When you come to Maui’s Best Massage & Spa, you’re already choosing to slow down and reconnect,,, with your body, your breath, and the beauty of Maui. But your self-care doesn’t have to end at our front door.
Just steps away from our Kihei location is one of Maui’s best-kept secrets: South Maui Gardens, a lush tropical oasis, home to food trucks, live music, and peaceful garden paths that invite you to linger a little longer in paradise.
Whether you’re arriving early for your appointment or floating out of your massage in a post-bliss glow, here are a few ways to continue your day in full aloha:
⸻
Wander Through the Gardens
South Maui Gardens is more than a plant nursery—it’s an experience. Take a stroll through their vibrant collection of tropical plants and native Hawaiian greenery. It’s a feast for the senses: birdsong, plumeria in the breeze, palms swaying gently overhead. It’s the perfect place to ground yourself before a session, or to extend your sense of calm afterward.
⸻
Grab a Bite at the Food Trucks
Feeling nourished in body and spirit? Keep it going with something ono to eat. The food truck court at South Maui Gardens offers something for everyone: fresh poke bowls, Thai favorites, plant-based creations, even locally roasted coffee or fresh smoothies.
We recommend planning for a relaxed lunch or early dinner after your treatment. Your nervous system will thank you.
⸻
Catch Live Music or a Sunset Hangout
In the evenings, South Maui Gardens sometimes hosts live acoustic sets or community gatherings. Grab a coconut water, find a shady spot, and enjoy the rhythm of local life. It’s a lovely contrast to the quiet of your massage room, and a reminder that healing also happens in connection and joy.
⸻
Shop Local, Support Local
Don’t forget to browse the garden shop for handmade pots, island-made gifts, or even a new plant friend to take home. Supporting these local businesses deepens your impact, and gives you something tangible to remember your Maui spa day.
⸻
Make It a Ritual
For our local clients and returning visitors, pairing your spa visit with a walk through South Maui Gardens can become a beautiful ritual of self-care. Treat it as sacred: a few hours set aside just for you, to heal, breathe, and enjoy this land we call home.

PS: We’re right next door.
So whether you’re coming from the garden or headed there after your treatment, you won’t have far to go. And we love when guests arrive with sandy toes and flowers in their hair.
Come early. Stay late. Let Maui hold you.
