These Maui Resorts Are Tapping Into Mysticism
Go beyond the spa at these island properties, where Maui magic is redefined through metaphysical wellness experiences like astrology, tarot readings and moon-attuned rituals.
Maui is more than just a vacation destination—it’s a place people come for deep healing, spiritual guidance and to reconnect with themselves. As wellness trends lean further into the metaphysical, travelers are stepping into a new realm of soul-centered experiences. From energy work to astrology and divination, these Maui resorts offer activities and spa treatments infused with a touch of magic.
Kilolani Spa at Grand Wailea, A Waldorf Astoria Resort
For a truly immersive experience, Kilolani Spa pays homage to ancient Hawaiian astrologers through its name alone, which means “one who looks at the stars.” Spa programming is thoughtfully aligned with the moon phases, with full and new moon events featuring breathwork, sound healing, cacao ceremonies and more. You can also book aura photography sessions, soul healings and spiritual readings using astrology or tarot cards—the latter facilitated by yours truly—along with crystal-infused treatments like the Hawaiian Quartz Facial and Amethyst Scalp Massage. For a more low-key experience, relax in the Meditation Lounge with a personalized guided meditation and vibrational therapy, or join a group sound bath on Sunday afternoons.
Maui Spa at Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea
Tap into transformative self-growth and explore your soul’s purpose through healings and readings with the Four Seasons’ in-house astrologer. UnWind the Soul Healing guides guests through energetic stress relief, while evolutionary astrology offers insight into your natal chart—a snapshot of the sky at the moment you were born that can illuminate past lives, recurring patterns, and pathways for future growth. Guests can also explore how current astrological transits interact with their birth charts for a deeper look at different areas of life in the present moment. Couples may opt for a synastry reading, which can examine both the harmonious and challenging dynamics within a relationship.
Mandara Spa at Wailea Beach Resort
Energy work is a powerful yet often intangible healing modality—one that can be difficult to explain but deeply felt. At Mandara Spa, guests can experience Reiki, a Japanese technique in which certified practitioners support the flow of energy to restore balance across one’s physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies. Sessions are available in 30-, 60- and 90-minute increments, offering long-lasting rejuvenation. For a wellness experience rooted in a sense of place, reserve time at the Olakino adults-only pool, which includes a variety of elevated amenities like poolside sound healings on Saturdays.
The Ritz-Carlton Maui, Kapalua
Connect with mind, body and spirit during Chakra Yoga, offered Thursdays from 8:15-9:15 a.m. This gentle practice incorporates movement, breathwork and meditation, focusing on the body’s seven main chakras. (Fun fact: In some new age belief systems, each major Hawaiian island is associated with these energy centers, from the Big Island as the root to Niʻihau as the crown.) This property is also just steps from Makāluapuna Point, also known as Dragon’s Teeth, home to a human-made labyrinth with sweeping coastal views. Guests can take part in guided walks on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 7-8 a.m. or explore on their own at any time.
