    • Unique doesn’t even begin to describe the wide variety of treatments and services available at The Spa & Salon at ARIA — you’re likely to leave your appointment feeling pampered and indulged like never before. Peruse the spa and salon menu, and you’ll notice a plethora of innovative treatment options. Your only obstacle will be deciding which one you want to try. If you’re planning to make your visit to the Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star spa an all-day affair, consider booking one of the spa suite packages, a sampling of the spa’s most popular services that is perfect for an indulgent day of pampering. The classic spa suite package starts at $425 per person, but it’s well worth the splurge. Yoga enthusiasts will love the traditional Thai yoga massage, which combines the basic fundamentals of yoga with acupressure and joint mobilization techniques. The Spa & Salon at ARIA is also the only spa in the country to offer Ganbanyoku beds, Japanese heated stone beds designed to simultaneously increase blood circulation, accelerate metabolism, soothe muscles and remove toxins from the body. We highly suggest taking advantage of this one-of-a-kind luxury if you get the chance.

  • Forbes Inspector answered a question:
    • Most of the spa treatments at The Spa at Aria are gender-neutral, but the Four-Star spa does offer services specifically for men, like the aptly named Man Facial, an antioxidant-packed treatment designed to cleanse, purify and clear skin. (Tip: You won't want to shave three hours prior to your service.) Other male grooming services include haircuts, head shaves and various facial trims. Need some extra pampering? Book the Royal Shave. During this 50-minute session, your face will be cleansed, exfoliated and lathered with moisturizer, and then fitted with a firming clay mask and spritzed with rose water. Who said girls have all the fun?
  • Forbes Inspector answered a question:
    • Aside from its world-renowned spa, The Spa at Aria also boasts a sleek, full-service salon. The hair treatments take center stage here — you can get a cut, color, popular Keratin straightening treatment, and even extensions — but there's also a makeup artist, a men's barber, brow tinting and a vast menu of manicure and pedicure options. Try the 50-minute Organic Nutrition Manicure, which uses natural ingredients like oat kernels and almond oil to get your hands in tip-top shape. Guests under the age of 17 must have parental supervision to receive hair-coloring or chemical treatments.
  • Forbes Inspector answered a question:
    • Everyone at The Spa at Aria is dressed alike: guests all sport identical luxurious robes and spa slippers during their visit to this Four-Star luxury spa. And while most guests prefer to enjoy treatments and massages without clothing, if you feel more comfortable with you undergarments on, feel free to wear them throughout your visit. If you want to take a post-pampering dip in one of the spa's stunning pools, you can bring your bathing suit along, but it is not mandatory here; all pools are clothing-optional.
  • Forbes Inspector answered a question:
    • Buying a gift card for use at The Spa at Aria is just as simple as using one — either call the Four-Star luxury spa directly, order online or stop by the business center or the Elements gift shop at Aria Resort. The ultra-luxe treatment options are endless, but you can't go wrong giving the men's Five Diamond Gemstone Facial, which features a serum of micronized diamonds, pure orchid extract, and a thermal masque made from roses and peonies.
  • Forbes Inspector answered a question:
    • Like Las Vegas' nightclubs and casinos, The Spa at Aria is an adult-only atmosphere. (The clothing-optional facility may be especially disconcerting to kids and adult spa-goers alike). No guests under the age of 18 are allowed. If you're vacationing with the family but still want to sneak away for some quiet time, call the concierge at Aria, who will help you find a babysitter pronto. If you're headed to the salon versus the spa, note that guests under the age of 17 must have parental supervision to receive hair-coloring or chemical treatments.
  • Forbes Inspector answered a question:
    • Nail services at The Spa at Aria's salon are a far cry from your average manicure and pedicure. The skilled manicurists are bent on restoring softness and energy and you can count on leaving moisturized and detoxified. Treat your hands and feet to a ginger-and-sake mask (a signature treatment here) or the Red Carpet Manicure, which features the use of moisturizing facial products, a lactic acid peel and polish. If your skin is sensitive to fragrances used in typical nail treatments, try the Organic Nutrition Manicure and Pedicure. It's a soothing, all-natural way to jazz up hands and feet.
  • Forbes Inspector answered a question:
    • At The Spa at Aria, you can count on doting specialists to cater to your whims with each and every lavish service. A few of these treatments, though, are above and beyond even what we expected. Here, we pick our five tip-top treatments:

      1. The spa suite packages. If you're planning on turning your spa trip into an all-day affair, the spa suite packages — which allow guests to indulge in several treatments — are the way to go. The Red Carpet package, $560 per person, is a spa suite standout and features a hot-stone massage, facial, manicure and pedicure. It's also the perfect prep for a big night out.

