Description

Before you book, let us tell you briefly what a Lomi Lomi massage really is — and why it is so special.

What is a Lomi Lomi massage

The Lomi Lomi massage is the traditional therapy of Hawaii, renowned for its long, flowing movements. It uses warm oil and fluid strokes, performed mainly with the forearms, that glide continuously over the whole body like ocean waves. It is a holistic therapy that deeply relaxes the body and calms the mind.

A tradition from Hawaii

Lomi lomi originates in Hawaii, where it was practised in ancient times by traditional healers (kahuna), as part of a culture in which touch was seen as an act of care and harmony. The name means “to caress” or “to knead”, and the philosophy behind it emphasises flow, rhythm and balance between body and spirit.

The technique

What makes lomi lomi unique is the unbroken flow of the movements: the therapist uses the forearms and palms, with plenty of warm oil, for long strokes that travel across the whole body in a continuous rhythm. Unlike massages segmented by zones, here everything flows like a wave — a deeply relaxing and enveloping experience.
