Make sure to make a reservation (you can reserve 45 days ahead). When you enter the aromatic smell of lavender and fruit welcomes you. The music was very relaxing and the volume was perfect. You are greeted, checked in and given a tour of the spa and facilities. It's like walking into another world. I scheduled a 50 minutes signature lomi massage and my massage therapist Chenoa was beyond amazing! She listened to my concerns and focused on those areas the most. I could tell from the moment she started that she was going to give the best massage! At the end of the massage I was given a small dark chocolate candy with a piece of dried banana and a cup of water at the end of my session. They had a sauna, steam room, 2 different heated pools with different temperatures, cold plunge, jacuzzi, and my favorite hydrotherapy. There were 2 different relaxing rooms, one was inside with a cool massaging chair and another open air room where the small snacks were. They offered natural flavored waters, hot teas, madeleine cookies, chocolate dipped macaroons, and apples. I would highly recommend Chenoa for your massage sessions! Also, the manager Jenna was very friendly and patient. They have both been with Aulani since they opened! Aloha & Mahalo! read more

We had a couple's lomi lomi massage. It was great! The amenities are amazing. Unfortunately they limit patrons to an hour before and an hour after their treatment. Most places give access for the whole day. I'd recommend the spa to have ppl whisper when they are talking to each other in the hallway. It was overall a nice couple's experience. I love the showers and jacuzzi's. I just wish I had more time to enjoy it all. They also have a relaxation room with massage chairs that I didn't have time to sit in. read more

I've had the pleasure of visiting numerous spas, but my experience at Laniwai Spa at Aulani takes the cake! The booking process was seamless through the app, and from the moment I stepped into the facilities, I was struck by their beauty, warmth, and inviting atmosphere. Having access to the outdoor pool area for an hour prior to my spa treatment. The multiple temperature pools were the perfect way to unwind and mentally prepare for my massage. The Lolo signature massage, which included hot stones, was absolute bliss. My masseuse, Wen, created a warm and relaxing atmosphere, and the attention to detail was impressive - from choosing between four different lotions for the massage to the motivation stone selection at the end. ‍ Quick tip: Plan ahead for the outdoor water lounge access which is 1 hr before your treatment. read more

January 2025 - My mom and I treated ourselves to 80-minute Lomi Lomi massages at Laniwai during our last trip to Aulani. From the moment we walked in, it was a relaxing, lovely experience. We didn't have much time to enjoy the gardens before our services as we upgraded to longer massages at the last minute, but the staff informed us we could stay after to enjoy the pools, rain showers, cold plunge and hot tub, sauna, and steam room afterwards. My massage itself was wonderful and I appreciated the choice to pick my music and lotion scent - I only wish Disney music was a choice as well! My massage therapist also asked me about pressure several times throughout. The 80 minutes went by very quickly! I enjoyed the gardens and steam room after my massage, and enjoyed some of the infused waters and light snacks too! I highly recommend making time to do this if staying at Aulani or if you are in the area. I'll be back next time I visit. read more

Tried the spas at The Grand Floridian and The Grand Californian and Laniwai is THE best Disney spa that I've been to so far! The facilities are the best. Outdoor reflexology path, hydro therapy showers, cold plunge, hot tubs, sauna and steam room with free drinks, fruit and small pastries in the lounging area! As soon as you near the spa you smell the aroma of "relaxation" and are greeted by friendly, knowledgeable cast members! The spa is a tranquil retreat that transports you into a peaceful hideaway from the bustling resort. Not cheap, but did you ever find a cheap Disney resort spa?! We always get the couples massage and come early to take advantage of the awesome facilities! I love the steam room! THE best Disney spa ever! read more

The extra part of the spa is that you get to use the hot jacuzzi and plunge pool next to it to stimulate your circulation. They tell you to show up an hour before your appointment to experience the outdoor facilities. The only thing was, I could smell fried food in the garden, so they should vent the food from the restaurant somewhere else. There are also rocks that you could walk on for a stimulating foot massage. I booked the Lomi lomi signature massage: Awesome massage, long strokes with hot stone. You can choose from several scents: Lavender, pineapple, and some other ones I don't recall. I chose the pineapple of course because Hawaii. I loved the scent so much I bought a bottle of lotion, which is the Maui pineapple brand they sell everywhere in the resorts. So relaxing, so luxurious. read more

