Award-winning Forbes Travel Guide Four Star SpaHalekulani in Hawaii features authentic and traditional Polynesian therapeutic rituals, along with a new Embracing the East menu. SpaHalekulani is committed to health and well-being with monthly Living Well Lectures conducted by a resident lifestyle coach.

Topics range from eating well to aromatherapy to living mindfully. SpaHalekulani is also committed to sustainability, reducing its carbon footprint and promoting eco-friendly salon practices, and is the first and only spa in Hawaii to be recognized by Green Circle Salons as one of the greenest salons in the world.

One of SpaHalekulani’s signature treatments is acupuncture – the 2000-year practice of oriental medicine – which is a part of the spa’s Embracing the East menu. It is believed that the body is based on nature and that imbalances are caused by being out of alignment with nature’s cycles and the natural meridians in the body. A licensed acupuncturist can help stimulate the body’s ability to heal, enhancing the client’s day and helping them experience a more balanced way of being. Acupuncture can also address detoxification, digestion, jetlag, sleep enhancement, stress, and pain. $195 for 50 minutes