      2. The men's Five Diamond Gemstone Facial. True to its name, the anti-aging treatment blends actual micronized diamonds with creams and oils to moisturize and create a youthful glow.

      3. The Vichy Body Experience. This French-inspired treatment is the perfect antidote to dry, tired skin. The water-based exfoliation is for ladies only and features your choice of body polish (sugar, salt or sandstone).

      4. The Aria Signature Massage. This tried-and-true rubdown is for anyone that needs a serious release of tension and a healthy shot of rejuvenation.

      5. The Organic Nutrition Manicure. The spa's salon features top-notch manis and pedis, and this one is like a soothing, irritant-free eco-friendly party for your hands.
  • Forbes Inspector answered a question:
    • Couples who luxuriate together stay together, right? You can give our theory a test run at The Spa at Aria with a couples massage treatment. Pairs can pick a massage — either the spa's signature treatment, or one with hot stones — to enjoy side-by-side in a private spa room. A 50-minute massage will run you $185 per person, and if you want to extend the bliss a little bit longer, the 80-minute version will cost $270 per person. Afterward, hit the co-ed outdoor spa balcony — it features an infinity therapy pool and views of the resort's killer poolscape.
  • Forbes Inspector answered a question:
    • The Spa at Aria is hailed just as much for its soothing décor as for its deluxe treatments and services. The 80,000-square-foot spa's one-of-a-kind design features tranquil water gardens, Japanese Aji stone, wood accents, fresh flora, high ceilings and an abundance of natural light. The result? A true oasis that feels as if it was sprung from Mother Nature herself. Even with it's massive size (it a two-story facility with a whopping 62 treatment rooms), the Four-Star spa feels serene with a decidedly Zen-like atmosphere (maybe it's the Japanese rock garden). This spa's jaw-dropping design sets the stage for taking unabashed pampering to new heights.
  • Forbes Inspector answered a question:
    • At The Spa & Salon ARIA, a healthy and fit lifestyle is just as key to overall wellness as the spa's rejuvenating treatments. For $30, you get access to the state-of-the-art fitness center here, which features the latest cardio and weight training equipment, a staff of experts who can provide one-on-one personal training and feedback on your personal fitness goals. The gym also offers a variety of classes — spinning, abs-toning and Pilates — that you can take for a fee (prices vary by class). Bonus: After breaking a sweat, you can cool off in the outdoor infinity therapy pool on the second floor.
  • Forbes Inspector answered a question:
    • Though it's nearly impossible not relax throughout at The Spa at Aria, the spot boasts certain areas that will turbo-charge your tranquility. The nature-inspired relaxation area on the second floor of the spa has plenty of chaise lounges for you to kick back and unwind before or after your treatment. In the Shio salt room, a wall of illuminated salt bricks is said to heal skin irritations and upper respiratory issues. Here you can sink into a vibrating lounge chair and inhale air that is designed to leave your skin radiant and dewy. The Four-Star spa is the only place in the country with Japanese Gabanyoku beds, heated stone slabs that increase body circulation and metabolic speed while soothing muscles and eliminating toxins. Access to the Shio salt room and Gabanyoku beds will run you $30, but we think the splurge is well worth the unique an oh-so luxurious experience.
  • Forbes Inspector answered a question:
    • The Spa at Aria has the prototypical treats you'd expect from a luxury Four-Star spa. You can graze on healthy snacks like dried fruit and sip an array of herbal teas or citrus- and cucumber-infused water. Still hungry after your treatment? Stop by one of the many restaurants in the Aria Resort and Casino. This mega luxury resort has practically every cuisine under the sun. For a post-spa visit, we recommend a stop at Lemongrass for modern Thai food, Sweet Chill for gelato or sweet sorbet, or Breeze Café for healthy al fresco dining poolside.
  • Forbes Inspector answered a question:
    • The Spa at Aria is designed to help you unwind, decompress and enter a state of utter serenity. This is not an easy feat with Blackberries and iPhones buzzing around in the background. To that end, cell phone use is prohibited throughout the entire space of the Four-Star spa. Another bonus of the spa's forced technology detox: You have an excuse not to answer emails or phone calls for at least an hour (hopefully longer).
  • Forbes Inspector answered a question:
    • The Spa at Aria is about one thing and one thing only: heavenly and over-the-top pampering. The spa's main focus is to get you relaxed and reengergized, and its décor — which features natural materials in a calming environment — reflects the Four-Star spa's mellow ethos, as do the ultra-luxurious treatments and amenities. You'll want to check out the country's only Ganbanyoku stone beds (said to improve circulation) and the Shio salt meditation room (said help heal skin blemishes). Other feel-good attractions include a state-of-the-art fitness center and an outdoor infinity therapy pool.
