Angeline’s Muolaulani Wellness Center

I had a wonderful time at Angeline’s Spa. The experience started with a steam room, and ended with an hour long rub down by two very experience people. I run often, and I mentioned it. My masseuse paid extra special attention to my legs and feet. Overall, I felt very well taken care of. I would go again. I think its important to note that this is a small business by hard working locals folks which makes it even more worth your support.

Purely blissful and authentic experience. Blows every high-​end spa treatment outta the water. Every moment was amazing. Go here.

I spent my 40^th Birthday on Kauia in Nov 2015. Everything about Kauai is so beautiful. One of my priorities was to visit Angeline’s! It was an amazing experience. Getting there was very easy. I just used the gps on my iphone and it took me right there to the unassuming neighborhood. Once I parked I walked down the little pathway and entered a little Hawaiian hippie paradise. It’s charming and laid back. There is water and cups provided. A private dressing room (with a guest book… so make sure you sign it!). The entire staff is so nice. The himalayan pink salt scrub was amazing with hawaiian songs being sung during the experience in the steam yurt. Then a four handed massage that was DIVINE! The two ladies doing the massage was amazing! As a massage therapist myself i was totally impressed with their experience level and calm atmosphere they provided! They close around noon so make sure you know you will be booking your massage experience in the morning. And I think it was Cash only. Remember to tip well! They deserve it! Its February 24, 2016 today and I’m still dreaming of Angelines M\uolaulani Welness Center! Sooooo healing and relaxing. Treat yo self!!!

Authentic Hawaiian experience, complete with chanting. First, a salt scrub in their lovely steam room. Then, a traditional four-​hand Lomi Lomi massage, intended to blur your focus on specific massage points so you can relax more fully. They didn’t rush us in the end: we continued using the steam room and lounging around on the deck for another hour. In the winter, it might be a little chilly, but they provide blankets for the massage. Overall, a very comfortable experience!

A magical experience! Loved the homeyness of the venue and the expertise of the therapists. It’s been awhile since I experienced a tandem massage. The Hawaiian singing/​chanting at the beginning of the salt scrub and the tandem massage was beautiful and set the tone for the excellent treatment/​massage that followed. If you’re in Kauai, I recommend checking this place out. You will LOVE it!

We’ve done this twice now and it is clearly the most authentic wellness experience on the island. If you go, give in to the rolling waves of trained hands and breathe in the clean Kaua’i air. Sure, you could spend a small fortune at one of those Haole joints in Po’ipu or Kapa’a but why not spend your cash here with authentic healers. The sea salt, the chanting, the wild frenzy of hands working out years of stress… the roosters, the cat, the call of the dove. If you do this and you totally let the spirit of the island take you away, you won’t regret it! Swear.

Had the most amazing couples massage! First time my husband and I ever had a lomi lomi massage and I would definitely recommend it to everyone. If you are in Kauai there is no other place you should go but to Angeline’s!

First of all bring cash. Cash only $ 160 per persons. We decided to come here to do something off the beaten path. What a wonderful decision. One of the best massage experiences we’ve had.
I have to admit that I am a bit shy when it comes to having my body exposed while in a spa. Note that you can be completely naked in a coed environment. But just go with it. The tradition of the salt scrub, steam and lomi lomi massage is outrageously amazing.
The traditional Hawaiian singing and chants take the massage to a spiritual and balanced level. Both my husband and I left completely relaxed and rejuvenated.
Tips:
Drink lots of water while you’re here
Cash only
Take advantage of the steam after massage
Relax & reflect on the patio
Bring a towel
Just go with the flow!
Many blessings to the staff Mahalo.

One of the best massages I’ve ever had! If you’re looking for the ‘day spa’ experience, you won’t find it here. Prepare to relax among the true sounds of nature, including a horse!
After changing into a sarong, I headed into a steam room. Afterwards I received a wonderful salt scrub. A quick rinse in the outdoor shower then off to get a lomi lomi massage. Two masseuses and you in a screened hut. I think I may have actually fallen asleep.
Definitely make an appointment here if you want a wonderful massage as well as an authentic island experience.

One of the best massage experiences of my life. Well worth the money and the trip from Oakland! The location, the people, the serenity and the actual massage just so calming and healing. This will be a staple for me every time I come to Kauai.

More of a total mind, body & soul experience than just a massage. Best decision ever!

We enjoyed the peaceful setting, salt scrub, and AMAZING Lomi Lomi massage. Very gracious staff. Highly recommend for a laid back spa day.

I visited Angelina’s on my last Kauai trip. All the reviews are spot on — this is not your high end spa but is the place to go for a traditional two-​on-​one massage. It was a great experience and one I highly recommend for a memorable Hawaiian experience.

So glad we ventured outside the hotel spa for a traditional Lomi Lomi massage! Enjoyed the open-​air feel — I could hear the birds chirping and feel the breeze blowing during the treatment. The two person/​four hands massage was delightful!
The treatment, while advertised as two hours, ran more like an hour and half including the sauna and shower time. We wrapped up at 1:15 for our 12 pm appointment. Completely lovely, just be aware that it can run short.

