She loves hiking, snorkeling, locally-grown coffee, and finding the best acai bowl on Oahu.
As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
Hawaii has been regarded as the least stressed state in America for several years, with approximately 70 percent of residents saying they feel absolutely no stress or anxiety. Perhaps this is due to the fact that, in Hawaii, we have unfettered access to some of the world’s greatest beaches, incredible weather, a high level of fitness, and some of the best spas around. And while life throughout the beautiful Hawaiian Islands is undoubtedly slower than elsewhere in the United States, we can all use a little relaxation every once in a while. Instead of your typical morning cup of Kona coffee, deep tissue massage, or leisurely afternoon stroll, why not try out something new? Perhaps a brain massage? Intrigued?? So are we!
Nestled on the sunny southwestern shore of Oahu, the Four Seasons Resort at Ko Olina is an absolute dream, with vast ocean views, lush surroundings, lively pools, and plenty of ways to relax.
The best way to relax, however, is with a treatment at the Naupaka Spa & Wellness Centre. From facials, body treatments, and massages to kids’ services and a hair and nail boutique, there’s something for everyone here, but this brand new treatment is obviously the most unique.
Introduced at the end of 2019, the Four Seasons Resort has unveiled the world’s first-ever multi-sensory virtual reality wellness experience: a brain massage.
Partnering with Sensync, a wellness company founded by Dr. Adam Gazzaley and Dr. Alex Theory, the brain massage is centered around the Vessel. This luxury virtual experience combines mixed reality innovation with advanced therapeutic technology to transport you through a sensory experience that is perfectly synchronized with your body.
Achieve a deep sense of relaxation and restoration through a series of customized journeys — called Deep Space, Ocean Cove, Zen Garden, Lost Jungle, Floating Clouds, and more — designed to reset the brain.
Each journey ranges in length from 20 to 80 minutes based on guest preference and allows the guest to see, hear, smell, feel, and touch sensations of nature to create an immersive nature experience that is personalized by real-time recordings of physiology.
The science is complex, but the Vessel integrates aromatherapy, sound and music therapy, visual virtual reality treatments, vibroacoustic stimulation, and so much more.
