has a one room studio, with two tables for couples massages (but again, book early). Highly recommended. read more

I had the pleasure of having Susanne work on me yesterday. She is so skilled and her knowledge of how to find the places that need attention are spot on. She also talked with me about exercises I can do to help me with my knee issue. It was a very beneficial time well spent in her hands. The room was lovely and the arrangement she made on the massage table had me in a complete feeling of zero gravity. No pressure points were touching. So relaxing as she did her magic. The scents of the oils she uses also take your mind to a better place away from any aches you may have been feeling. Mahalo Susanne. read more

My wife and I had the opportunity to visit the Hale Ho'ola Spa Volcano for the second time across several years and if it's possible to improve on perfection then they have! The Spa offers you not only the ultimate spa experience but they provide you with a unique and powerful spiritual experience. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the experience so much so that when it was over we were left wanting more! What better review can be given than "please May I have some more "? If you are ever in Volcano or Hilo do whatever it takes to visit this extraordinary Gem and it's wonderful owner Suzanne Wooley. I promise you will only be pleased and rewarded. read more

Hands down, the best massage I've ever had. My husband and I did a couples package. We both received a sugar body scrub, heat wrap, facial and massage. The most important factor for me when it comes to spas, is just be great at what you do. Suzanne and Chivonne were superstars in my opinion. Their skilled hands were matched by their kind and generous spirits. It was literal heaven to me. We are lucky that we stayed nearby, but when I come back to the big island, I will make the trek to this spa again, regardless of where I stay or how far away it is. read more

One of the best massages I have ever gotten! The massage therapist is very welcoming and has a great place set up in volcano. I look forward to going back my next time I visit the Big Island! read more

Booked a duo rejuvenation package - was able to schedule for the next day. Includes steam tent, facial, body scrub and lomilomi massage. Rate is super reasonable at $210 (especially compared to the NYC rates I'm used to!) It was AMAZING and made me and my friend completely relaxed and on cloud 9. Quality of massage was excellent. Products are all local Hawaii plant based products. Suzanne is a gifted masseuse with strong expertise and excellent healing energy. Lomilomi massage is different from all other kinds of massage I've tried. My back pain got better after too! read more

WOW!! If I could give 6 stars, I would. Suzanne and Auntie Donna gave us the most incredible Lomi Lomi Massages!! We have had A LOT of Massages and this was hands down the most complete, relaxing, caring, spiritual, fantastic Massage we have ever had!! The entire experience, starting with the drive into the beautiful, lush surroundings of Volcano, meeting with Suzanne and Auntie, the relaxing sounds, Suzanne's voice and wonderful prayers, the delicious aromas, the comfort, the conversation, even the little touches like the arrangement in the basket you are looking at when laying on the table, and of course, the AMAZING MASSAGE! - it was all perfect and something we look forward to experiencing many more times. Definitely our new Go-to Massage on the Island. She was able to get us in with only a couple days notice but don't count on that - they get booked up quick so recommend booking as far in advance as possible for this wonderful experience. BTW: After your massage, stop in at the Volcano House for lunch/drinks/views. Mahalo Nui Loa. read more

I wish I could write a review, but my appointment was completely forgotten (and so was my name, but that's really not a huge deal). The alternative was I could have a contracted massage therapist come in later in the day but I'd have to pay cash or check. I decided to cancel. I was really disappointed because I had been looking forward to this very much, but after being forgotten having to jump through any hoops was more stress than I wanted from trying to have a day of relaxation. read more

Had a lovely massage before I left after 5 days of travel on the Big Island. Very relaxing and restful. In private home, low key, and restful! read more

Had a Lomilomi massage here. It was great! The bed and space was so warm and cozy. Suzanne does great work. Next time I am definitely going to try the hot stone massage. Highly recommend. read more

Kamaluhia is wonderful, she's amazingly talented and beautiful. My husband and I received a lomi lomi session from Kamaluhia ... It's was divine! Super convenient and not to be missed! read more

My new husband and I went for our Honeymoon - the best massage either of us have had. The ladies were great and I loved picking the scents we wanted to use! Highly recommended read more

Suzanna is wonderful. I had the pohaku pa'a (hot stone) massage and it was delightful. The environment is peaceful and relaxing. I had to wait outside for an hour for my mom to have her massage and the time flew by. The weather was lovely, air smelled great and the music of the birds was serene. If you visit the Hilo side or travel to the park for the day, take the time to make an appointment. read more

We just had the most wonderful, relaxing session with Suzanne. She has soft powerful hands. The healing words she says over you are electrifying and soothing. My husband especially enjoyed when she lifted his legs. It was very gentle and relaxing. I had knots in my neck and they are now vanished. When the session ended, we both felt like a bowl of jelly. An excellent way to start our day! read more

My fiancé and I had a fantastic couples lomilomi massage. The spa space was tranquil and the birds chirping outside the open window was simply idyllic. Both therapists (Suzanne and another woman who's name escapes me - sorry! You were incredible!) were highly experienced in this modality of massage therapy - best I've ever experienced!The song and singing bowl incorporation made this a truly memorable massage. I only wish we lived closer and could make routine visits to your spa . We would definitely appreciate your referral for a sister practitioner on Oahu! All the best to you and happy holidays - Gwen & Paul read more

Thank God I found Suzanne! I mean it! I arrived with knots and pain in my back and numb hands and arms. I had been seeing my chiro and acupuncurist regularly prior to my visit. Finally when I was on vacation I had time to find someone to help me and help me she did! Suzanne worked my over in a very good way. She did the most exceptional, nearly 2 hour session of body work. She did loom loom and structural alignment and worked on my muscles at their points of insertion and origin. I was so thankful that I found her. She is exceedingly gifted at what she does and was truly focused on helping me feel better! Mahalo again Suzanne!!! read more
