Grand Wailea partners with Moon Juice to introduce lunar-aligned facials, supplements, and café rituals at Kilolani Spa, blending Hawaiian moon cycles with modern adaptogenic wellness.
Grand Wailea, A Waldorf Astoria Resort, has introduced an exclusive partnership with Moon Juice at its open-air Kilolani Spa, positioning lunar-aligned treatments at the center of Hawaii’s largest spa experience.
The collaboration debuts a dedicated menu of Moon Juice-infused facials and ingestible elixirs at Kilolani Spa, alongside a signature latte at the resort’s wellness café, Loulu. The offering connects the spa’s programming, which follows traditional Hawaiian moon cycles, with Moon Juice’s supplement and skin-care formulations built around adaptogens, functional mushrooms, and clinical-grade actives.
The launch builds on Grand Wailea’s wellness inspired partnerships. In 2022, Grand Wailea, partnered with Los Angeles market Erewhon in the store’s first hotel collaboration, bringing a curated selection of snacks, co-branded beverages, and “Curated by Erewhon” menu items to the 40-acre oceanfront property, along with member perks that include up to $100 per night in resort credit and room upgrades.
A lunar framework
Kilolani Spa, named for ancient Hawaiian stargazers, operates on the Helu Pō calendar, a system that tracks ten-day lunar periods known as anahulu. The spa’s treatments and botanical selections shift in rhythm with those cycles, drawing from native plants and Maui-crafted products. The moon-based structure reflects Native Hawaiian cultural practices that tie agriculture, fishing, and healing rituals to lunar phases, a framework documented by the University of Hawaii’s Hawaiian Studies resources and the Bishop Museum’s cultural archives.
Into that setting enters Moon Juice, the wellness brand founded by Amanda Chantal Bacon in 2011 in Los Angeles. The brand built its following through plant-based supplements and skin care that combine traditional ingredients with contemporary research. It has cited clinical studies in support of ingredients such as magnesium and adaptogens, categories that have expanded significantly in the United States wellness market. According to Grand View Research, the global adaptogens market was valued at more than $10 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow steadily through the decade.
Moon Juice hydrafacial treatments
At Kilolani Spa, the new Moon Juice Hydrafacial uses the widely licensed Hydrafacial device, which delivers vortex-based exfoliation and serum infusion. The sixty-minute treatment incorporates Moon Juice’s Milk Cleanse, Plump Jelly, and Cosmic Cream, and is paired with the brand’s Pearl supplement. Pricing begins at $315.
An extended ninety-minute Super Moon Juice Hydrafacial layers lymphatic drainage, exfoliation, and serum infusion, enhanced by LED light therapy. The treatment is priced beginning at $415. An optional Pearl Radiance Mask enhancement, available for $45, can be added to any facial.
Hydrafacial, developed by BeautyHealth, has become a mainstay in luxury spa menus worldwide. According to the company’s public filings, the treatment is offered in more than eighty countries, underscoring its crossover appeal between medical aesthetics and resort wellness.
Elixirs and café rituals
The partnership moves beyond the treatment room. Guests may add Moon Juice elixirs such as Mini Dew, formulated with pink salt electrolytes and trace minerals, or Magnesi-OM, a magnesium blend containing gluconate, citrate, and acetyl taurinate, to massages or facials.
At Loulu café, the Moon Juice Matcha Pearl Latte blends almond milk, matcha, blue spirulina, and Pearl. Pearl powder, used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries, has been studied for its calcium content and potential antioxidant properties, though research on topical and ingestible efficacy remains ongoing, as noted in reviews published by the National Institutes of Health.
The collaboration situates Kilolani Spa within a broader hospitality shift toward integrative wellness experiences that merge topical treatments with ingestible rituals. With luxury travel rebounding strongly post-pandemic, wellness tourism is projected to surpass $1 trillion globally by 2027, according to the Global Wellness Institute. At Grand Wailea, that forecast now unfolds according to the moon’s calendar.
