Hawaii is a land of stories. Stories like the Naupaka flower, a flower that blooms in halves. One half grows by the ocean. One half grows by the mountain. According to ancient Hawaiian legend, the beautiful and beloved princess Naupaka encountered a handsome fisherman named Kaui. When their eyes met, it was love at first sight.
However, she was an ali`i (royalty) and he was a maka`âinana (commoner), which made their love forbidden. Defying the gods with their love, their souls were eternally separated and imparted into flowers that were destined to grow apart.
As a symbol of their love, it is said that when Naupaka Kuahiwi,the half-flower from the mountain, joins Naupaka Kahakaithat resides by the seashore, the lovers are reunited once again.
Like the flower, we yearn to be whole. Located between the ocean and the mountains rests Naupaka Spa & Wellness Center. Inspired by its namesake, the spa invites guests to experience a new menu of healing therapies that call upon ancient local wisdom, native plants and `ola, meaning life, health, and well-being to set an intention to manifest mana aina spirit of the land.
