I have a confession to make. I’m deeply devoted to my décolletage. If you’re a woman reading this, (or a man who doesn’t understand) let me explain. The neck-chest-and-bosom area, if not taken care of properly, can easily look like a prune and age you rapidly. Ladies who wish to appear as youthful as possible, need to take care of the décolletage. So I’m happy to report that The Ultimate Facial at Kapalua Spa ($255 for 110 minutes, plus 20% gratuity) includes a whole lotta massagin’ goin’ on, in that area. And what a facial it is. Almost two hours of pure decadence. After choosing your preferred oil, your facialist will apply cleanser; exfoliant; perform a facial massage followed by extractions; apply face oil; foot massage with peppermint spray; another face massage using seashells; gentle Clarisonic brushing (from the creators of the Sonicare toothbrush); use of the high-frequency to clear up your skin even more; and arm and very l-o-n-g leg massage. This facial also uses Pure & True organic products made on The Big Island of Hawaii. Afterwards, said my attendant Suji, “your face looks like it has baby skin.” I positively glowed.

Best part: I know I’ve said this before, but I’m partial to the head massage, as well as the neck rub.

Spa facts: The spa is part of the sprawling Kapalua complex, a seaside sanctuary that’s a wellness wonderland. You’ll find Hawaiian and water therapy treatments; body therapies such as seaweed wraps and banana-ti-leaf masque; a wealth of massage therapies; all kinds of skin therapies; plus salon services including manicures using Chi lacquers. Other than the treatment rooms, the woman’s area, for example, includes a Jacuzzi; cold rainshower; sauna, steam room and complimentary Molokai sea salt so you can perform your own exfoliation; and outdoor infinity pool. There are also 10 private hales for outdoor treatments. The fitness center is huge and boasts, among other things, Kinesis circuit training machines that use cables for resistance. “They’re great, especially for golfers who can do a lot of functional core movements to improve their swing and stability,” said Courtney, one of the trainers at the spa. There’s also an immense yoga studio offering magnificent views of Lanai; classes such as Pilates cost $14 each. Also on premises is a juice bar and retail store.