I am so incredibly grateful for this experience. I rank it as a top five healing massage experience.
You can read the other reviews for details of what goes on (2hrs complete w/​steam room, salt scrub, gardens, 2 people working on you at once, outdoor showers, native prayers sung intermittently throughout the treatment)
The beauty behind the process lies in the woman who treat you. They are not just talented and well trained but they are loving and fully present throughout the entire process.
I am pregnant, they knew what alterations would be most nourishing and safe and worked with such care and love (complete w blessings for the baby).
I’m incredibly grateful and look forward to returning!
Note: Price is $ 160. When you pay at the end (hopefully w a nice tip!) you’ll have No Regrets! It’s a deal.

Wonderful experience. Would recommend the first appointment of the day as it was not as hot outside and we had the place to ourselves at first. When going in between rooms we generally had the option of a sarong or towel to cover up with. Only regret was not eating breakfast beforehand so we could stay and enjoy the steam room and patio more afterwards.

We had a great experience at Angeline’s. We had the signature treatment: steam + salt scrub + four handed massage.
I did this six months pregnant, and the staff was very accommodating. They turned down the temperature of the steam room, and since we were the only ones there, I positioned myself right next to the door, which we left open. It was warm and steamy without being so hot as to feel dangerous or uncomfortable for me. Jen did my salt scrub in the steam with me lying on my sides (I can’t lie comfortably flat on my back or stomach). It was divine. My skin has never felt this good in February!
For the massage, which takes place in a different building, Jen and Ann brought out a set of pregnancy massage pillows (bolsters?) that made it possible for me to lie comfortably on my stomach and back. They basically propped me up with a hole for my belly and breasts on the front, and gave me a slight incline when I was on my back. They were both very intuitive and responsive to my body and requests. The following day my normal pregnancy aches and pains were zilch! My hips have never felt better! I should do this more regularly!
Overall, we had a lovely lovely time. I wouldn’t recommend this place if you are incredibly shy about being naked, or if you would prefer a more traditional resort-​style spa experience. For us though, it was perfect! A wonderful way to start our vacation.

You will get so much more out of your trip to Kauai if you get the Lomi Lomi massage from here. I only wish we had done ours at the start of our visit, rather than at the end.
You need to follow the directions on their website to find the actual location… when you call ahead for your reservation (required), you will learn that it’s a cash-​only service.
Though the stream room is very thick with steam, it is highly likely that other guests will see you stark-​naked, as you hand over your sarong to get your salt scrub. Just don’t pay it any mind — everyone is in the same boat.
Having two ladies massage you simultaneously, while performing cool cross-​body maneuvers with your limbs is an experience I haven’t seen offered anywhere else. The «angels» ask you what pressure you like, and which areas you’d like to focus on — don’t be shy! Tell them what you want to get the most out of your experience. They also do some occasional beautiful Hawaiian chanting.
It’s worth the $ 160, without a doubt. Again, you will get more out of your visit after being treated so well and relaxed!

When I stepped into the decked patio at Auntie Angeline’s a small dog padded over and rolled on the ground belly up. I stooped over, gave his belly a friendly scratch and he grinned, expressing the true aura of Auntie Angeline’s— a radiance of joy and sacred zen. A couple of sarong-​clad newlyweds lounged about on chaise lounges, and Jen, one of Angeline’s therapists walked over and welcomed me. For $ 150 I had signed up for the signature Auntie Angeline’s ritual — sauna, salt scrub and Lomi Lomi massage with sacred Hawaiian chants.
After I got changed into a sarong, I checked out the tropical hut sauna. One other fellow was in the back, towel wrapped at the waist. In the center, two tables were set up for salt scrubs and were unoccupied. I took a seat (sarong still wrapped tightly around my torso), stayed a few minutes and then walked out. The steam and heat made me a bit too woozy. I settled for some light reading in the shade, an adorable cat curled up at my feet and I sipped cool water.
Meanwhile, Jen called the newlyweds over to the sauna and they went in for a salt scrub. A few minutes later the bride came out and it was my turn. When I walked in the hut, I was surprised to see the groom from the newlyweds lying on his back stark naked getting a salt scrub! Now, I had read in Kauai Revealed that this was a co-​ed, clothing optional spa but I was still a bit taken aback. Two other fellows were at the back of the steam room sitting there minding their own business. Jen asked me if I was comfortable, and fortunately once the door closed more steam filled the room and made it much more difficult to see, so I managed to squawk out a «yes» and she asked me to take off the sarong and lie face-​down on the table.
Now, y’all know I’m a yoga teacher, but, I’m still a little bit conservative when it comes to body exposure. I’m from a right-​wing, no-​nudity family. Asides from my diaper days as a baby, I don’t think anyone in my immediate family has seen me naked and vice-​versa. (THANK GOD). I managed to tell myself silently, «get a grip, we’re all adults, you’re a yoga teacher for chrissakes» and managed to lie face-​down on the table in my birthday suit. Jen began a Hawaiian chant and started to work her magic. Slowly I forgot that I was getting scrubbed while in the buff in front of three men, Jen, and another therapist. It was when she asked me to turn over that I just about died. Thankfully, Jen put a towel over my eyes and oddly enough that made it somewhat better. The old ostrich ‘If I can’t see you then you’re not here’ business actually worked!
Jen draped my sarong over me, and quick as lightning I was wrapped up, made an awkward wave and embarrassed smile to the fellas at the back, and skipped out of there in a jiffy. Found the gorgeous, secluded outdoor showers at the back (fortunately empty), quickly washed the salt scrub off, toweled-​off (bring your own towel, btw) and went back to recline in the sun, safely wrapped in my sarong, book in hand.
The next part of the treatment I had my own private hut (hallelujah!) and had an incredible Lomi Lomi massage with Auntie Angeline’s son, Michael, and Jen again. They both sang Hawaiian chants first, with Michael working my back/​arms and Jen taking over for hips/​legs/​feet. Both Jen and Michael radiated healing, and I felt all my cares drift away, and a sacred calm took over. Afterward, I was in a daze and it took a few moments to collect myself and head back to the showers to clean up. Another gal filed in at the shower next to me, but it wasn’t awkward at all.
For $ 150 this was an amazing, healing and authentic Hawaiian experience. I try to go to Kauai every couple of years and I’ll definitely make this a key part of my trip! Thank you to Auntie Angeline’s for the sacred healing — and for helping me to shed some of my shyness and remember that we’re all divine creatures after all.

