Great place to relax and get some time away from the kids. We were a little rushed because we sent our kids to Aunty's Beach House but that's a different review. The massage was just right. The facility is beautiful. I would do it again. read more

Lovely day spa. Professional staff. Bert easy to book services over the phone. Exceptionally clean and lovely overall spa.

Laniwai Spa is amazing. Some tips: -order food 1st if you're there after 11am. It takes 30-45 mins for the food to come. Gratuity is included as well as a delivery fee. Added like $8 to a $23 sandwich. Total was like $30+! -you can order hot tea from anyone anytime...Jasmine, Lychee, or Hibiscus. -you can ask them to reheat your neckpad when relaxing in the relaxation room. -you can only enter once, no re-entry so bring a battery for your phone if staying long. -Gratuity is added automatically and DVC gets a special massage. It's open til 7pm. Wish we could stay longer but the kids got restless at Aunty's and they called. read more

This has got to be one of the best spas I've ever been to in the world! I've heard good things about this spa but I never really thought it would live up to the hype. I was so wrong, it's everything you would want in a spa and more! They have a private relaxation room for men and women and then a joint one with tons of snacks. Their outdoor oasis has a few plunge pools and showers not to mention tons of other amenities. You should come and spend time there before and after your treatment. I decided to get a signature Lomilomi massage and they used hot stones as well as a lomilomi stick. I've never had a massage that was this amazing! The use of the hot stones really take this massage over the edge. I would highly recommend it. Yes it's pricey BUT it's worth every penny! I'll be back and this time, I'm spending my entire day there! read more

Celebrated my birthday by getting treated to a 80 minute lomi lomi massage. I easily booked my appointment online. I got dropped off by my husband an hour before my massage appointment (actually I showed up 90 minutes before because I mixed up my appointment time but that wasn't a big deal). I checked in at the front desk, paid for my massage which automatically included the 20% tip, then I was taken on a tour of the facilities. The person from the front desk talked about the design of the spa that embodied the Hawaiian culture and she had me close my eyes and pick a stone with a word on it and mine was "happiness", then I made a wish and tossed the rock into the water with other rocks. I given a locker to use to keep my things in which also contained a robe and rubber slippers to use. After I changed into my swimwear, I spent the rest of the time before my massage outside enjoying the warm soaking pool and the hot tub. During that time I also enjoyed some of their flavored water, banana muffins, and granola squares. I was told they would get me 15 before my massage started, but I changed into my robe before then. I took my time getting changed that I didn't have a lot of time to spend inside the relaxation room to try out the massage chairs. My massage therapist, Cherie, got me and she gave a very nice lomi lomi massage with hot stones. After my massage, I took a shower and got changed. The showers had shampoo, conditioner, and body wash to use. There's also an area where you can apply make up and use their hair dryers. Cotton swabs for your ears, body lotion, sun screen lotion, and disposable hair brushes were also available. There were lots of towels available at multiple locations inside and outside of the spa. There's a sauna and steam room to use, but I didn't feel like using them that day. After I changed back into my clothes, my husband came to pick me up to go to lunch at Off the Hook upstairs. The front desk validated our parking ticket so that we could have 4 hours to leisurely have lunch and go shopping. I'm thinking this might be my annual birthday gift from now on because I really enjoyed the relaxation and pampering there. read more

Laniwai Spa - Hidden Mickey - Day Spas Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

I did an overnight stay at Aulani and my wife treated me to a massage for Valentine's Day! I spent about 45 minutes outside in the Kulawai, which was very relaxing, then took a nice shower and shave, then it was time for my treatment. My therapist, Eric, worked on my jacked up neck, back and sciatica, and he did an awesome job! He worked on it yesterday and my muscles are still sore today. He went deep deep tissue and I love it! Super nice guy and very professional! Thank you dear for such an awesome Valentine's Day stay! read more

Wow! Amazing! Wish I could afford this kind of pampering every month! Laniwai Spa was truly a magical experience to rejuvenate one's mind, body, and soul. On Memorial Day, it was also about taking a moment to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Disney's first ever Spa was definitely a great place for some much needed meditation to escape from the fast-paced daily grind in town. It was a quiet lovely space, even a stone's throw away from the typical Disney fun, to just close your eyes to find peace and harmony. The nice feature about Laniwai Spa is that it offers co-ed facilities! So, I ended up booking the HoniHoni ("Sealed with a kiss") Couples Massage over the phone. As the appointment date got closer, I received several email reminders to arrive at least 45 minutes prior to our scheduled treatment time with swimwear on. Why so early? Guests who book a full-service treatment are also able to take advantage of the outdoor hydrotherapy garden called "Kula Wai", which was complimentary - no additional fees! Kula Wai was such a wonderful pre-spa experience! Outside, the co-ed hydrotherapy garden consisted of heated soaking tubs, a rain shower circuit, heated whirlpool, and a cold plunge strategically spaced among the palm trees, plumeria, cabanas and fountains. Your spa attendant will also prepare a cup of blended Hawaiian exfoliation to take home. Inside, the non co-ed complimentary amenities included a eucalyptus steam room and dry cedar wood sauna. Inside the co-ed relaxation room, you have access to tea, fruit infused water, and healthy snacks like delicious oatmeal raisin cookies and banana bread muffins. You will want to spend some time at Kyla Wai before and after your treatment, so plan accordingly. My +1 hardly ever gets to enjoy spa services like this and he loved it! The Couples Massage was incredible! Disney has done it again - "happiest place on earth" right here. This moment! Our female masseuse's were fantastic. The massage oils and body butters were Hawaiian scents like pikake, mango, Professional, friendly, strong, and just amazing. The massage table was most wonderful. Heated and adjustable, especially when we had to lay on our back. My head and feet were automatically elevated to a comfortable position and my masseuse continued with the treatment. Ugh. I didn't want it to end! This is the life!! Service was 5-star outstanding all around. Every member of the staff always took notice of my presence and always offered assistance or a warm greeting. Book an appointment. You won't regret it! P.S. The robe and slippers were so comfy! Loved the slippahs so much I ended up buying a pair at the shop in the front lobby. :-) read more

My yearly birthday getaway..thanks to my daughter. A little piece of heaven in this crazy world!! My recommendation would be to book your service for late afternoon, so you can enjoy and experience the whole garden. Upon entering you are greeted and asked to close your eyes and pick a stone that is inscribed with a Hawaiian word. This is your "focus stone", past 2 years I had ikaika (strength)..this year I got hau'oli (happiness)..this brings me back yearly to see what's to come. Then you are asked to toss it into the water pond and watch the reflection of light on the walls. You are given a full size locker with slippers and a plush robe. Various temperature hot tubes, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, various outdoor shower, padded lounge chairs, cabanas, coed relaxation room, lady's relaxation room, mens lockers & showers, woman lockers & showers, vanity area, various water & fruit mixes. Piped in music even chirping birds!! Aulani definitely exceeds Disneyland expectations. I had the lomilomi massage..melted away....nothing more to say!! I make it an ALL day " ME" day..6 plus hours...yearly rejuvenation. Downside: Validation is only 4 hours unless u park in the lagoons and watch the sunset read more

A transformative experience. Absolutely loved my time at the Laniwai Spa. It was exactly what this mom needed, and in the middle of a busy and fun vacation. I loved it so much, we scheduled my husband for a massage and he, too, had an incredible experience. It was exactly what I needed to unplug, relax and recharge, so some self reflecting to step back into my role as a wife and mother with the best foot forward. I mean it when I say this experience was transformative. We will continue to go back for services any time we are in the area, and will book facials as well. read more

Laniwai Spa - Gardens - Day Spas Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

I had a 50 min Lomilomi massage W/ Sean and it was amazing! I was so relaxed and then I got to enjoy the amenities including sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and cold plunge. The spa has a new smoothie menu and also a food menu to order off of if your hungry. We ordered both the strawberry colada smoothie and chocolate banana with protein, recovery and immunity boosts!! Delicious. I spent some time in the relaxation room with fresh fruit offerings and pineapple infused water. I got some bath salts and sugar scrub to take home with me along with some awesome memories! This was a great experience and my spa attendants Kathryn and Yasuko were just lovely!! I can't wait to return. read more

