Fodor's Expert Review Anara Spa

The luxurious Anara Spa has all the equipment and services you expect from a top resort spa, along with a pleasant, professional staff. Best of all, it has indoor and outdoor areas that capitalize on the tropical locale and balmy weather, further distinguishing it from other hotel spas. Its 46,500 square feet of space includes the lovely Garden Treatment Village, an open-air courtyard with private thatched-roof huts, each featuring a relaxation area, misters, and an open-air shower in a tropical setting. Ancient Hawaiian remedies and local ingredients are featured in many treatments, such as a pineapple-papaya body hydration, a coffee body polish, and a traditional lomilomi massage. The open-air lava-rock showers are wonderful, introducing many guests to the delightful island practice of showering outdoors. The spa, which includes a full-service salon, adjoins the Grand Hyatt's legendary swimming pool.
