We love a good massage. Seriously, though, what’s not<\/em> to love about a massage? Especially after a stressful week or a long haul flight. But there’s one\u00a0massage that rises above the rest in our spa books: Hawaii’s Lomilomi\u00a0massage. If you’ve witnessed it before, you can attest that it’s nothing short of pure magic. If not, take note below.<\/p>\n

For starters, it’s a native Hawaiian healing technique that has been passed down from generation to generation. Unlike a regular massage, the lomilomi\u00a0focuses on your entire body at once — with flowing strokes from the therapist’s forearms and elbows to help promote harmony from head to toe.<\/p>\n

And if you’re looking for\u00a0the best<\/em> place on the\u00a0islands to experience it firsthand, head over to\u00a0Laniwai Spa at Aulani<\/a>\u00a0on Oahu for their signature Lomilomi . And in case you’re still on the fence, we tapped Brett Perkins, the resort’s spa manager to give us five reasons to love it even more. (Rest assured you will walk out feeling like a million bucks or more).<\/p>\n

\"Lomi<\/a><\/p>\n

1. It’s serious R&R.\u00a0<\/strong>Passed down from generation to generation by healing k\u016bpuna (elders), this massage’s healing method guarantees relaxation.<\/p>\n

2. It’s completely customizable.\u00a0<\/strong>Lomilomi’s therapeutic technique is customized for your body\u2019s specific needs\u2014allowing each person to receive maximum benefits from the treatment specific to them.<\/p>\n

3. It helps fight fatigue.\u00a0<\/strong>Hand-carved Lomilomi sticks and warm river stones are used to release muscle tension and fatigue furthering the sense of \u201cahh\u201d in spa.<\/p>\n

4. Soothing scents.\u00a0<\/strong>Each guest is given the chance to personally select scented body oils and lotions. Each scent adds a different soothing sensation and elevates the massage experience by engaging your sense of smell.<\/p>\n

5. It replenishes the mind.\u00a0<\/strong>Overall, this technique replenishes the mind, body, and spirit with positive energy, increased circulation and muscle tone.<\/p>\n
