SPA KEAUHOU
As the historical playground of Hawaii’s royalty, Keauhou has long been known as a place to rejuvenate and revitalize the spirit. This tradition of healing will be nurtured at Spa Keauhou. The design of the facility will make use of the resort’s natural surroundings and tranquil environment overlooking the bay, and Hawaii’s unique cultural and healing traditions will be incorporated into the services. Massage, facial and other spa treatments will take place in private open air "tea hut" treatment rooms. In addition, the spa facility will include a fitness center with free weights, aerobic/dance floor and outdoor showers.
CULTURAL ASPECTS AND ACTIVITIES
The vision for the hotel is to bring back the Hawaii of old and showcase the historical significance of the Keauhou area. To accomplish this, the hotel will work closely with the community to gain input and guidance regarding the cultural and botanical aspects of the area. The hotel will consult with local cultural experts, adopt local hula halaus and canoe clubs, and possibly even involve Big Island school children in the naming of the suites, restaurants and meeting facilities of the hotel. There will be a focus on the gardens at the center of the property as a cultural oasis, and moolelo (storytelling) will be one of the featured activities in the gardens. Guests will enjoy special hiking and bicycling tours conducted by local experts, and the hotel will also offer some unique historical activities such as traditional Hawaiian sports and classes in Hawaiian martial arts.