My husband and I wanted to try the spa at the Aulani resort and we were not disappointed. We got the couples massage, it was expensive, $185 each, but we were able to go an hour early and enjoy the garden area and relax before our massage. After the massage we were able to use the steam room and the sauna. They have a room that has massage chairs and you can take a shower before you leave. There are secure lockers you can put your things in and everything was very clean. Next time we go to the Aulani resort we will definitely be going again. read more

This is the third time I've been in this Spa. We do this each time we stay at the Disney Aulani--- a not -to -be-missed experience. Starts with all the scents of peace and relaxation with spa music. A lovely woman with relaxing voice greets you and introduces you to all the amenities-- relaxation room with massage chairs locker rooms and showers. Before the pandemic there were snacks and sauna, not at this time. I had the the lomilomi massage. Used to do this with my daughter in same room. but again due to covid restrictions. It has to be done separately, with mask worn the whole time. It was just as magical and lovely! Would love to have spent the whole day here... read more

Wow this spa is worthy the (very steep) price tag! The price of your service includes the tip/tax so for a 50 min massage I paid 250 :0 but it's probably The only time I'll be in Hawaii so why not. You're told to arrive an hour ahead of time to enjoy the facility - def do this it adds to the worth of your service price. I walked in and paid, was greeted by a kind staff member and was given pineapple water. They took me on a lovely tour of the facilities which included a women's bathroom which had a changing room, shower, steam, sauna, lockers, robes, spa shoes, iced tea and water as well as a women's only relaxation room. There is also a co we relation room as well as a coed outdoor area which is so tranquil. There are relaxation baths as well as a large outdoor shower with different shower heads to "represent the different types of rain in Hawaii" there is also a hot tub and cold plunge pool. As I relaxed in a cabana feeling zen, a staff member asked if I wanted a smoothie. It cost extra but was so delish! I recommend the pina colada smoothie wow so good. The massage was amazing. You can choose between 4 lotions and 4 types of music. Massage was heaven!!! So good!!! Pros Amazing facility They will validate parking for 4 hours - lots of parking! Sauna and steam Lots of free spa water Great massage Totally relaxing experience Great staff - definitely the friendly Disney staff I love! Cons Very expensive, but you get what you pay for read more

massage itself was just ok, but the overall experience was fantastic :) we lucked out with a last minute couple's massage availability and also got to take advantage of the hydrotherapy garden before and after our massage. seeing that it's surrounded by guestroom balconies i thought the hydrotherapy garden would feel a lack of privacy or feel intrusive but there was rarely anyone hanging out on their hotel room balcony while we were there and thank god no screaming children around either... it's an adults only spa. the teens have their own separate facility. the hydrotherapy garden had 3 spa pools at varying temperature, 1 cold plunge, and different outdoor showers. enough lounge chairs but it did start to get crowded mid-afternoon. it's beautifully landscaped, surrounded by palm trees and plants, truly a tropical oasis. i think photos don't do this place justice :) i haven't steam roomed and sauna'ed since pre-covid and this was such an incredible treat. overall it was a wonderful journey but a few things could be improved with the quality of massage itself (we got the signature lomi lomi 50) and the light fare / refreshments (whole fruits, small cookies, mini bottle water and juices). gratuity is auto included. 4 hour parking validation for non-aulani guests. mahalo to the laniwai team. read more

It's not what it used to be. Due to the spa's COVID protocols you're not able to take advantage of most of the amenities. They only allow you in an hour in advance and between the tour, time to change, and calling you in for your service you might get 15 minutes in the relaxation garden. After your service you are allowed to shower and leave. Again, no taking advantage of the garden. The relaxation garden was the whole reason I booked, I wanted N hour to myself to unwind. It was a very disappointing experience. As for the service, I booked a prenatal massage. I would not book it again. The masseuse wanted to chat the whole time, and didn't let me choose a scent or pick the music. I found the music and chatter pretty distracting and the scent used for my service was not my cup of tea. Also, the massage was not very good, I've had way better massages at this spa. Between the bad massage experience and the feeling of being rushed every second I was in the facility did not lend to a particularly relaxing experience, and for the cost (which was super high - more than $300 for a massage) I do expect to leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. I suggest waiting for things to go back to normal before hitting up this spa. That said, up until my last visit I regularly got treatments, every vacation, and always felt it was worth it. read more

