Maui's New Alii Spa From Classic Resorts

The renovation and expansion of Kaanapali Alii's most important amenities include a second pool, another whirlpool spa, children's pool and a 3,000 square foot fitness center. All scheduled to open in time for the holidays. But there's more.

Over the years many return guests of Kaanapali Alii have asked for spa services right on property. Of course they listened and now -- here it is! The much-anticipated Alii Spa will open in January with private treatment rooms and professional massage and facial services.

What to expect? A menu of pleasures! After air travel your body needs relaxation and revitalization and the Alii Spa is ready with specialized massage therapies to fit your personal vacation lifestyle. Choose a Sports Massage, a Alii Massage using heat and your choice of aromatherapy oils, or the uniquely Hawaiian "Pohaku" hot stone massage that combines a full body massage with the use of hot basalt stones to melt muscular tension.

Facials at the Alii Spa are designed for both men and women and utilize organic ingredients including fruit, vegetable and herbal skincare products. Selections include the signature aromatherapy facial and the Royal Pure Skin Facial that includes a deep purifying and pampering skin treatment. You start to feel good just thinking about it.
