Does The Grand Wailea Have A Spa?

The Grand Wailea spa is one of the centerpieces of the Grand Wailea resort, designed to offer guests and visitors a chance to relax and unwind.

Mohalu by Spa Grande is described as a personal escape and has a range of treatments available to take you away from your stresses.

The Grand Wailea spa has undergone its own rejuvenation in recent years, transforming into the Mohalu by Spa Grande.

In the update, the spa was moved to a more intimate venue, away from the crowds that can often be found at the Grand Wailea.

This allows guests to immerse themselves in the rejuvenating atmosphere that Mohalu aims to cultivate.

What Treatments Are Available At The Grand Wailea Spa?

The treatments at Mohalu by Spa Grande are designed to be relaxing and rejuvenating. There are options for couples (like honeymooners), single men and women, and even a few treatments for keiki.

The focus of the spa is overall wellness, and connecting with the mana of the Maui environment.

The signature treatments at Mohalu are inspired by the Hawaiian surroundings, blending traditional Maui therapies and ingredients with new understandings of the human body.

Massage therapies by Mohalu can release the last of your tension, with various methods used to ease stress and encourage relief throughout the body. The massage therapies are hugely popular, with luxurious ingredients and thoughtful staff creating an exceptional experience.

Ideal if you’ve come to Maui for a special occasion, and you want to look at your best.

What About The Water Treatments?

One of the main draws at Mohalu by Spa Grande at the Grand Wailea has always been the water treatments.

The hydrotherapy facilities have attracted visitors time and time again, with return customers being drawn back to the soothing sessions.

Hydrotherapy at the Grand Wailea isn’t always available, depending on health and safety considerations. 

If you are able to book a hydrotherapy treatment, it comes highly recommended. If you can’t, try and head to a quiet spot on the Makena coast and see what the water can do for you.

As you might expect from the Grand Wailea, luxury is at the forefront. Every part of the spa has been finished to perfection, with modern design blending with a natural Maui charm that seems immediately welcoming.

There’s a simplicity to the design that helps to build that intimate atmosphere, and never manages to feel overwhelming.

Despite being at the heart of one of the largest resorts in one of the busiest parts of Maui, the spa feels like an Oasis. And even though it is one of the biggest spas on Maui, the space remains intimate.

One of the most popular services offered is the Honey Macadamia Nut Indulgence, and this shows what the spa does well.

The ingredients, treatments, and methodology draw heavily from the surrounding environment.

Not only does it give a local spin to the standard treatments, but it ensures a freshness that enhances the overall therapy.

Anything To Know Before You Go?

Grand Wailea recommends turning up at least 30 minutes in advance of your spa treatment, so you can relax into the surroundings.

A trip to the spa is typically open to even non-guests, meaning you don’t have to book a stay at the Grand Wailea to enjoy the service.

However, a spa treatment only grants you access to the spa. There’s no opportunity to use the pool if you aren’t a guest.
