Oahu, Hawaii Spa Resorts
Hawaii conjures up thoughts of sunshine and ocean, surfing
and diving, golfing and dining and now some of the world’s
finest spas. The Hawaiian Islands offer different hotels and
spas for different tastes and budgets. To get an in-depth
description of many of the best spas in Hawaii, along with
their spa ingredients of Hawaii, I suggest a great new book
called, Hawaii’s Spa Experience – here you will learn more
about Hawaiian healing methods, as well as Asian traditions
and thoughts. The book has great reviews of the best spas
of Hawaii. Not only does it have great information, the pages
are scented with lavender, so it makes a great gift for your
favorite spa addict. To see some excerpts from the book and

If you happen to be traveling to Oahu, a visit to Waikiki
Beach is a must as it is the center of activity for Hawaii's
biggest industry; tourism. It is one of the world's greatest
resort playgrounds, featuring some great beaches and some
of the best hotels in the world. Visitors from all over the
universe flock there to enjoy the sun, the sand, the water,
and the best nightlife on the islands.
Besides enjoying the beaches, visitors to Honolulu take tours
of the countryside surrounding the downtown area. The tours
highlight the beautiful rainforests and fascinating volcanoes.
Animal and plant life thrive, and the scenery is lush. Several
museums, including the Bishop Museum, combine exhibits of
Hawaiian natural history with lessons about the history and
culture of its diverse peoples.
The Waikiki Aquarium is the third oldest public aquarium
in the United States and features many of Hawaii's most interesting
sea animals. The Honolulu Zoo house some of the unique mammals,
birds, and reptiles that inhabit the forests just outside
the city.
The history of Oahu is rich, as the islands have always attracted
people representing many cultures. Visitors can tour the Iolani
Palace, the residence of the last of the Hawaiian monarchs
(I suggest you make reservations before going). You can also
visit the Arizona Memorial, commemorating the destruction
of the Battleship Arizona during the Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor that brought the United States into World War II.
Honolulu exhibits the best of Hawaii in every way. From its
famous beaches to its natural preserves, this town attracts
millions of people from around the world. Many visitors have
stayed, helping to make Hawaii one of the most cosmopolitan
and diverse vacation destinations in the United States. The
thought of a visit to Honolulu is an experience to be happily
anticipated. The visit itself is a joy to recall.

Hawaii’s native plants, growing in the rich volcanic soil,
come bearing healing powers. The mixture of cultures has created
a very unique approach to medicine. It is a blend of Japanese,
Chinese, Polynesian and Western philosophy that make up their
dedication to health and wellness. Visitors come to Hawaii
to leave their world behind, to escape and rejuvenate.
Spas add another dimension, as the Hawaiians have always
approached life holistically. A vacation to Hawaii is usually
though of for relaxing and de-stressing. Committed to their
heritage, the Hawaiians create their treatments with the indigenous
ingredients of Polynesian and Island themes, using local fruits,
oils, plants and flowers to enhance the healing Hawaiian experience.
With these wonderful ingredients come the integration of their
healing and restorative philosophy.

Waikiki
In recent years, Waikiki’s hoteliers, retailers and other
businesses have spent millions of dollars in renovations and
new facilities, including lavish spas. Kalakaua Avenue is
the main street and one would think that they had landed in
Beverly Hills, with the rows of high-end stores, such as Tiffany
& Company, Gucci, Chanel and many more. Spas fit right into
this collection of fine hotels and restaurants.
