Royal Lahaina Resort & Bungalows has opened The Spa at Royal Lahaina, a new oceanfront wellness facility on Kaanapali Beach. The spa opening completes the property's multimillion-dollar renovation project.
The new facility includes five private treatment suites; an open-air, oceanfront serenity lanai; and a manicure and pedicure beauty bar. The spa offers massages, facials, body treatments and beauty services. Signature treatments include the Aloha Body Polish, which uses a locally made sugar scrub.
"The opening of The Spa at Royal Lahaina is a meaningful milestone in our resort's journey of renewal," said Nicholas Kuhns, general manager of Royal Lahaina Resort & Bungalows. "The new space is designed to serve as a wellness sanctuary where guests can experience the spirit of Maui through healing treatments and a deep connection to the island's culture. Royal Lahaina has undergone a remarkable transformation, and we are proud to usher in a new era that honors the resort's legacy while elevating the experience for today's traveler."
Honolulu-based architects The Vanguard Theory designed the spa interior, drawing inspiration from Hawaii's native Ohia lehua plant. The design incorporates natural textures, soft neutrals and contemporary furnishings.
"The Spa's new beachfront location offers guests stunning ocean views, where they can enjoy treatments while watching whales glide past,” said Michelle Jaime, founding principal and creative director of The Vanguard Theory. “The tropical, modern design seamlessly connects the newly renovated resort, creating a continuum of serenity amid a stylish retreat."
The spa opening follows the resort's comprehensive renovation, which included reimagined private bungalows; refreshed public spaces, including the lobby and two oceanfront pools; and two new dining venues: Lahaina Noon and Pineapple Moon. The property also added The Branches, an outdoor gathering space with nightly live music from local performers.
Additional wellness amenities include complimentary sunrise yoga, hula lessons, watersport rentals and access to tennis and pickleball courts. The resort recently resurfaced its tennis courts and hired RSPA Elite Tennis Professional Cathleen E. Nicoloff as its head teaching professional.
