In Hawaii, it is a tradition to celebrate May 1st with a special Lei Day gathering, when the most fragrant flowers are used to create fresh Hawaiian lei. At JW Marriott Ihilani Resort & Spa, our associates shared their spirit of aloha and enjoyed May Day with our guests.
Adorned in bright yellow and white plumeria, here's Ihilani Spa's Zach and Shanna doing a hula ‘auana, or modern hula.
The dancers were accompanied with music by associates Raymor, Ata and Del.
Dressed in a beautiful mu‘u mu‘u, here's Noe who works at the Concierge desk.
Everyone tasted Hawaii's favorite foods, including pineapple, poi, haupia, Hawaiian salt and onion.
Guests of all ages got into the May Day spirit with ti leaf lei making, Hawaiian tattoos, coconut weaving, coloring, and fabric flower creations. Our Food and Beverage team looked on as well.
What a great day! It's just another reminder of why we are lucky to live in paradise!
