Spa Moana at the Hyatt Regency Maui

By Madelyn Miller 

From the moment I was greeted by my therapist, Everly, I knew I was in for a treat. Her voice was so soothing, that I could only imagine how magical her touch would be.

And she did not disappoint. My Lomi Lomi massage gave me a wonderful chance to unwind at Hyatt Regency Maui’s luxurious Spa Moana, Hawaii’s only oceanfront, full service spa and salon.  Located on the southern end of the resort on beautiful Ka’anapali Beach, this 9,000 square foot, glass front spa is an architectural treasure featuring a full service salon, wet and dry treatment rooms, duet treatment suite, open air exercise lanai, fully equipped fitness center, men’s and women’s locker rooms, steam rooms, dry saunas, whirlpools, and warm island hospitality.

But no matter how beautiful a facility, it is really therapists like Everly that make a treatment so special. She understood that as a journalist, I was on my computer much of the time. And she seemed to sense, without being told, that my body was stressed even further from a major move to my new loft. All this pain and stress seemed to disappear after 50 magic moments of her ministrations.
