A $450 Chocolate Food Fight in Hawaii

[Kathie Fry]

One of the most unique spa treatments I've heard about in a long time is the "Exploration in Chocolate" couples treatment offered by the Mandara Spa at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Resort in Waikiki. Here's how it's described in their brochure:

An indulgence just for two, this adventure begins with side-by-side massages in a deluxe twin spa suite. Then, embark on a private journey together while you awaken your playful self and discover the many applications of chocolate. Enjoy a complimentary pot full of rich chocolate scrub that is "good enough to eat". Complete your interlude with a shower and indulge in your choice of a custom prepared aromatic bath.

For $450 you can spend 2 hours and 30 minutes smearing chocolate all over the one you love and... well, the rest is up to your imagination. I guess this must be the kind of thing some people like to do on their honeymoon. And in case you think I made that whole thing up (as IF I could dream up something like that) see the Mandara Spa Oahu Brochure

If anybody ever tries this treatment... I want pictures!

There are two other Mandara Spas in Hawaii, but only the Waikiki location offers the Exploration in Chocolate package. Here are the locations of all three of Hawaii's Mandara Spas:
