Our Newest Additions

Rainforest Haven

The Ancient Cedars Spa is proud to announce the opening of 'Rainforest Haven', a new treatment space designed to accommodate the newest additions to our Signature Family: Lomilomi and Kahi Loa. We have also expanded our repertoire of side-by-side treatments to include the Sacred Sea, Facials and Hot Stone Facials.


Kahi Loa

This treatments utilises light touch, guided imagery and chanting to bring harmony and a renewed sense of oneness with our environment and the natural elements around us: Fire, Water, Stone, Plant, Animal and Wind. A physically conservative treatment, it is ideal for the first time spa-goer and combines beautifully with traditional massage.


Lomilomi

Temple-style Lomilomi is traditionally used by Hawaiian shamans and healers as an initiation into wholeness of mind, body and spirit. The weaving of passive movement, stretching and rhythmic whole-body massage strokes, enhances relaxation and allows for the release of tension on many levels. The deeper meaning of Lomilomi is 'to remove that which does not belong', thus to awaken the senses to harmony— a little bit of Hawaiian magic on the shores of our own “Big Island”. Lomilomi is available as a 'single' (one practitioner) or 'duo' (two practitioners).

For Lomilomi treatments it is encouraged that contact lenses, make-up, jewellery and concern about oil in your hair be abandonded in favour of truly enjoying this unique treatment.
