The Hotel Hana-Maui & Honua Spa is offering
the Discover Hana Escape, where guests stay five nights and only pay for
four, in select Sea Ranch Cottages. Situated on the lush, isolated eastern
side of Maui at the end of the Road to Hana, travelers can discover Hana’s
authentic Hawaiian heritage and unspoiled natural beauty while enjoying the
hotel’s award-winning Honua Spa and cuisine designed under the hotel’s
executive chef, David Patterson. 

Discover Hana is available in the following Sea Ranch Cottage categories:
Ocean View, Deluxe Ocean View, Ocean Front, and Ocean Front One Bedroom
Suite with hot tub. The Sea Ranch Cottages offer dramatic views of the
Pacific Ocean and mountains and feature a spacious living area with open
ceilings, an oversized bathroom, skylights, wet bar, and large lanai with
chaise lounge chairs. 

Included in the exclusive Discover Hana Escape is a daily full American
breakfast for two in Ka’uiki, overlooking Hana Bay. All guests receive a
fresh-flower lei greeting, tropical fruit drink on arrival and a welcome
fruit and snack basket in the room. Hotel guests can also enjoy many
complimentary resort activities, including a daily yoga class, guided walks,
fitness center, two pools and whirlpools, hiking and walking trails, boogie
boards, bicycles, tennis, croquet and 3-hole practice golf. Hawaiian
cultural and historical activities include ukulele and lei-making lessons,
hula, and medicinal plant walks. Other activities available through the
activity desk include horseback riding and jeep tours. The hotel has private
beach facilities with regular shuttle access at the secluded Hamoa Beach,
named one of the Top 10 Beaches in North America by Dr. Beach. 

The intimate, full-service Honua Spa, recently named the “Most Excellent Spa
Hotel” in the USA by the Conde Nast Johansens 2006 awards, offers a relaxing
sanctuary surrounded by Hana’s tropical beauty. The Spa features two
‘couples only’ treatments suites and a water aquatic Watsu pool heated to
body temperature. Message therapies include the popular Hawaiian Lomilomi, a
native healing tradition, and the Tropical Blend, a therapeutic massage that
blends several techniques. Guests can relax before and after treatments in a
large outdoor basking lava rock whirlpool and lounge chairs overlooking Hana
Bay. 

Under Executive Chef David Patterson, the hotel’s main dining room, Ka’uiki,
features a daily changing dinner menu created from locally grown and caught
ingredients. Room service is also available for candlelight dinners.
