About Travaasa Hana
Travaasa Hana is an all-inclusive luxury wellness resort in Hawaii organized around five experiential pillars: Adventure, Culinary, Culture, Fitness, and Wellness. Packages include accommodations, gratuities, total access to resort facilities, Wi-Fi, all meals, and credits toward spa treatments. Guests can also opt for à la carte accommodations if they prefer not to purchase a complete package.
Located on the eastern edge of Maui, this FitStay aims to provide guests with opportunities to enhance their physical and mental wellbeing through an authentic Hawaiian experience. While weight loss is not a focus here, Travaasa Hana is instead designed around an active-but-relaxing vacation.
Accommodations
Travaasa Hana is composed entirely of private cottages and suites. Garden Junior Suites include an outdoor sitting area. Ocean Bungalows have private, expansive lanais with views of the Pacific Ocean. These accommodations are free of radios, clocks, and televisions, for a fully relaxing experience. Waikoloa Family Suites are equipped with a full kitchen, large living and dining areas, and cable television.
All reservations include refrigerators, complimentary bottled water, and welcome banana bread. None of the accommodations have central air conditioning but do have large ceiling fans and sliding doors to let natural ocean breezes flow through the living spaces.

Yoga
Meditation
Pilates
Aqua aerobics
Guests may also participate in the following invigorating activities:
Horseback riding

Pole fishing
Spear throwing
Paddle boarding
Outrigger canoeing

For an additional fee, guests can book a private boot camp experience. The boot camp is designed to challenge body and mind, mix high intensity training with outdoor workouts, and use the natural environment as motivation.
Food
The Preserve Kitchen + Bar is the property’s open-air restaurant with a relaxed environment. It serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily. The menu offers traditional Hawaiian meals, healthy selections, and in-season, local ingredients. Live music and hula are featured in the evenings.
Meals are included in the package rate. There are no pre-set nutrition formulas designed for weight loss or calorie limitations; guests instead make food choices based on individual preferences. Travaasa Hana is not a weight loss-specific property, so guests with strict diet goals will have to dictate their own food limitations here.
Extras
A full-service spa at Travaasa Hana includes a steam room and plunge pool. Additionally, there is a large outdoor pool with hot tub. The property has two tennis courts with equipment available.
Location
Travaasa Hana is located on the eastern edge of Maui near Haleakalã National Park. The area is known for its bamboo gardens, cascading waterfalls, oceanside cliffs, and local hospitality.
Guests may fly directly from the mainland USA to Kahalui, Maui. From there, they can rent a car and drive the scenic coastal road 50 miles to the resort. This drive can take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours, as most visitors stop along the route to experience the scenery.
Alternatively, visitors can reserve a short flight on the local airline from Kahalui to Hana. This flight is included when guests book three or more consecutive nights on a Total Travaasa Package.
Pricing
This FitStay is an all-inclusive luxury wellness resort, with regular room rates starting at $725 per night. Travaasa Hana is not on a specific schedule, so guests can book their stay at the resort for any length of time, starting with just one night. Expect to pay extra for spa treatments and off-property excursions. There is also an option to book à la carte instead of all-inclusive.
Summary
Travaasa Hana is a luxury wellness resort primarily focused on outdoor activities and distinguished services, all overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Located on the island of Maui, this all-inclusive FitStay offers a spa, pool, and yoga, as well as many unique experiences like horseback riding, pole fishing, and spear throwing.
Travaasa Hana does not promote calorie-restricted eating, so weight loss-focused travelers may wish to consider a different option. But guests looking for an all-inclusive resort with many low-impact outdoor activities in a relaxing tropical setting may find Travaasa Hana as a good choice.
