Anyone familiar with personal pampering and bodily rejuvenation in Maui knows about the Grand Wailea’s Spa Grande. Late 2015 offered 3 months of refresh and rejuvenation for the spa itself. Spa director, Sharon Ogawa stated “it was in need of some aloha. We wanted it to have a fresher, more modern feel.”
Some of the pampering that the century-old 50,000 square feet facility received included:
- New ohia wooden floors
- Paint and textiles
- Color palette
- New beds for treatment
- Relaxation area chaise lounges
In addition to overall changes, the Spa also implemented a “Healing Waters of Maui” theme by installing “five soaking baths in the spa’s famous Terme area (thermal), which also includes waterfall showers, Roman-style bath and Japanese ofuro (hot tub).”
Each of the baths embody a tribute to Maui’s oceans, clouds, waterfalls, rain forests and streams, infused with a signature bath salt and scent.
In addition to the facelift, the new year also brought in some new treatment therapies offered by the spa.
