Hilton Waikoloa Village announces new Golf & Spa Escape package

KOHALA COAST, Hawaii -- Hit the greens or unwind in the spa at Hilton Waikoloa Village with the new Golf & Spa Escape package. Starting at $239 per room per night, guests receive a deluxe room and choice of escape via the fairway or the rejuvenation route.

Guests can select one of the following options during their stay:

* Two rounds of golf at the Waikoloa Kings’ Course or the Waikoloa Beach Course (Retail value: $320, $160 per round)
* Two treatments at the Kohala Sports Club & Spa, with your choice of a 50 minute Kohala Full Body Massage or a 50 minute Kohala Personalized Facial (Retail value: $300, $145 for the Kohala Massage and $155 for the Kohala Facial)
* One round of golf at the Waikoloa Kings’ or the Waikoloa Beach Course and one treatment at the Kohala Sports Club & Spa

Tee off on the challenging Waikoloa Kings’ Course or the Waikoloa Beach Course
Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, you’ll find the fairways exhilarating and the scenery breathtaking. The 7,000+ yard Kings’ Course offers golfers the best of two worlds: a great links-style layout that reflects the rugged seacoast of Scotland set on an island paradise framed by palm trees, an ancient lava flow and tropical flowers with Mauna Kea in the distance.

The Beach Course at Waikoloa features hypnotic ocean views along immaculate greens well-guarded by numerous white sand bunkers and strategically placed, shimmering water features, and the ultimate Big Island golf experience is the Beach Course’s 502-yard par 5 twelfth. Not only is it a challenging golf hole, its rocky point over the breakers is an awesome place to spot humpback whales and distant views of other Hawaiian Islands.

The recently renovated Kohala Sports Club & Spa at Hilton Waikoloa Village offers the unparalleled opportunity to relax, rejuvenate and rediscover your essential vitality. The Kohala Full Body Massage uses a combination of techniques specific to your needs. This massage increases circulation, relaxes tight muscles and relieves tension and stress to prepare you for your island adventure. The Kohala Personalized Facial recognizes how each individual’s skin is different and has specific needs that constantly change. This facial includes a skin analysis, cleansing, exfoliation, extractions if needed, shoulders, neck, face massage, mask, and moisturizer. After the treatment enjoy the luxurious facilities including the steam room, sauna and outdoor whirlpool.

This package is valid now through December 24, 2008 and is based on availability. Minimum of four consecutive nights stay required, and must be booked at least seven days in advance. This offer is per room and not per guest.
