My husband and I recently returned from a trip to Kona. Before we returned home we knew we had to get a massage to really call it a vacation. Boy, are we so happy we made that decision!! Arianna and Lee were referred to us and when we contacted them they promptly replied and got us in for a couples massage as soon as possible. We arrived a little late trying to find our way (ok we got a little lost) but when we got there Lee and Arianna were the kindest and most welcoming anyone could be. The studio was island elegant; each room had a calming peaceful aura and just the right amount of relaxing scents. We got situated, Arianna was my massage therapist and my husband was paired with Lee. Lee and Arianna catered our massages to address the issues we discussed. Arianna had the best energy and I quickly felt comfortable as she unwound all the stored up 2020 tension. My husband was extremely impressed with Lee and raved about his massage. He had lower back pain and after his massage felt so much better. We both were really blessed to find Lee and Arianna on our trip. Great massages in the beautiful setting of Kona. We highly recommend Malama Pono Massage, you won’t be...
Read moreMy husband and I have had massages here over the last couple of months and we will not go anywhere else. The space is so relaxing and quaint and most importantly all of the therapists are amazing! I want to specifically recommend Mihai. Ladies if you feel uncomfortable with male therapists, Mihai should change your minds. He is a gentle soul and so conscientious about proper draping and making you feel comfortable. He is also so very talented with massage (I have experienced many massages from owning my own massage business prior). He has the perfect pressure, which he will adjust to your needs and will even throw in some very helpful stretching, if you need. I also love how he uses warm stones to target problem areas in addition to his massage. I came in with an injury from working out and and barely able to walk without pain yesterday and today I feel so much better and almost back to normal and RELAXED! Do not hesitate to try Mihai or anyone else in Malama Pono. You will not be...
Read moreAfter 10 days of suffering with intermittent neck and upper back pain on my vacation, I woke up barely able to move yesterday. I searched online for a massage appointment nearby our hotel in Kona, was extremely fortunate to find a single appointment here with Arianna. It must have been fate - she had a last-minute cancellation just when I really needed to get a treatment. She worked her magic on me, using hot stones and towels along with a thorough deep tissue massage. By the time my appointment was over, I was able to move my head fairly normally again, and without pain. Today I still have a bit of stiffness to work through but I am so grateful to be free of pain. I highly recommend Arianna and this adorable hidden gem of a massage...
