Creating Memorable Luxury Spas
Christi Cano partners with luxury hotels, resorts, day spas, and developers to build spas that are as beautiful to operate as they are to experience.
Let’s Talk 01 About
Three decades of building spas that people remember.
With over 30 years in luxury hospitality, I’ve developed, opened, and managed spas for some of the most recognized names in the industry — from Four Seasons and Marriott to Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, Spa Ojai, and Wynn Las Vegas.
My career started as a management trainee at Hyatt Regency Waikiki and grew into resort and spa openings across Hawaii and the world, spa director roles, and eventually consulting — helping owners and developers bring world-class spa experiences to life.
What I bring to every project is hands-on experience across every phase: concept, design, operations, staffing, and opening day. I’m not handing you a playbook and walking away — I’m with you from the first conversation through your first guest checking in.

How we work
together.
Every spa project is different, but the goal is always the same — a space that delights guests and staff alike, runs smoothly day to day, and performs as a business. Here’s how I can help.
-
Design Advisory
Before construction begins, I help ensure your spa's layout, flow, and design support both the guest experience and day-to-day operations — including the behind-the-scenes systems that directly impact functionality and cost.
-
Spa Development & Pre-Opening
From concept to opening day — design review, critical path, equipment & supplies selection, vendor sourcing, budgeting, spa menu creation, and staff hiring — so nothing gets overlooked and costly mistakes are avoided.
-
Menu & Programming
Your spa menu is the first conversation you have with a guest. I create treatment menus and wellness programming tailored to your location, clientele, and the experience you want to deliver.
-
Operational Consulting
Already open but not performing the way you expected? I evaluate what's working, what's not, and build a clear plan to improve the guest experience, staff efficiency, and profitability.
