The Maui Spa & Wellness Center emulates the Aloha Spirit in every detail. There is a rich and charming story behind the name and the spa's founder, Gayle Wentworth. In 1987, Gayle moved to Maui to work with spiritual and holistic doctors who specialized in the art of body healing without chemicals or surgery. Inspired by the island's secrets she absorbed in the decade that ensued, Gayle returned to the States and began applying her expertise at some of the most luxurious, 5-star spas in the world.
