Have you ever allowed yourself to fantasize
about making an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, perhaps to a luxury retreat
in Kauai, Hawaii, and finding a secluded haven to restore your world-weary soul? The Aloha Suite
at the Kahuna Valley Retreat is the perfect get-away that offers a unique mix of seclusion in
the midst of elegant accommodations without a costly price.
Your retreat begins the second you disembark from the plane that’s deposited you on
the The Garden Isle of Kauai, the eldest child of the inhabited Hawaiian Islands. You luxuriate
in the splendor of the numerous waterfalls that are visible during your brief drive along the
curvaceous roads that lead you to the infamous red roof of the Octagon Classroom that stands
guard over the lush six acres that comprise the heart of Kahuna Valley. Nestled at the base
of the Makaleha Mountains, a pristine area well known for its healing energies, you literally
feel the solitude envelop you as you arrive at the Aloha Suite.
Unpacking will have to wait as you immediately become transfixed on the intoxicating bouquet
of aromas coming from the gardenia and plumeria that surround you. The incessant thoughts that
have been screaming through your mind about the work you left behind are quickly calmed and
replaced by the harmonizing chorus of Brazilian cardinals and green finches that have chosen
to announce your arrival by singing you an avian Aloha greeting. You wonder why you waited
so long to treat yourself to a luxury retreat in Kauai.
As you make you way into the sanctuary and privacy of the ground floor Aloha Suite, you feel
a sense of being firmly grounded to the honey-colored bamboo hardwood floors. The master bedroom
beckons you to take a brief rest on its pillow-top queen-size mattress that not only affords
you an overwhelming amount of deluxe comfort but a sunlight-speckled view of the meditation
gardens that lie on just the other side of the breeze-billowing sheer curtains. You’re
totally convinced - this is the best of all of the luxury retreats in Kauai that are available.
The biggest decision you face upon arising is whether to make yourself a meal of the luxurious
organic produce that you purchased at the local Farmers’ Market or whether to go outside
and help yourself to the free-for-the-picking fruits including bananas, mangos, lemons, figs,
and guavas. Maybe you’ll expand your horizons and try a breadfruit, otherwise known as “ulu” in
Hawaiian. Whatever food you choose, you decide to enjoy the perfect seventy-five degree weather
by eating outside on the garden patio.
After eating, you take a leisurely stroll around the property. You tour the Octagon Classroom
and gain an understanding of why it’s often referred to as a temple. The feng shui design
of this eight-sided building is alive with positive energy as the rear mountains and front
stream provide a quite hideaway that gives you a sense of emotional security like you’ve
never experienced before.
As the sun slips behind the protective mountains, you journey back to the Aloha Suite that
will serve as your home for the next several days of your luxury retreat in Kauai. The scent
of the night-blooming Jasmine fills every cell in your body as you try to decide what type
of bodywork you’ll have done tomorrow. Will it be a Chinese qi massage, a Swedish massage,
shiatsu, foot reflexology, cellulite reduction, an abdominal massage, energy balancing, reiki,
or watsu therapy? Ah…such difficult choices to make on this the first night of your
luxuriant retreat in Kauai’s peaceful Kahuna Valley.
You end your day by slipping into the Jacuzzi hot tub with a cup of “lillikoi” white
passionflower tea that you’ve made from the flower petals you picked earlier. It will
help you sleep, but somehow you doubt that will be a problem tonight here in this private tranquil
retreat.
Perhaps the thought of such an adventure seems like a lavish indulgence that you can only justify
embarking on if it’s a necessity of conducting business and not a sumptuous personal
pleasure. Your peace of mind and quality of health depend on your making a commitment to slow
down and occasionally luxuriate in the wonders that the world has to offer you. The path to
such a commitment begins by making a reality of your dreams for a luxurious retreat in Kauai.
Give yourself the gift of spending restorative personal time at Kahuna Valley. We’re
ready for your arrival. Are you?
