Lomi Lomi massage originates from Hawaiian wellness tradition. With long, flowing movements of the forearms and hands, the entire body is massaged in a rhythmic flow. A particularly enveloping relaxation experience.

Lomi Lomi is a Hawaiian full-body massage with long, flowing movements. The word means “to knead” in Hawaiian — the flowing strokes are meant to resemble the gentle waves of the ocean. Forearms and hands massage the entire body in a rhythmic sequence, with generous warm oil on a massage table.
The long, flowing strokes across the entire body are the heart of Lomi Lomi. Unlike more structured massage styles, the body is treated as a whole — movements cross the boundaries between individual body zones. Many describe the result as a deep sense of letting go. In western studios a simplified version is often offered; some providers work in the more traditional Hawaiian Kahuna style.
You undress for the treatment and are covered with sheets. The therapist works with plenty of warm oil and long strokes. Some studios incorporate quiet music and a ceremonial character. A typical session lasts 60 to 90 minutes.
Yes, Lomi Lomi is performed with oil directly on the skin. You are covered with sheets throughout — only the area currently being massaged is uncovered.
The main difference is the particularly long, flowing movements that cross body boundaries and the holistic approach. Classic oil massages often work area by area; Lomi Lomi treats the body as one connected whole.