I came here with my daughter to enjoy a day of pampering and relaxation. Everyone from Aulani was so friendly!! From the staff at valet to the concierge who greet you with "welcome home," to everyone at Laniwai Spa. Once you are greeted at the front desk you are welcomed to take a seat and wait for your "lady," to come and get you. Like all the other reviews, you are asked to set an intention and pick a stone which you can later release into the reflection "pool." Your attendant then takes you on a tour of the facility, given a locker where you can set your own lock. From an indoor lounging area with semi-private chaises you are invited to have some tea and a light snack either before or after your spa treatment to the outdoor amenities of a three tempered hot soaking tubs to a cool bath and varying shower heads that they call "hydrotherapy," Laniwai has something for everyone. They have a steam room and a sauna, loaded showers and changing rooms as well as a large shared vanity that you can finish off at. The massage was wonderful! Pressure was perfect and very little talking and unnecessary movements in the room. Definitely a very relaxing experience! Once done, you are invited to take your time and to enjoy the facility at your leisure. read more

The amenities at this spa are unlike any other spa on this island. I've gotten countless massages at many different hotels and have a massage membership somewhere else on the island but love this place for the amazing amenities! They have different plunge pools, different outdoor water pressure showers, a eucalyptus steam room, and massage chairs with blankets! They also offer delicious waters and pastries! My massage therapist was also great and took care of the knots I wanted to get taken care of a few weeks ago with a different massage therapist I texted all my girlfriends after i left and suggested a girls spa day there! Overall I highly recommend this place! read more

I scheduled an appointment online hoping to get my wife to enjoy a spa day for her birthday. It was easy, but I guess they are very busy that often times the earliest reservation is a week from the day you are booking. I thought I wouldn't have any issues.... I was wrong. I called Laniwai Spa via their number to ask them a few questions to better prepare my wife for her visit. I GOT STUCK ON HOLD FOR 20 MINUTES. I had to hang up and call again because I had another commitment to get to, but I was on hold again for ANOTHER 20 MINUTES! Disney... I get you are busy and probably that popular that you can't answer the phone but you guys are slacking at your call center. I finally got my call connected when I tried a third time and the person I spoke to, Angela, was helpful. But then I ran into more problems... apparently their Salon that takes care of hair and nails is closed on Sunday and Monday so the pedicure that I made an appointment for online wasn't even available. What I don't understand is why even offer that service on the day you are closed and why not inform your customers on your website of your hours and days of operation. They tried to offer me to schedule for a different service but we were not interested in it. STRIKE 2 Disney... Since my wife decided that she did not want to continue with her reservation she wanted me to cancel it. OH BOY HERE WE GO AGAIN WITH DISNEY'S SHITTY CALL CENTER. I called and was on hold again for 20 minutes.... I kid you not! Not once, not twice, but three times! At that point I tried calling another line with Disney Aulani to see if I could get some help and all the person offered was they offer me the direct line to the Spa.... Which was the freaking same number I was trying to call and was on hold for a long time. Sorry for my rant but dang Disney you need to fix this issue because if the only way I can cancel or change my appointment is by calling you guys then forget about it. I am sure the spa is amazing from the other reviews, but sorry Disney I think you lost my patronage. read more

My family and I vacation at Aulani every summer and when I'm here, I treat myself to a Lomi Lomi Massage. The past couple of times, I've gotten an 80 minute massage versus a 50 minute one and it's worth every cent!!! My masseuse was Atsuko and she was AWESOME!!! She worked out every knot in my body from head to toe. She also made sure the pressure was just right and checked in on me throughout the massage. Be sure to arrive an hour ahead of your scheduled appointment so you're able to enjoy the extra amenities the spa has to offer. After I checked in, a Cast Member came to greet me and gave me water and then had me pick a stone. On my way back to the dressing room, she had me close my eyes, make a wish and toss my stone into the pool of water in the center of the spa. Then she walked me back to the dressing room. She then showed me around and I got changed and situated in a relaxation room. There are three of them: one for women, men and a co-ed one. That's where Atsuko greeted me and walked me back to the massage room. The 80 minutes flew by. Don't hesitate to treat yourself at this spa! I highly recommend a massage here! read more

