Hi Lisa,
Thank you so much for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question. A visit to
Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa is already such a trip to paradise. Adding on a visit to
Laniwai - A Disney Spa will add even more pampering and relaxation.
I spoke with a wonderful cast member at Laniwai today, and she let me know that in order to gain access to
Kula Wai: Outdoor Hydrotherapy Garden, you will need to book a body treatment, massage, or facial at Laniwai. Unfortunately, a salon treatment will not come with access to Kula Wai: Outdoor Hydrotherapy Garden.
As for recommendations for treatments, I suggest that you take a look at the treatment menu available from the link I provided above. Then, call Laniwai - A Disney Spa at (808) 674-6300. The cast member I spoke with today was able to offer me personal advice about treatments that would be right for me. I think that speaking to a cast member at the spa directly would best help you to determine a good spa service for you. Generally speaking, I was very interested in the Signature Lomilomi massages, which include techniques handed down by Hawaiian elders, as well as the Waiwai treatment which would occur in a gentle mist of rain.
Have a wonderful time planning your trip to paradise, Lisa. Please do let us know if you have any further questions.
