Kauai Massage and Wellness was amazing! My husband and I booked a couples massage. Ela is super…read moreresponsive and accommodating, she asked what kind of massages each of us prefer, and scheduled them accordingly. She also provided great directions on how to find her space! Like others have mentioned it is located in a physical therapy space, but you wouldn't be able to tell. Right when you walk in you feel the zen of the space with the mood lighting, heavenly scents, and relaxing music. It felt no different than other massages I've had! Now onto the massage itself, I consider myself to be a massage enthusiast, and Sara left me drooling. She asked if I had any problem areas, and spent extra time and care on those. My husband isn't a fan of massages (he doesn't normally like massages), despite his incredibly tense shoulders, but Ela was so great he has seen the light! He even asked what type of massage he should ask for next time to ensure he gets the same type of massage he got All in all, we are soo happy we booked our massage here. We were even running a bit behind and they were super flexible with us. I would come here again and again!

I'd rate this place 100/5 stars if I could!…read more When my partner and I were booking our trip to Kauai, the one thing I *really* wanted to do was book a beach side couples massage. We looked around and I was immediately taken with Hanalei Day Spa, because the owner's passion was palpable, even across the internet. We arrived and were cheerfully greeted by the owner at the front desk, and she was more than happy to explain the process and answer our questions. She introduced us to our massage therapists, Renata and Lou, and we followed them to a gorgeous set up with shade and the waves in the background. Both Renata and Lou asked us about our aches and pains and injuries, and let us know how they planned to run our 50 min massage. They told us to undress to our comfort, made sure we were happy with the table height, and asked if we need more or less pressure as they started, I've never felt so considered in a massage setting before! As our massages ended and went back to the lobby to settle up, the owner asked us how our experiences were, and I blurted out "I've never felt so loose!" But as soon as the words left my mouth, I realized that not only was I looser than ever, but I was standing straight without hunching my spine AND that the pain I've carried in my back and shoulders for the last 20 years was GONE. Not lessened, not eased, but absolutely and unequivocally, gone. As I realized this I started to cry happy/relief tears; I couldn't help it! I'd never have imagined a 50 min massage could eliminate years and years of accumulated pain. I started to apologize for crying, and the owner started tearing up herself and told me to "never apologize for beautiful emotion", which only made me cry more. It's been a few days since, and my back has stayed straight, my pain has stayed gone, and my gratitude (to Renata especially) only grows deeper. It's clear that this spa is run by people who are dedicated, caring, knowledgeable, and incredibly sweet. I can't thank them enough!

We booked beachside 80-minute massages for a bachelorette group, and the experience was…read moreunforgettable. Getting there, however, was not without its challenges. First, one of the cars in our group had its undercover ripped off by a cement block while pulling out of the driveway. We had to turn back, leave the damaged car at our Airbnb, and swap vehicles before continuing on. Then, along the way, we hit a road closure that caused another delay. At this point, the GPS was telling us we would be about five minutes late, so we decided to call ahead to let the spa know, worried we might lose our spots or be charged a fee. To our surprise and relief, the owner answered with kindness and reassurance. She told us everything would work out and that we would still have a perfect experience. Her warm, calming response completely eased our anxiety when she could have just as easily been strict or unwelcoming. We arrived exactly five minutes late, but the staff immediately accommodated our first group while the rest of us waited in the front office, chatting with the owner. As we talked about our car troubles and mentioned we were planning to buy zip ties to hold the undercover in place, she quietly made a phone call. Just ten minutes later, her husband showed up with a handful of zip ties for us. It was such a thoughtful gesture that showed how much they truly care about their guests. When it was finally my turn, I chose the Lomi Lomi massage. I was a little nervous because I wanted light pressure without it being too soft or superficial, and I also have a low tolerance for pain. My masseuse delivered exactly what I hoped for, with the perfect balance of gentle yet effective technique. At one point, I drifted into such a deep state of relaxation that my thoughts faded away into complete stillness. It felt like slipping into a meditative state of pure bliss. The beachside setting made the entire experience even more magical. The sound of the waves replaced the need for any background music, seagulls added to the atmosphere, and occasional breezes off the ocean cooled the air in the most refreshing way. Hanalei Day Spa went above and beyond, offering not just skilled massages but genuine kindness and hospitality. Even though their schedule was fully booked, they made us feel welcomed and never like a burden. After 22 years in business, it is clear why they have built such a strong reputation. If you are looking for something truly special in Kauai, this is the place to go.

I explained to my massage therapist that I struggled with migraines and she knew EXACTLY what I needed. She found all my tense spots and basically fixed me! Having the massages along the ocean made it an exceptional experience. One goofy part was that you have to pay the massage therapists at the time of service via Venmo/Zelle/cash. They don't charge the card you use for the deposit. Overall, it was a memorable, relaxing, and enjoyable experience. I would definitely recommend :)

Carla was friendly, listened to what my body needed, what I asked for and just overall pleasant, relaxing and very good at what she does. I will definitely come back next time I'm on the island. Pricing is slightly high but I did price around the island and they were one of the best prices I found. Highly recommend.

She understood what areas needed more attention by asking us what our problematic spots are and gave the right amount of pressure when needed.

The stretching part was phenomenal must I say and her overall knowledge of targeting and releasing the toxins out of our bodies was worth it all!

I had a massage at the Bamford Wellness Spa on my recent trip to Kauai in July…read more I'll break down my rating of Bamford in more detail, separating the massage service itself from the spa amenities and experience with the rest of the staff. In terms of a massage, I'd rate it 3 stars based solely on the massage, not taking into account the price which is high due to the venue and amenities pre/post massage. I had a regular Swedish style massage which frankly felt like majority of the massages I get at higher end spas situated in luxury hotels when I travel, light to medium pressure (regardless of what I ask) that doesn't quite give the lasting relaxed feeling in my body that I get from my regular massage spot in the peninsula. The amenities and staff I'd rate a 4 out of 5 for the cozy relaxation area, cleanliness, modern and well kept locker room/shower area, and friendly service. The spa lacks a designated pool area that I tend to find in hotel spas overseas which is always a nice treat. Pros: Friendly staff, clean and modern amenities, situated in a gorgeous hotel. Cons: Nothing exceptional in terms of the massage itself, the premium paid is for the venue and amenities.

I was called 16 hours before the time of service and was told a technician was sick and they had no options at the same time for both guests. We ended up changing a service and time in order to make it work. I am definitely sympathetic to staff members being sick but thought it was interesting it was the same day as a Sephora brand trip when all influencers were posting about the spa. The spa amenities lack attention to detail. My friend was given two different sized shoes, as a non-resort guest, we could not use the pool or hot tub. There were no bags provided for wet swimwear or clothing. The showers are all rain showers which is nice but if you had a facial and are trying to avoid your face, it's very difficult. Customer service was not especially friendly or welcoming and I was disappointed with the experience for the price. Overall, I would not return or recommend.
