Grand Hyatt & The Anara Spa

Tomorrow we leave the Grand Hyatt in Kauai and hop to the big island of Hawaii. Our stay at this lovely resort has been extraordinary. We’ve had much fun playing in the lagoon and traversing the grounds. And, I’ve indulged at the Anara Spa . The word used by the spa to describe the experience is journey and it is profoundly accurate. The mango butter massage was divine and the coconut scalp treatment restored silkiness. What was particularly spectacular about the experience was the environment. The treatments were conducted in a private outdoor garden hale. Protected from the elements by a thatched roof and wooden folding doors, the setting allows for the natural breeze to enter. The single shower near the hale promises privacy. It’s tucked into a cove of black rock with the blue sky as the roof. The experience was memorable and I would venture back to Kauai for this spa alone. The renovations at the spa are recent and I expect the Anara to receive positive reviews as one of the world’s most luxurious .