I'm always down for a massage especially when it comes with extra amenities to enjoy! I did appreciate the spa allowing my husband and I to come even earlier than an hour before our appointment so we could relax & explore the spa because we literally had to be out ASAP. With that said, the ambiance was great and offered a lot of privacy because we were one of the last couples to receive services. The only downside to that was feeling like we were hella rushed at the end. Definitely on the pricier side but we're all about experiences and this was our first time staying at Aulani... Disney... Hawaii. Enough said. My only wish was that the staff was consistent with the pressure, I felt like I kept having to ask for more pressure & my husband had no complaints about his massage. Our moms who had a service earlier the same day had the same experience, my MIL had no complaints and my mom thought it was a waste of money. read more

First time staying at Aulani to celebrate hubby's birthday and Babymoon. I've decided to get 80mins prenatal message. I made appointment about 2 weeks prior of arrival and glad I was able to get afternoon session. Wish I would take more pictures but I was so amazed with the customer services provided by everyone at the spa and the ambience of this place. Everything so clean, smell amazing with Hawaiian aroma and the set up of the rooms from preparation of changing clothes, bathrooms and showers also waiting room area with fancy orthopedic chairs while we waited for our massage therapy called us in. Simply amazing! I fell asleep throughout the massage and my tech was very professional. Definitely recommend this place. It's not cheap but you get that wonderful experience for every cents you spent! read more

I've been to Laniwai Spa multiple times over the last decade--I went back again today and was just blown away again at how great it is. I've been to many spas throughout the US, some of which charge twice as much for a massage, and are half as good. The amenities are outstanding--since the last time I was there, they added massage chairs to their women's relaxation lounge! And my massage with Erica was one of the best I've ever had--she was amazing! No trip to West Oahu is complete without a trip to Laniwai, IMO. read more

Love me some spa and have been yo many across the islands but this was my first time at Laniwai, Aulani. I've heard some complaints that this spa is unkind to kamaaina but I did not find that to be the case. However, they are very strict on how much time you can spend at the spa. They allow check in 1 hour before your service, which really isn't long enough considering that it takes a while to get checked in and settled. Plus the amenities are indoor and outdoor so it would be great to spend some time there. I think that's my only complaint. Otherwise, I loved it, great amenities, super awesome massage and an overall sweet service. read more

The customer service here is excellent. All the staff is friendly and cheerful. Exactly what you would expect from a Disney establishment. My sister and I got gel manicures. The girls were great. Courteous and thorough. My nails look great. They include tax and tip in the charge so total was about $187. Pretty steep... but it's a resort in Hawaii! read more

Laniwai Spa - Day Spas Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

Every time I visit Oahu, I make sure to book a Lomi Lomi massage here! They are just the best of allll the spas out in Oahu. I love how when you enter the spa, you choose a rock with a message and throw into the water aka "giving back to the earth." My message this time was, "Harmony." My massage therapist was amazing! I had a sore lower back from carrying my two year old. She applied medium pressure and I felt my body melt into the table. I was sooo relaxed. Towards the end, she did these stretches with my legs to relieve the pressure in my lower back. I really appreciated that! This time, I really took my time with the amenities because it was my birthday! After the massage, I spent time in the steam room which smelled of lavender. After exiting the steam room, you'll find eucalyptus infused cold wash cloths to refresh yourself. I relaxed in the hydrotherapy garden where you'll find beautiful hot tubs, a dipping pool and shower area with multiple shower heads surrounded by palm trees and beds to sun bathe in. To top it off, I relaxed in the Relaxation Room where there are a massage beds that you can adjust the speed and location the massaging will be on your back. There's a good amount of lockers and showers with a vanity that provides essentials like disposable hairbrushes, mouthwash, shampoo & conditioner, and SPF. If you're skeptical to come here because of price, just go. It's WORTH IT! read more

From the moment you walk in, it is aloha. My welcome host provided a gracious tour, superb customer service, hydration immediately and thoughtful explanation of the design elements of the spa, why the laid out floor plan is so important, which is what i've fallen in love with Hawaii. Amenities including the hydrotherapy areas, cold dip, hot tub, light refreshments and the delicious infused waters made my spa visit wonderful. Chenoa did an exquisite job of working out all the crinkles in my Lomi Lomi 50 min massage! The special part of this massage was the focus stone. If money was no object and I could fly back for Chenoa's hands I certainly would! I did not stay on property on this trip so the spa validated my valet service for the day! I look forward to return visit to Oahu and the the Ko Olina area One less star as I had difficulty locating from the lobby area read more

