Massages are great. But a massage that takes place while you float in a warm saltwater pool, with no pressure on your joints, ocean-like sounds in your ears, and expert hands guiding your movement?
That’s next-level relaxation.
At Spa Pure Waikiki, our Ocean Massage is unlike anything most people have ever experienced. And for many, it’s the only kind of massage they want after trying it.
Here’s why this unique treatment might just become your new favorite way to unwind.
1. You Float — So Your Body Fully Lets Go
In a traditional table massage, your body is still fighting gravity. With an Ocean Massage, you’re completely supported by warm salt water and gentle flotation aids.
That means:
- No tension in your spine or joints
- Deeper release in shoulders, hips, and neck
- Better stretch and range of motion
- A meditative, weightless feeling that’s hard to describe until you’ve felt it
It’s like being held by the ocean while someone works all the stress out of your body.
2. The Saltwater Boosts Circulation and Healing
Saltwater isn’t just for the beach. It’s packed with magnesium and trace minerals that help your body detox, reduce inflammation, and soften the skin.
Benefits include:
- Improved circulation
- Decreased water retention
- Muscle recovery support
- Natural exfoliation
Our warm salt pool is maintained at around 97°F, the ideal temp for muscle relaxation and deep tissue release.
3. The Movements Are Rhythmic — Like Ocean Waves
Your therapist uses a mix of gentle finger pressure, guided stretching, and slow wave-like movements to move your body through the water. The sensation is calming and hypnotic, similar to being rocked gently by ocean currents.
This rhythmic motion:
- Activates your parasympathetic nervous system
- Helps reset your breath and heartbeat
- Promotes deeper relaxation than a standard massage
- Creates a sense of emotional release and inner calm
Many guests describe it as “a mental detox” or “a floating meditation.”
4. It’s One-of-a-Kind in Honolulu
Ocean Massage isn’t something you’ll find at just any spa. At Spa Pure Waikiki, it’s one of our signature treatments, and we’ve perfected it with:
- A private heated saltwater pool
