The new spa at the recently reopened Mauna Kea Beach Hotel will be operated by Mandara, the fourth in Hawai'i for the the global spa company.
Mandara owner Steiner Leisure Ltd. said the 3,000-square-foot luxury facility will open sometime in March at the resort on the Big Island's Kohala Coast.
Mandara's other Hawai'i spas are at the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort, also on the South Kohala Coast; the Wailea Beach Marriott Resort on Maui; and the Hilton Hawaiian Village on O'ahu.
