It was a nice break from all of the chaos and stress from the holidays - and just every day life. Lounging at the pool or beach, relaxing in our suite, and enjoying the views brought a sense of calm to my life.
A highlight for me during my stay, that left me feeling very refreshed and rejuvenated, was a visit to the Hualalai Spa, where I was treated to a 50-minute Classic Facial.
Upon arrival I was shown around the spa's facilities, which include the sauna, steam room, and cold plunge.

Robbin was kind and gentle during the treatment. I wasn't informed (nor did I ask) about the products she was using - I (literally) left everything in her hands and trusted everything she was using and doing (she has several years of aesthetician experience under her belt). Whatever questions I did have she eagerly answered them and always made me feel comfortable.
Before I knew it, the 50 minutes were up, and I was astounded when I felt my skin - I couldn't believe how silky-soft it was! Robbin did mention I already had nice, soft skin to begin with, but she hydrated my skin and infused it with nutrients to make my skin feel amazing.
After the treatment I was ready to go back to the locker room to get dressed, but Robbin suggested I go to the Waiea Garden, where guests can sit and gaze at the waterfall, walk through a stream bed full of rocks that massage the feet, and enjoy some refreshing snacks and drinks.

Staying at the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai is already a treat in itself, and a visit to the spa was just the kind of pampering I needed - for my skin as well as my soul!
