The Royal Hawaiian is known by its return guests as a rejuvenation mecca, located on the healing waters of Waikiki.  With the addition of Abhasa Waikiki Spa in 2001, guests of “The Pink Palace of the Pacific” can now receive a lavish spa treatment in the hotel’s serene and lush tropical garden area.  Abhasa, which means "illusion" in Sanskrit, offers an array of treatments from luxurious massages to invigorating body treatments and deluxe facials.  The traditional Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage is a favorite among visitors seeking the ultimate in pampering.   For information or reservations, please call (808) 922-8200 or visit www.abhasa.com.

In 2007, Abhasa Spa will use Kerstin Florian, a European line of progressive spa products. “We are very proud to be the exclusive spa in Hawaii offering Kerstin Florian products and invigorating treatments based on the line,” said Peter Georgeson, spa director.

In conjunction with the new line of products, Abhasa has revamped its menu to incorporate the line into its services.  Among the services offered by Abhasa are body cocoons, body scrubs and facials, including the Signature Caviar Facial, a decadent, luxurious treatment, utilizing caviar products to infuse skin with age defying nutrients that smooth lines and improve texture.

The Abhasa Waikiki Spa utilizes Hawaii’s natural healing environment, promoting the ultimate in beauty and rejuvenation.  The spa features natural, organic treatments to relax and heal the body, mind and spirit.  The luxury resort spa occupies a 7,000 square-foot space in the right wing of the hotel.  Abhasa also offers salon services such as hair care, color and highlighting, make-up application and lessons, waxing, and manicures and pedicures.  The spa hours are from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