When you go on vacation do you ever think about getting your hair cut? Well you should! If you are staying in Ko Olina, then I definitely recommend you book an appointment with the wonderfully talented Pascal at the Laniwai salon! They are located on the 1st floor at the Disney Aulani resort. Pascal is the most talented stylist that has ever cut my hair. It is magical what he is able to do with my fine/thin hair and he somehow gives it texture and body without thinning it out. It is amazing! It is priceless to be able to sit down in a stylist chair without worrying and that definitely happens at this salon. Talking to Pascal is like talking to a friend. He listens to what you want to do and then he works his magic. He finds the best way to cut and style your hair based on how your hair grows and the thickness of your hair. It's so reassuring and enjoyable! I know that your time on vacation is valuable but it is absolutely worth taking an hour from your day to visit Pascal. You will be thankful that you did! Whether you are visiting Ko Olina or whether you live here, you should go see Pascal. read more

Use the "wet" bag for your bathing suits and arrive 1 hour b4 your massage to get full opportunity to experience the hydrotherapy garden! read more

I am not really a spa guy; my wife made this appointment for us however it was very nice and relaxing. Little pricy at $185 and 20% gratuity is added automatically. The process is a bit of a ritual. We are guided to the locker room where you store your clothes and put on a robe. Go into a relaxing area and have healthy snacks such as fruit, mini muffins and coconut water while you wait for your massage. The outdoor hydrotherapy garden is very refreshing. You can jump into a very cold tub more like freezing, then a very hot tub. This is supposed to be good for your regulatory system, immune system and increase circulation. Not sure about all that but felt great after. Had Lomilomi massage using Hana Pohaki (heated stones) it was so relaxing. My massage therapist was very pleasant. I chose the coconut lotion and mellow Hawaiian music was played. Not very experienced getting massages but this was wonderful. Comparing notes with my wife, she was asked what type of music she wanted and if she wanted medium or firm massage. I was not asked; I would have gone with firm massage. Since I was wearing a robe, no pictures posted. read more

I have admittedly never had a spa treatment before; everyone says they're amazing but for one reason or another I have never found myself in the situation of getting one - some day though. Anyway, I heard so many great things about Laniwai Spa, and these Yelp reviews really sell it hard. Because it was a last-minute decision on my part to look into their services, I was struggling to carve time into my itinerary for a treatment. However, I noticed that they offered barber services - including beard trims. I just had my hair cut before coming to Hawaii, but my beard was left too long for my preference and was starting to bother me. A 15-minute trim sounded perfect, so I booked an appointment and made my way over to Laniwai. My walk to Laniwai wasn't far since it's located in Disney's Aulani Resort, where I was staying. At the time of this review, the spa is only open to Aulani guests, as are all the other amenities at the resort due to COVID. Walking in I was immediately greeted by the front desk where a number of cast members were stationed. I checked in and was led to the salon where I had a short wait for the barber. The service was great - Pascal was awesome and really took the time to thoroughly trim my beard. He was from Paris and I'm from New York, so we were able to fill the time with a lot of conversation (trim permitting). Because my beard grows quickly, I asked him to make it on the shorter side, which he did but left enough so that it still looked like a full beard. In the end I was totally satisfied with it - my powers were restored. Checkout was easy, and overall I had a great visit. While $25 plus added gratuity may seem extravagant for a beard trim, you have to remember you're on Disney property. Moreover, Pascal did a great job and the entire aura of the space really heightened the experience. Now that I dipped my toes, I would definitely consider returning here for a spa treatment if I found myself at Aulani again. read more

With the price of a massage, you get access to their spa area for a few hours. The Disney resort was the busiest place we went during our vacation and it was nice to be able to spend time at the spa where access is very limited and there were no kids yelling and running around. The massage was nice but not outstanding. If you have the money and the time to spend, this is a nice activity, but not special to Hawaii per se. read more