I am writing this review purely as a Laniwai Spa walk in at the Aulani. My friend suggested we check it out as something to do while at the resort. Not easy to find, but as soon as we entered we were asked if we had an appointment. No, we wondered if we could get a tour. The response was, no we have someone in there. That was it! Nothing else. I felt like we were a HUGE inconvenience for the three receptionists with nothing to do and not another soul around. I asked if they had a menu of services and literally was gestured to a QR code on the counter. I swear. This is the truth! Not any type of customer service whatsoever. If this is how you're greeted, can't imagine a relaxing experience. We did end up booking a wonderful spa day, but not here! read more

My favorite me-time pastime is getting massages, and I am so glad I finally found my go-to spa. Yes, it is Aulani...so of course prices are pretty up there. BUT, worth EVERY penny! Most massage treatments are in the high 100s to 200s, however, you get to hang out and use their amenities for as long as you want! Whether it be before or after your spa treatment. Some of the things you get to enjoy with no extra charge are a number of pools (including a hot tub and cold water plunge), outdoor showers representing different waterfall/rain in Hawaii, lounges where you get offered heated neck pillows and delicious snacks, sauna and steam room, and free body scrubs (my fave being pikake). What I also love about Laniwai Spa is the exceptional customer service. The staff are extremely nice, professional, and does everything to make sure your experience is a relaxing one. read more

I decided to visit Laniwai and treat myself to a prenatal massage at 37 weeks pregnant. This is my favorite spa and worth the splurge because of all the amenities they provide. From the moment you step foot into the facility, you are treated so well by the entire staff! My massage therapist was Amy, and I told her I prefer heavy pressure. I wasn't sure she would oblige since I'm so pregnant - but I was pleasantly surprised. Amy used just the right amount of pressure during the massage. She really got in there and loosened up my hips, a problem area during pregnancy. I dozed off a few times because it was just soooo good. I went for the 80 minute hapai massage and was glad I did. Mamas, treat yo' selves to th. You earned it! And ask for Amy, you won't regret it! Btw, if you get hungry but aren't quite ready to leave the spa, ask the attendants for a dine-in menu. I ordered a turkey club, and just like the massage, it was perfection! read more

Holy Jesus.... this was the best spa experience of my LIFE. The high price is very much worth it, as it includes use of the facilities for as long as you'd like. And the facilities are ahhhhh-mazing! The steam room was my my absolute fave (thinking about it now... a month later... I should have spent much more time at the facility!!). I chose to get an 80-min heated stone massage, and it was the best massage I've ever received. I loved how personalized everything was. Seriously, from the moment you enter the spa until the sad moment you walk out, the whole thing was perfect. read more

This place is really expensive but if you want to splurge and treat yourself or a loved one, I really think it's worth the money. The place is huge and there are so many amenities. I loved every minute and the massage and body scrub was the best of my life. My only complaint is that for the high price they should validate your parking for the entire day and let people make a whole day experience at the resort. I would have liked to spend some more time in the spa itself, in the various pools, and maybe even go out to the lagoon beach afterward for some sun, but my friend and I had planned dinner at Aulani after our massages and there wasn't enough time. (Dinner was great too!) read more

I cannot give a high enough rating-we stayed at Aulani and booked several trips to Laniwai. Upon arrival you are greeted with a cool atmosphere, gracious staff that treats you to a tour of the grounds, explaining how everything works. There are a few water stations with fruit, sometimes muffins-make sure to drink lots of water! Everything is gorgeous from the entry way to the gardens. The gardens are super relaxing and many options from hot tub to small heated pools-you can stay there for an hour before and after so make sure to take advantage. Once they are ready for you they ask you to go to a room with several lounge chairs separated by curtains. The massages were outstanding and so relaxing, they play music and have you chose lotions-the smells around the spa are something I wish we could bottle! I also had a pedicure-that was an amazing experience! You sit in a massage chair while your feet soak and they work their magic. I had a Mickey and Minnie added, they are still there 2 months later although I have had to file them so they are disappearing. I let going back, it was so relaxing and probably the most refreshing vacation we have ever taken. Love it and will return! read more

