Waikiki's Halekulani Launches New Spa Treatment

Waikiki's Halekulani Launches New Spa Treatment
The 105-minute ode to Hawaii's indigenous beautifying ingredients and healing rituals brings a sense of peace and wellbeing to the mind, face and body. The facial is offered as part of a package with the La`ikū Waterless Pedicure to offer guests a Hawaiian beauty experience from head to toe.

“La ̀̀ikÅ« means great calm in Hawaiian. We wanted to create a treatment that allowed each client to smell, touch and feel the beauty, energy and healing power of the islands,” says Spa Operations Manager Kayla Emblom. “This new signature facial brings a sense of peace and well-being from beginning to end and is an exemplification of Halekulani's best.”

Exclusive to the La ̀̀ikÅ« treatments, the new signature facial features energy healing with handpicked cone- and fan-shaped shells to “pick” and “scoop” the energy blockage along the spine. Warm shells are placed on Chakra points to release energy blockage along the spine, décolleté, neck and face.

The facial continues with a steam, thorough cleaning, application of masks and other complexion rejuvenating skincare from Hawaii's own Pure & True Organic Beauty skincare collection. Indigenous ingredients such as deep-sea water, blue-green algae extract, hibiscus and papaya are applied while tension-relieving massage is delivered to the arms, legs, hands, neck and shoulders.

As with all facial treatments offered at SpaHalekulani, the La ̀̀ikū experiences begin on the serene spa terrace with the SpaHalekulani's Signature Foot Pounding Ritual and concludes with an offering of the spa's coconut rooibos tea and sweet snack served in the tranquil outdoor terrace.

Guests may also choose to add the new La ̀̀ikū Waterless Pedicure as an a la carte service to enhance their facial experience. The first of its kind, the eco-friendly Waterless Pedicure is offered in the spa's new Zero-Gravity chairs by Human Touch. Designed to place the body in a virtually weightless position, the Zero-Gravity chairs help relieve back pain and sore muscles. The pedicure includes the La ̀̀ikū natural shell healing, massage, exfoliation and a rejuvenating mask to pamper tired feet.

The La ̀̀ikū facial is available as an a la carte experience for $230 / 105min or can be paired with the La ̀̀ikū Waterless Pedicure as part of a special Mother's Day offer ($330 / 180min total). All guests who experience the La ̀̀ikū Facial or the complete La ̀̀ikū facial and waterless pedicure package will take home a mini at-home facial kit from Pure & True.
