Serenity Spa Hawaii has re-opened following an exciting multi-month renovation. Located on the second floor of the Diamond Head tower at the newly-remodeled Outrigger Reef on the Beach, Serenity Spa Hawaii’s rebirth includes newly decorated treatment rooms, the addition of a men’s changing room, and a new menu of services utilizing the environmentally conscious line of Aveda products.

A blessing ceremony was held last week to celebrate the spa’s “rebirth,” with Outrigger’s Manager of Cultural Experiences Ka‘ipo Ho overseeing the formal proceedings, together with Owner/Operator Sheryl Bell, and the staff of Serenity Spa Hawaii. Guests were then treated to a selection of mini treatments from the spa’s menu of services.

Central to the spa’s new positioning is the addition of Aveda services and products. The staff, who are spa professionals from the islands, have been specially trained by Aveda — the environmentally sustainable, plant-derived hair, skin, and body care cosmetic brand that continues to set the standard for spas.

The 4,500-square foot Serenity Spa Hawaii offers luxury spa services in eight treatment rooms at an affordable price for the entire family. Guests can relax and unwind with a wide menu of massage therapies, such as Hawaiian lomi lomi, hot lava rock, Swedish, sports, and deep tissue treatments. Refreshing body services like body wraps, scrubs, vichy showers, and aromatherapies are also available. Couples treatments, kids packages, and full salon services are also on the menu.

A specialty treatment at Serenity Spa Hawaii is their Chakra Balancing Massage — this is an innovative treatment to align the body’s chakra points through touch and aroma blends. Different massage techniques are incorporated into this service to decrease muscular tension, reduce stress, and increase energy.

Within the next several months, guests also will have the opportunity to enjoy select treatments in a tropical cabana being erected next to the pool. A new retail boutique will also open soon in the Outrigger Reef’s lobby, where guests will be able to book spa services and purchase Aveda products.

Patrons of Serenity Spa Hawaii are sure to feel refreshed and relaxed following their visit to the spa, not only because of the fine services and wonderful Aveda line of products that are used, but because of the mana, or spirit, that permeates the place. The area where the Outrigger Reef stands was a place of healing for the early Hawaiians, who for centuries came to the area to heal spiritually and physically. According to Sheryl Bell, Serenity Spa Hawaii continues that tradition of focusing on the body, mind, and spirit in honor of the area’s ancient healers.

The re-opening of Serenity Spa Hawaii is part of the final phase of the stunning $110 million makeover of the Outrigger Reef on the Beach, which has transformed this hotel into one of Oahu’s newest havens of elegance, gracious hospitality, and unparalleled commitment to Hawaiian culture.