Lockers at spa are not secure. Left Chanel sunglasses, airpod max, book and glasses unattended on a chair as I showered really quick. We were last ones at the spa using amenities. Phone was in my locker. Everything missing after less than 10 minute shower. Even my phone in my locker was missing. Completely cleared all our lockers out (mine, my sisters, my mom). They were all open and completely empty. Asked staff if they found anything or if anyone picked anything up. They said no, we are the last guests and no one else is here. All my work is on my phone so only when I started panicking to the front they told us to go back in the lockers and check. I was confused because I kept telling them we completely emptied the lockers? They insist we check. like literally insisted 3 times. So we go again and they open the lockers. All my things are in not my locker, but my mom's. All our jaws drop because we were just staring at all three of those lockers side by side absolutely emptied out. What's weird is I specifically put my phone in my locker, and the other things were sitting out on a chair. But they all conveniently ended up in my mom's locker together in the same place after we all left the locker room? this felt very shady so we tried to explain to a staff member someone tried to steal it and then put it back when we left. at this point i feel deeply anxious because it makes absolutely no sense all my stuff is together and in a different locker after emptying everything out. the staff member says to calm down because there are other guests around. i thought you just said we are the last guests? something shady happened and all the staff were in on it because i'm sure they're all friends that go out for drinks after work. i feel completely gas lighted and don't appreciate how poorly the staff handled this as i was having a nervous breakdown. aside from the weird event of my things showing up together in a different locker (obviously planted there once they saw i was having a panic attack and understood the severity of the situation), the service was poor and felt like they were minimizing what i was going through. Spent $900 today on this experience and sad this happened. Moral of the story, don't bring anything valuable or dear to you. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE! I've stayed at Aulani quite a few times but never utilized the spa until now. Let me just say, I feel like a fool for not getting a facial here the previous times I've stayed. The process is relaxing, luxurious, and the hospitality is TOP-NOTCH. I booked a Classic Skin Fitness facial, and that in itself was amazing. However, the spa has a Hydrotherapy garden, consisting of different showerheads, a cold plunge, steam rooms, and more! Unfortunately due to COVID, I wasn't able to try out the steam room, but the other therapies they had were wonderful. My esthetician was Julie, and she was so professional and down-to-earth. Laniwai also has a great back bar, and I purchased so many of the products used on me since it was that good! I say, if you're staying at Aulani, you might as well book a treatment too. You won't regret it! I can't wait to go back for another facial. read more

There are not enough words to describe what an amazing experience I've had each time I've been here. The first time the masseur I had was Jason and he was great-- very warm and welcoming and catered the massage to my needs. The masseur I had today was Matthew and he was equally amazing. I am so grateful for his massage and his craft he shared w me. I plan on coming back and treating myself to a 90min massage on my next visit. This spa is expensive but worth every cent in my opinion. Mahalo for the hospitality and a hui hou! read more

Absolutely worth it. I was on the fence about doing the Laniwai spa during my whole trip, considering the price tag, but this was my first real spa experience and it's Disney nonetheless, so I couldn't help the hype. For the services I paid for I was expecting top-notch luxury quality, and Disney does not disappoint. You always count on Disney hospitality, from the ladies who greet you at the entrance to every single person working the spa, and at Laniwai it is top notch. Without giving too much of what goes on when you first walk in (or you can read other Yelp reviews), the spa experience at Laniwai encourages total relaxation and mindfulness, with everything centered on your own self and what you choose your day to be about. Focus on a word and make it yours, especially on a day where you're welcomed to be selfish. Services I definitely splurged on were a regular facial and a gel manicure. The facial was an hour of pure bliss, where in a soothing room they picked out my blackheads and tried at least 3 different skin treatments, including a scrub, as well as a light upper body (head, arms and shoulders) massage. For the manicure (gel is extra) they use a certain brand, and colors, while limited, are cute and pastel. They also give you a cute little take-home manicure set, along with hot tea and little snacks (muffins and a lemon macaron). The lush greenery and soothing spa music, outside at the hydrotherapy garden, enhances the whole beautiful experience, especially while lounging or in the pools. The dim lighting in the relaxation room is perfect. And the sauna by the bathrooms is amazing, the right amount of hot and it smells very lavender-y in there. Everything is very clean and hygienic. The robes they provide for you to wear over your bathing suit are wonderfully soft (see photos). There are also light snacks, as well as coconut water and a really refreshing passion iced tea. For the bathrooms, the necessary amenities are all provided. (I was very pleased because it was my time of the month.) There are plenty of changing rooms. Showers are stocked, and you get a body scrub sample to take home. Also, the body lotion the spa provides, idk what brand, but does wonders to the skin. If you can squeeze a full day at the Laniwai in the midst of a hectic family vacation, especially at the kid-heavy Aulani, it's absolutely worth it. Luxury spas are a must-try, at least once in your life... might as well be a Disney-quality one. Everyone needs a treatyoself, self care day once in a while! Ps. Julie the esthetician and Sally in the beauty salon are wonderfully kind and amazing :) read more