If you want a memorable, authentic, sacred, passed down from a real Kupuna lomi treatment, away from the tourist scene, this is your place. A native family business that my family has enjoyed for years.
The Short: My mother and I scheduled a lomi treatment for two, online, two days ahead. We drove to Angeline’s garden, disrobed, and underwent the most amazing Hawaiian experience. I lost track of time, but we were easily there for two hours or more.
The Long: My mom hasn’t lived here in 30 years but still considers herself a local. Most locals on Kaua’i know Auntie Angeline, because she is a real Kupuna (Hawaiian elder/​community leader/​practitioner of aloha (love), pono (righteousness), malama (caring), spirituality, and strength.) I have seen her name in a Marin Wellness magazine, Fodor’s, and online, but had no idea what was coming. Maybe because everyone experiences lomi differently. My family has had real lomi before, but it’s not easy to explain… I will try here.
My mom, aunt, and I walked onto a wood patio, into a small indoor/​outdoor massage room for two. We were immediately greeted by Angeline’s gorgeous granddaughter, Malia, who handed us cloth wraps to cover ourselves. My mother and aunt, the nudests that they are, took the wraps off like everyone else. I felt a little strange to be covered, but even stranger about being naked (I’m shy), so I kept my wrap on for most of my steam.
First, we steamed in this large steam hut/​tent/​room place. I couldn’t tell you where the steam was coming from, but the whole room maintained a thick yet comfortable fog. It wasn’t like a hot tile gym steam room with a drippy ceiling, but an inviting, warm, and misty space with tables and a wall length bench. This steam room was the largest steam room I have ever entered — made of mostly wood. I took a seat while my mom and aunt laid down on the tables.
After a few minutes, our treatment began. We were escorted over to our respective tables, where the salting and chanting began. I have to say, I had never been salted in a steam room — but it was amazing. My skin has never felt so smooth or clean. After salting, we walked outside, down the patio, to the the showers. In the open air, we rinsed ourselves clean and then returned to the steam room.
Then, two people came in and escorted us back into our indoor/​outdoor massage rooms. My aunt was taken somewhere else for a two person lomi. The tables were large and incredibly comfy. Jen came in and asked if I had any areas of pain. I told her that my lower back was stiff from the plane ride, and this was my first lomi. She began on my back, and two minutes in, I had to stop myself from drooling. I don’t know if it was her touch, the sound of the waves, chanting, or all three, but this felt like the first time I had truly relaxed since school started– and I could not tell if I was awake or asleep. I had no concept of time, but I could tell you that it felt longer than my annual 90 minute massage. All I knew for sure was that my mom was next to me, Jen was chanting, and the ocean never stopped moving.
At the end, I looked over and my mom was asleep. She looked so peaceful, tan, and healthy. It wasn’t until we left that I appreciated the level of care and professionalism that Malia provided in caring for my mother’s new stoma. I’m guessing that some discussion took place ahead, but it was never an issue. The entire experience was tranquil.
Bottom line: Don’t skip lomi at Angeline’s Wellness Center or you are missing out on a beautiful part of Kauai’s culture. I don’t know if I could ever come back here without getting a lomi at Angeline’s, but hopefully, I will not have to. Body work is always good, but lomi here is special — you just have to try it for yourself. Nothing is better than a relaxed, mind, body and spirit. If you have trouble getting there, I highly recommend getting a lomi to help you out.
TIP: explore the garden, because as beautiful as Kaua’i is, you are not likely to see a space like this anywhere. Everything looks like it is where it would naturally be. Also, if you’re lucky, you may be able to see some Hula and live music here.
