The Honua Spa at Hotel Hana-Maui is a beautiful facility with a design that incorporates the natural surroundings of Hana. Tropical plants and a gentle ocean breeze inspire and relax.
Blanketed in tropical foliage from the outside, the Honua Spa gives way to clear ocean views once you have been escorted from the waiting area. A long, tranquil hot tub, outdoor sauna and padded lounge chaises decorate the scenery while the guest waits, wrapped in a waffle-knit robe, for the spa therapist.
The outdoor relaxation area provides privacy and a relaxing atmosphere before and after a spa treatment. The focal point of the outdoor spa garden is a huge jacuzzi connected to a pond with a view of the Pacific. The Watsu pool is also outside, shielded from the sun with canopy suspended over it.

Here are some of the most recent visitors’ reasoning for liking the resort :
A couple from Maryland, US names it “best place ever to have stayed in” and argues :
This place can only be described as complete perfection. After an exhaustive search, I came here with a group of 12 very different guests for my wedding and all guests described it as incredible, amazing and PERFECT! There is a new chef and the food was amazing. This place is the best of everything… compete privacy and relaxation, with the modern amenities only a phone call away. This is complete luxury compared to the abysmal tourist chain resorts on the West side of Maui. All the staff is outstanding. Do not miss!!!!!
A couple from Dallas, US also liked it and called it the “Perfect end to our honeymoon” :
We stayed at the Hotel Hana-Maui for 4 days at the end of our island-hopping honeymoon, and it was just perfect. The grounds are so tranquil and relaxing. I couldn’t get my husband away from the pool with the breath-taking views of the ocean. Our little cabin was wonderful and so private. It was nice to have a little refrigerator and coffee maker in the room. The food at the restaurant was great and the luau they performed with the staff was very entertaining. We also had massages at the Honua Spa….Oh my God!! Best massage I have ever had in my life!! The only bad part is that if you want to explore any other part of Maui, you have to drive the on the infamous “Road to Hana”, which is always an experience. However, there are lots of things to explore near Hana, like the Red Sand beach, black sand beach, and a bunch of waterfalls. The hotel also has activities, like horse-back riding, which was a great experience. The leader and his son were very knowledgeable and entertaining.