What a joke!!! We made reservations on line for an special occasion at the spa. They waited 3 days to call me back and tell me they were not taking reservations unless we're staying at the resort!!! They coul have said it the dayI made the reservations.. now is too late to schedule somewhere else. Not very professional. I don't think I want to ever go there. read more

Expensive but luxurious and very relaxing. We got an exfoliation and a massage. Make sure to give yourself at least an hour before any services to utilize the hot tubs, showers, sauna, and steam room. The facilities are great, and if you're looking to treat yourself, this is the place. They validate for valet parking as well if you aren't staying at the resort. read more

The best. I have been to so many spas and this tops the list in services and amenities. Worth the price.

Came here not for an appointment, but to buy a Christmas gift my parents. Customer service is always wonderful. The two ladies that assisted me - Jessica and Raylana - were friendly and personable. They greeted us when we came in and when we left. I asked if my boyfriend and I can look around the hotel before validating our parking ticket; we were told that we could look around first and to come back when we're done since there is a 30-minute grace period. I was telling Jessica about our experience last year, and she said that she remembered seeing us then. How nice! The gift card was wrapped it really nicely, as if it's ready to give as a gift with the shopping bag and tissue paper. It comes with the brochure (wrapped in tissue paper), pricing menu, a blank card with the Laniwai logo in front and an envelope, and the gift card in a card holder (I had the gift receipt with the card). My boyfriend and I couldn't think of anything else to get them for Christmas, except a gift card to the spa. They're not the easiest people to shop for, and this is something they wouldn't buy for themselves. We had such a great experience when we went last year (see my previous review). It was our first time ever going to a spa, I can't imagine going anywhere else! It's a nice way to treat yourself and your loved ones. It's a full-service spa - they have snacks, robes, slippers, showers, towels, toiletries and more. The total we spent the gift card is for the "Honihoni 'Sealed with a Kiss' Duet" package, including gratuity and tax. That way, my parents don't have to worry about making any payment besides on the gift card. Yes, it is expensive but so worth it! Some tips: - gift cards can be use for other services since it's a Disney gift card - validate parking - grace period is 30 minutes; look around first if you wish, then have them validate your parking for you read more

The spa is nice, and relaxing. The message and facial were great but my husband surprised me with the spa day and after I had my message I was thanked for coming and they came to the shower 20 minutes later asking if I was ready for my facial. So I ran out to make that. I wish my services were confirmed with me when I checked in but they just said they had me for a message. The spa was nice and relaxing but for $500 I expected things to be a bit newer. The garden pools and hot tubs were just average, as well as the saunas. read more

Man, I wanna go back to Oahu just to spend another day at this spa. First, there was no sign of typical Disney anywhere in the spa (or resort for that matter). So do not worry - you will not have to look at Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck while getting your body rubbed down. But I don't need to go into all the detail as it seems like most reviews here touch on the main points, so I'll be brief: 1.EXCELLENT SERVICE 2. Two hot tubs - one salt water one eucalyptus 3. Steam room 4. Outdoor chairs to lay in the shade and relax while you wait for your appointment 5. Best hot stone massage I've ever had 6. Once you're done with your service, they take you into this room where you lay in recliner chairs and they put hot eye covers on you and cover you with a blanket and you just RELAAAAAAX, read, etc.....There's also snacks in there!!!!! 7. When you check out you get a custom scented bath salt (not that kind) to take as a souvenir. 8. The changing areas and showers are immaculate with every toiletry you could ever need - including super nice robes. It was about $200ish which is something I have never done for myself. But I probably spent 5 hours there just chilling out maxing, relaxin all COOOOOL. And getting an amazing massage. Ugh - man - I wanna go baaaaaack. read more

