With 1,240 rooms and suites spread over 62 acres, nine restaurants, eight bars, three swimming pools, a four-acre swimming and snorkeling lagoon, eight tennis courts, two golf courses and a $7 million art collection, the Hilton Waikoloa Village on the Big Island of Hawaii has all the makings of a serious case of sensory overload. But the resort's 25,000-square-foot Kohala Spa provides the perfect antidote, with an extensive menu of skin and body therapies offered in a tranquil indoor-outdoor setting.

Treatments reflect a mix of European, Asian and Pacific island traditions, including Hawaiian lomi lomi massage, Thai massage, shiatsu, heated stone massage, salt scrubs with native red clay salts and ti leaf wraps for sunburn relief. Various hydrotherapy and aromatherapy options are available as well, along with open-air cabanas for soothing seaside massages.

Spa treatments are offered à la carte to Hilton Waikoloa guests and visitors, but if you plan to stay at the resort, check the website for information about spa packages with double rates ranging from $3,300 for four nights to $6,100 for seven nights. Packages include ocean-view accommodations, airport transfers, two spa cuisine meals daily, a fitness evaluation and personal training session, a daily spa treatment program and other benefits.