Our daughter gifted hubs and I a most generous early anniversary gift- signature lomilomi massages for each one of us. It was hub's first massage so he was eagerly anticipating it with I think some nervousness. Last night he asked me what he should wear to the spa and garden pool area. The gracious hospitality continues from when you enter their Laniwai doorway until you leave. Our daughter had prepared $50 gift cards worth $400 to cover our treatments. The spa automatically adds on a 20% gratuity and tax. Hubs doesn't know the name of his male massage therapist. I knew where to find him afterwards, in the spa snack room. The first thing he points out is chocolate. While I spent a few minutes in the relaxation room's massage loungers he was scoping out the many snacks. Shenoa was beyond excellent. Her hands, pineapple scented lotion and hot stones felt like silk gliding over my svelte bod. ( don't laugh!) At least she made me feel that way although I told her when she said turnover, " like a whale turning over." Bless her heart, she did not giggle at my comment. Such a luxurious service, can I come monthly? I've tried so many massages on cruise ships and at hotels or spas around the world and Shenoa was outstandingly THE BEST. read more

#1 for 2020 Wow! I'm amazed with over the top ambiance, quality, customer service, experience, plus a plethora of amenities! One of the Cast Members took me on a tour about Laniwai Spa and Kula Wai. Inside Laniwai Spa, you'll be asked to close your eyes and pick a pebble. One of the pebbles I chose was strength, also translated into Hawaiian word, ikaika. As we walked to the middle, I got to toss ikaika pebble back into the wai and see light illuminate. Cast Member will also show you access to amenities, locker room, complimentary robe and slippers, changing room, bathroom, showers, pamper room, two relaxation rooms. Kula Wai is the only outdoor hydrotherapy garden on O'ahu. Dress in swimwear and bask in all water-related activities from taking a shower, enjoying outdoor hydrotherapy garden, cool pools, jacuzzi, cold plunge, and lounge chairs. Walk bare feet on the path of rocks while getting both feet massaged at the same time. I'm able to immerse in Hawaiian culture and be present in the moment. There's an outdoor shower to use before entering any water activity, complimentary water, and choice of a sugar scrub to take home for future use, either Coconut Vanilla or Plumeria. I decided to spend a few hours enjoying all the amenities at Kula Wai, and in Laniwai Spa, to utilize sauna, steam room, restroom, and showers. I ordered lunch via phone, pressed one key, and was informed by kitchen staff to wait about 40 minutes in Kula Wai and Server will find you. Sure enough, I waited for 25 minutes, my Turkey Club with Maui Chips and one dill pickle arrived. After lunch, I made one last trip to the restroom, headed to relaxation room with heated chairs and remote. I could literally sleep in that chair. I also lounged in relaxation room with pineapple infused water, mini oatmeal cookie, fruits, nuts, and candies after my skin yoga facial and before Waiwai Lomi Lomi Massage. I felt rejuvenated and relaxed after having my Skin Yoga Facial and Waiwai Lomi Lomi Massage. Great to run into a familiar face. Must experience this opportunity once in a lifetime! Highly recommend for self-care, ladies get together, and/or couples retreat. I will definitely return at my leisure. I'm in love with the amenities and services! read more

Laniwai is a calming oasis in the bustling Aulani Resort. My experience was blissful from start to finish. Upon entering the spa area, you are given a refreshing cup of pineapple water and greeted by a beautiful wall waterfall. I was asked to close my eyes and select a stone from a bowl. This stone was to be my mantra for my experience. On one side of the stone was my word in English, and on the other side was my word in Hawaiian. As you walk a little further, there is a pool. I was asked to make a wish and add my stone to the pool. I was then given a tour of the relaxation areas. There were 3 pools of varying temperatures, 90 degrees to 104 degrees, a cold plunge pool, a reflexology pathway to walk upon barefoot, 6 outdoor showers, chairs to lounge and relax in the sun or shade, a sauna, and a eucalyptus steam room. In the waiting room, there are also light snacks such as fruit, mini muffins, and granola bites. Be sure to arrive a hour early in order to enjoy the relaxation area and unwind. If you are in the relaxation area, someone will come out and politely inform you your appointment will begin shortly instead of having to be mindful of the time. When it was time for my treatment, I was taken to my room. Each treatment room is named after a type of rainbow. Once in the room, I was given the option to choose my music, Hawaiian, ocean sounds, bird sounds, or spa music. I was also asked about how I preferred the temperature of the table. For my treatment, I had the triathlon facial. This facial reduces fine lines and wrinkles, improves skin tone and texture, and rejuvenates sun-damaged skin. I also received a shoulder, arm, and cranial massage. The products used smelled heavenly, and the experience was so relaxing that I almost fell asleep on more than one occasion. After my facial, my therapist gave me a fruit gummy and a glass of water. Upon checking out of the spa, I was also given a small bag with bath salts containing the word from my stone. My experience at Laniwai was tranquil bliss, and I highly recommend you make this a part of your vacation at Aulani. read more