There are about three spas that I love on this island: the Moana Lani Spa at the Surfrider in Waikiki; Laka Skincare and Spa in Ward; and Disney's Aulani Laniwai Spa in Ko'olina. But living in Mililani, the thought of a more relaxing drive to Ko'olina will tilt the scale to Laniwai for me. I've visited the spa as a hotel guest, but most recently visited just for the spa itself. If you valet, they will validate and you don't have to worry about any time constraints. I checked in early so I could use their fitness center and shower before my appointment. When you check in for your service, you will be asked to take care of your bill at that time. There are two relaxation lounges, a women's only and a co-ed lounge that leads you to the garden area with pools and outdoor showers. Stop by the co-ed lounge for their variety of infused water and teas. They were so refreshing. Both lounges offer whole fruit, nuts, and small sweets like macarons and cupcakes. My massage was excellent as I had expected. I left feeling relaxed and refreshed. I had thoughts of going across the street to Island Vintage for a latte and an acai bowl, but mommy guilt got the best of me and I headed home. Next time! read more

Absolutely the BEST spa on the island! This is the only spa I have been to that has a large co-ed area for couples to relax in! Usually when my husband and I get couples massages, we have to wait alone until our appointment. Here, we can relax together the whole day! There are two big hot water tubs, 1 jacuzzi, a cold plunge (the water is like ice!), a reflexology path and an array of around 5 different hot rain showers! There is also the standard co-ed relaxation room with fruit, nuts, refreshments, lounging chairs and magazines. Staff were coming in and out asking if everyone was okay and if we needed anything. They brought me hot tea (three different types on one tray) that were just delicious! If you get tired of your spouse, there are also separate relaxation rooms, steam rooms, and other amenities that you can do on your own. They really spare no expense here. Everything is top notch. Our couples massage was the best massage I have ever had. I have a shoulder injury, which I told my masseuse about, and she applied just the amount of pressure to it and spent just the right amount of time on it. The ambiance from the start is calming, peaceful, and relaxing. It felt like I was a million miles away from home and work. The bathrooms were fully stocked with everything I could possibly need. And if I couldn't find something, the staff were more than happy to find what I needed. You are told to arrive an hour early for your appointment to enjoy the facilities. I would arrive even earlier if you can! Or better yet, book a morning appointment so you can spend the whole day at the spa afterwards. You will not regret it! You just read a review for the Best Spa Ever!! read more

I am a return customer of Laniwai, but my most recent visit was truly disappointing! No lunch services, steam room and sauna were closed. Worst of all no one communicated this at the time of appointment, confirmation or when we arrived. the massage was great but communications were poor! very disappointed as this was a birthday treat for me! read more

I have been to quite a few spas "like" this but nothing even compares or comes close to the level of service and attention to detail at this spa. I convinced my husband who was hesitant at first (due to cost) to do the signature lomilomi w me. This was a basic massage but added hot stone elements and this thing called a Loki stick which was used on your legs and feet. As others have mentioned when you walk in you pick your stone with the word of the day on it. What I didn't realize until the end was that the person who does this with you tells the person at the front desk so when you check out you get a bath salt that has your word on it... Really cool to make the journey go full circle. What I loved when they took me to the locker rooms was that the woman must have assessed my size and opened me up a locker with size small slippers and a small (amazingly comfortable) robe. Most spasm have been to just have like one generic robe size which is xl and huge on me. Such a small thing but makes it so much more comfortble when it fits right. The slippers were really cute and comfortable too. I picked out plumeria as my scent which they give you in a sugar scrub to take with you or use in the shower there. Just wish they gave ou more than like the 1 oz tube. My husband and I loved the hot tubs and hydrotherapy showers. Some were so strong they were like getting a massage. Very neat and unique concept that felt great. My husband also spent a lot of time walking up the reflexology path to get his feet massaged...it was a little hard for my feet! It was a little crummy that construction was going on RIGHT next to the spa... I literally was looking at a bulldozer thing and there were loud beeps every time it backe up.... Not as relaxing as I would have hoped. We enjoyed the coed relaxation room with the fuzzy blankets, carrot muffins and the 3 selections of hot teat they brought. If that wasn't enough, they gave us warm neck pillows that smelled like eucalyptus and clove. Very nice touch and so relaxing. also the lounge chairs in the non-coed relaxation rooms are curvy and so comfortable for your lower back. Now the massage part.... It was great. I got to pick out of 4 smells which lotion I wanted and also got to pick which music I wanted to listen to (I chose rainforest sounds). Minor details but makes you journey more customizable. The stones were so smooth and felt great. She focused on the areas I told her were bothering me well. The crappy part was that I had to leave. Wish I could have stayed the whole day. Will def come back!! read more

