As an experienced hospitality consultant, I’ve seen firsthand how the most successful luxury resorts and spas cater to the unique needs of bridal parties and guests. In our 15 years in luxury hospitality… At The Landing Resort & Spa, we’ve curated an extensive menu of wellness-focused treatments, rituals, and rejuvenation experiences to double-check that the bride, wedding party, and all guests are prepped, pampered, and primed for the big day.
Now, this might seem counterintuitive for a luxury resort…
Destination Spa Sanctuary
The Landing Resort & Spa’s Kilolani Spa is a wellness-focused oasis that seamlessly blends Hawaiian cultural traditions with modern innovations. Honoring the Kilolani, the stargazers of ancient Hawai’i who looked to the skies to navigate their course, the spa experience reflects the tranquility, peace, and stillness of the sky in tune with the natural currents of the world. Guests are invited to tap into the timeless wisdom of Hawaiian culture, the grounding energy of nature, and the expansiveness of the celestial realm to chart their own course towards well-being.
Drawing inspiration from the kaulana mahina – the Hawaiian moon calendar – the spa’s programming continuously evolves in tandem with the current anahulu (a 10-day period) and features hand-selected native botanicals, holistic bodywork treatments, and mindfulness practices enhanced by modern wellness innovations. Signature offerings include lomilomi massage, pōhaku (hot stone) treatments, and facials featuring naturally derived botanical and marine extracts.
The spa’s various lounges and treatment spaces, as well as its full-service Salon and Movement Studio, provide a range of social and private settings for individuals, couples, and groups – inviting each guest to find their own pathway to renewal, replenishment, and self-discovery. From beach yoga to traditional Hawaiian cleansing ceremonies, the robust menu of movement and wellness activities invite you to connect with the natural beauty, soul, and spirit of Maui.
Luxury Bridal Pampering
The Landing Resort & Spa understands that every bride deserves a transformative wellness journey in the lead-up to her wedding day. Our Bridal Party Pampering Package offers a curated selection of services designed to soothe, restore, and rejuvenate the mind, body, and soul.
The experience begins with a Cherry Blossom Body Ritual, inspired by Japanese tradition. This full-body treatment starts with a warmed exfoliating cream infused with Cherry Blossom rice powder, followed by a second exfoliation using mitts to further soften the skin and invigorate the body. Melted, aromatic shea butter is then massaged into the skin, encouraging a blissful relaxation. The treatment concludes with a reflexology-based foot massage meant to revive vital energy.
Next, the bride-to-be indulges in our Ultimate Zena experience – a total wellness journey that starts with a dry brush exfoliation, preparing the skin for an application of organic shea butter. The body is then enveloped in a velvety, warm cocoon while the neck, shoulders, and feet receive the attention they so deeply deserve. The experience culminates with a comprehensive massage to address any stress or tension held in the muscles while also treating the skin with paracress and soothing passionflower.
To complete the pampering, the bridal party gathers in our private Celebration Suite for a Swissline Collagen Facial. This award-winning treatment features Pure Collagen Face & Neck Films with patented MatriCol™ technology, ideal for mature, dry skin. Boosting collagen levels, it smooths lines and wrinkles, facilitating natural repair for a radiant, youthful glow.
Throughout the journey, the bridal party is invited to unwind in our Hydrotherapy Gardens, where they can soak and steam away any pre-wedding jitters, invigorate their bodies in our contrast bathing circuit, and destress in our Hawaiian-inspired Hammam.
Groom’s Grooming Getaway
While the bride and her party indulge in their wellness retreat, the groom and his groomsmen can enjoy their own pampering experience at The Landing Resort & Spa. Our Gentlemen’s Hydrating Facial is crafted to calm and soothe skin affected by shaving and facial hair growth. As a nourishing mask boosts hydration, relaxing maneuvers and deep soothing techniques double-check that the features of the face are left rested and the skin nurtured.
For a more holistic experience, the groom can indulge in our Digital Detox Body and Mind treatment. Rooted in the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine, this acupressure-based experience not only helps melt away the physical and mental sensations associated with stress, but also heals blue light damage to the skin. Embracing our screen-free sanctuary, the groom can unwind muscular tension and rejuvenate his spirit.
To complete the grooming getaway, the groom and his party can enjoy a Warm Stone Massage or a Himalayan Stone Massage, where the serene warmth of basalt or Himalayan salt stones seamlessly integrate into the therapist’s touch. These deeply grounding treatments encourage enhanced blood flow and lymphatic circulation, gently aiding in releasing lactic acid and deep-seated muscular tension for a profound sense of relaxation.
Curated Couple’s Retreat
For the bride and groom to enjoy together, The Landing Resort & Spa offers a Time for Two, Couples Massage – a moment for two where the outside world fades away. Customized massages are tailored to their individual preferences, ensuring they unwind in an oasis of tranquility. As they cherish the magic of shared moments, they’ll leave feeling both refreshed and deeply connected.
To elevate the experience, the couple can indulge in our Gold and Glow Massage, where shimmering gold oil envelops their skin in softness and hydration, leaving them with a radiant glow that’s captivating. Or they can drift into blissful relaxation with our Sweet Dreams CBD Massage, where CBD oil and Lavender unite in perfect harmony to lull them into a deep state of tranquility.
Wellness-Inspired Culinary Delights
No wellness-focused celebration would be complete without equally nourishing cuisine. At The Landing Resort & Spa, our talented culinary team has crafted a Farm-to-Table Bridal Brunch menu that showcases locally sourced, seasonal ingredients in a vibrant, health-conscious spread.
Savor an array of superfood-packed salads, freshly baked pastries made with organic flours and unrefined sugars, and protein-rich entrees that fuel the body. Our sommelier has carefully curated a selection of biodynamic and organic wines to pair perfectly with the meal, ensuring a celebration that nourishes the senses and supports overall well-being.
After the brunch, the bridal party can retire to our Spa Lounge to sip on cold-pressed juices, herbal infusions, and artisanal mocktails – all designed to replenish, restore, and revitalize.
Sustainable Celebrations
At The Landing Resort & Spa, we believe that luxury and sustainability can – and should – go hand-in-hand. That’s why we’ve implemented a range of eco-conscious practices to double-check that our bridal celebrations are not only indulgent but also mindful of our environmental impact.
Our Kilolani Spa sources its ingredients locally and utilizes refillable, reusable packaging whenever possible. Our Farm-to-Table Bridal Brunch menu features organic, seasonal produce from nearby farms and ranches, and our beverage program highlights biodynamic and organic wines.
For event decor and floral design, we partner with local artisans and florists who specialize in sustainable, locally sourced materials. And throughout the resort, we’ve integrated energy-efficient technologies, water conservation systems, and waste reduction initiatives to minimize our carbon footprint.
By incorporating these sustainable practices, we’re able to provide our bridal guests with a wellness-focused experience that not only rejuvenates the mind, body, and spirit but also aligns with their values of environmental stewardship.