Quite pricy, but you're paying extra for being on a Disney campus and for the all-encompassing spa experience. When you first enter Laniwai, a guide will come out to meet you. She'll take you down a beautiful, dimly lit hallway filled with the trickling sound of the indoor waterfall, and will present you with a bowl filled with smooth stones. You close your eyes and pick one out -- the Hawaiian word carved on the rock is sort of like your fortune for the day. (I got "ikaika", meaning "strength.") Then you walk into a tall room with a wishing pool in the center -- this was gorgeous! There's a single glass teardrop hanging from the ceiling, from which drops a slow, single drop of water into the pool. You make a wish and gently place your stone in the water. Then, the guide takes you on a tour of the facility. You leave your belongings in the locker room and then she shows you where the bathroom is and around the outdoor area. You change clothes and get to soak in the various outdoor hot tubs (and really fun/funny massage showers!) for a while before heading in for your massage. (Unfortunately, our time was limited due to current covid safety policies.) Make sure to grab a cold aromatherapy towel on your way in towards the bathrooms! After that, they paired us up with our masseuses and we went into individual rooms. I had the signature lomi lomi, with hot rocks. Honestly, it wasn't the BEST massage I've ever had, but it was good. The woman who did my massage was nice to talk to, knowledgable about her craft, and had the right balance of talking and silence. After we were done, we would have loved to relax on some of the comfortable seats, but we had to leave relatively quickly because of covid time limitations. Out in the lobby, they gave us bath salts that matched each of the Hawaiian words we got on the stones earlier. Overall, I don't know if I'd go back unless I was bringing someone who I wanted to impress with a real "spa experience" (like my mom, maybe). But it was definitely a nice experience! read more

I highly recommend a massage or body treatment here. The amenities are nice. Definitely take advantage of the quiet relaxation pools, sauna, steam room, hot tub, and cold plunge! Yes it's a Disney resort full of families, but it's so nice to take a break from the kiddos and the busy-ness on the rest of the resort! It's so peaceful and staff is friendly. I've had a couple Lomi Lomi massages and the Wai LomiLomi-Tropical Rainforest body exfoliation treatment all with Jenna. She truly has a magical touch. I like lighter massages, my aunt likes deep tissue and mother-in-law likes medium pressure. We've all had massages from Jenna and absolutely loved our experiences. I'm normally not a massage girl, but when I visit Aulani, I have to get a massage now! She's so sweet and made us all very comfortable. Laniwai is lucky to have her! Thank you Laniwai for a great experience! read more

Aulani is a busy resort. Book a spa service in advance and take advantage of the outdoor hydrotherapy garden the hour before. Shower outdoors, sit in the sun, plunge in the cold water and soak in one of their many pools. They'll find you in the garden and direct you to a calming room before your service. The friendliest staff works here and I was so close to purchasing one of their incredibly soft robes. I'll be back for one next time! read more

I make it a point to come here every time we visit our DVC timeshare at Disney Aulani. I would say I have been about 3 or 4 times now- the reason I share this is CONSISTENCY!! The last time being January of 2020 right before COVID hit so I can not comment on how things have been impacted in the pandemic, however, EVERY single time, every single person, in every single capacity is ALWAYS on pointe! I love the outdoor showers and loungers, it's so tropical and lush, mixing my own salts, picking a stone felt cheesy at first but ended up really resonating with me.... everything is so clean, so lovely. Also, after being with my kids 24/7 it's literally heaven on earth for so many reasons! But hey next year they are all old enough for kids club!! If you are staying at Aulani, go get a massage and relax you deserve it! Lani wai is better than the surrounding spas and it's on property!! read more