Laniwai Spa - Cute stone in shower - Day Spas Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

The fiancee & I treated ourselves to a "Ohia Lehua" couples treatment at Laniwai on our last stay at Aulani. Our treatment included a full body exfoliation and lomi lomi massage, as well as the use of the Kula Wai hydrotherapy garden, the relaxation lounges, saunas, etc. When you first walk in, you get a good sense of the peace and serenity that Laniwai offers you. The staff are very friendly and offers you water upon check-in while you wait to be escorted on a tour of the spa. After your tour, you are allowed to choose a little container of body scrub to use after your treatment or later. You are then allowed to change and stow your belonging in your locker. After changing, you are allowed to use Kula Wai. Here there are a collection of different rain showers, hydrotherapy soaking tubs, hot tubs, a reflexology path, and a cold plunge pool. On this occasion, we decided to try out the showers and one of the pools. All of the water features here are heated (except for the cold plunge), which is nice. The showers were great and relaxing, though they could be tricky to turn on since they are motion activated. The pools were great as well. After a while spent out here, though, a cast member will find you and escort you to your treatment room. For our treatment, the fiancee and I had the couples suite. The suite was extremely relaxing with nice, earthy colors, soothing Hawaiian music, dim lighting, and a pleasant fragrance. Also in the couples suite is a big shower, changing area, and toilet. Our treatment began with the exfoliating body scrubs. Again, you are given a choice of body scrubs as well as a choice of body butter kiss for your massage. Not much to say about the exfoliation. It was great and left our skin feeling very refreshed and super smooth. Following the exfoliation, you need to shower. The therapist said it the best "it's in your best interest to get as much of the scrub off because if not, you will be lying in it during your massage." :) Anyway, after the shower, it was back to the tables for the massage. The massages were great! The therapists were very knowledgable and were keenly aware of the way your body feels and reacts so that they may focus and correct trouble spots that they find. As a result, after the massage was over, both my fiancee and I were feeling quite refreshed and more loose. After your treatment you are then escorted back towards the relaxation lounge and locker rooms. You are welcome to remain i the spa the rest of the day to take advantage of all the amenities free of charge. On this occasion, though, we decided to leave following our treatment. So we went in to our respective locker rooms and changed. The locker rooms themselves are stocked with shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, shaving cream, razors, mouthwash, lotions, etc. all free to use. Needless to say, Laniwai was a great experience. By far the better of the two spa treatments we've had thus far. We will definitely be back in the future, though, in hindsight we'd probably schedule the appointment for the end of our stay rather than the beginning. After swimming and sliding so much, I got a little achy and could really have used a massage! read more

I have never been so relaxed in my life!!! My friend (bless her) researches before we came on this trip and found this spa. She said it was the only spa on the whole island of Oahu with a hydrotherapy garden. What's that you ask? It's an outdoor exclusive area filled with hot tubs of varying temperatures, a cold plunge tub, 5 outdoor rainfall showers, loungers and lights and music and peace. All of that is just what's outside and the use of the area is included free when you book a spa service. Inside they have large men's & women's locker rooms with a eucalyptus steam room and dry sauna on each side and coed and single sex relaxation rooms ....read: napping area. I got a hot stone massage, which has ruined all other hot stone massages. How? The table and the technique: the massage table was adjustable and my masseuse was able to set it in such a way to take the pressure off my back while she massaged me. Her technique involved using two stones at once and using them to actually do the massage and not just sit them on my body to warm up the muscles pre-massage. So after 5 hours at this spa I feel as though I'll be good for about 6 months. Haha! I am looking forward to coming back next year. I can't wait to return! read more
