While I broil, a woman with very strong hands obliterates all the tension in my body by pushing her thumbs into a previously unremarkable section of my temples. A spa day is a beautiful thing. The right treatment can shove away anxiety, unknot uptight muscles, soothe stressed-out skinβand even help you see yourself and the world from a new perspective.
Go find your baked-potato bliss. But no. After a zen-inducing , full-body rubdown with coastal sage-infused oil, your service provider switches on a half-dozen shower heads for some hydrotherapy right there on the table.
Serenity awaits at this newly renovated spa βa chic, coastal-inspired oasis. Scope out the eucalyptus steam room, showers, lounge, fitness center, heated pool, and hot tub before checking out. The Lodge at Torrey Pines is a local legend for good reason. In the subterranean trenches of a casino resort, the sleek Spa Ritual offers a jetted hot tub in gendered changing rooms, plus a steam room and sauna, while the co-ed outdoor pool and lazy river bring the fun on warm, summery days.
The Oxygen Facial will plump up your skin while you get your hands and neck rubbed. Tack on the Reduce hot stone massage for a decadence upgrade. A Miraval-branded San Diego spa has taken up residence at Park Hyatt Aviara βthe only one of its kind operating outside Miraval wellness resorts. A sauna, steam room, whirlpool tub, and adults-only pool await. The hidden oasis is sandwiched between the city and the bay, the ideal getaway for busy downtown folks.
The spa, though, offers enough services and features to make it worth a stop in its own right. Treat yourself to a Deluxe Hydrafacial that combines lymphatic drainage, deep moisture, peptide boosts, nourishing seaweed, and LED light therapy for radiant skin that glows from the inside out.