  • Forbes Inspector answered a question:
    • Whether it's a business meeting that runs long or a malfunctioning morning alarm, failure to cancel your appointment at The Spa at Aria less than two hours before your scheduled time will result in a full charge for the services. (The cost will appear on the credit card you provided at the time of booking). The same stipulation applies if you need to reschedule your appointment, so be sure to call more than two hours ahead if you can't make it. Tip: Keep the spa's phone number handy so that you can reach it in a pinch.
  • Forbes Inspector answered a question:
    • The theme at The Spa at Aria is no pressure and no stress, which means you're free to customize your spa experience any way you please. Upon scheduling your appointment, you'll be asked if you have a gender preference for your massage therapist or aesthetician — and the spa will be more than happy to accommodate your request. In fact, you can rest assured the entire staff at the Four-Star spa is dedicated to leaving you in a luxurious state of ease and renewal. You can make it easy on them (and yourself) by scheduling at least a week in advance so you can secure not only your time and treatment of choice, but your therapist as well.
  • Forbes Inspector answered a question:
    • Floor-to-ceiling wood lockers, spacious gray leather benches and silver receptacles that double as hampers pepper the locker rooms at The Spa at Aria. The space is basic luxury and supremely functional — expect typical locker-room fixtures like private dressing areas, bathrooms and showers. (All lockers are equipped with a four-digit code to protect any goods you need to stash.) And if you want to use the skin-healing Shio salt room, heated Ganbanyoku stone beds, the outdoor infinity therapy pool, or the fireside lounge and gym — all of which sit just outside of the locker rooms — you will have to pay an extra $30 fee. The utter uniqueness of the facilities and healing properties of the amenities make this fee a little easier to swallow.
  • Forbes Inspector answered a question:
    • Upon booking any treatment at The Spa at Aria, a credit card number is required to hold a reservation. While the Four-Star spa and salon accepts all major credit cards, cash and Aria gift certificates as payment methods, your credit card information is required in case you need to cancel your appointment. If you have to cancel, inform The Spa at Aria more than two hours ahead of your scheduled appointment time. If you don't give at least two hours notice, your credit card will be charged the full amount of your treatment costs.
  • Forbes Inspector answered a question:
  • Forbes Inspector answered a question:
    • You might not want to opt for an in-room treatment from The Spa & Salon at ARIA since part of the fun in visiting the spa is being inside the uniquely designed and ultra-chic space. However, should you want to bring the award-winning spa treatments to your own room or suite at ARIA Resort & Casino, keep in mind that the only available in-room treatment is the ARIA signature massage. If you’d like to experience other treatments at the Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star spa, and get a sense of privacy, we suggest opting for one of the private spa suite packages. While the $425 price tag might seem a bit steep, you’re getting no less than three hours of spa and salon treatments, access to vanities and lockers, full face and body amenities, food and beverages, a three-person hydrotherapy tub and a personalized spa host attending to your every need.
  • Forbes Inspector answered a question:
    • Though The Spa at Aria wasn't filled to capacity when we visited, we recommend booking at least a week in advance to score your desired day and time. Snagging an appointment at the Four-Star spa is easy — simply call the spa directly (or the concierge if you're staying at Aria Resort) or request an appointment online and a reservations agent will contact you promptly to confirm your desired time and treatment. Reservations are accepted up to three months in advance, so if you're worried about getting in, book as soon as you've decided on a treatment.
  • Forbes Inspector answered a question:
    • Your journey to tranquility begins the moment you enter The Spa at ARIA. Once inside your gender-specific spa area, you can slip into a robe and prep for your day of bliss. (You'll find two plush sofas, a spread of magazines and two TV's in this area). The room's décor lends a serene, natural vibe — all the better to sit back and indulge in the cucumber- and citrus-infused water and a dried fruit snack. When you're ready for your treatment, you'll be led to a larger unisex waiting room, where you can flip through the latest magazines and sip cleansing herbal tea until your therapist greets you.

    • You’ll have to leave the children behind when you visit The Spa & Salon at ARIA — kids are not permitted in the facility. This does, however, give you an excellent excuse to get away and recharge solo (or as a couple with your significant other) for a few hours in a tranquil environment. Guests under the age of 18 are not permitted in the spa area whatsoever. The only exception to this rule is in The Salon at ARIA, which requires parental supervision for guests under the age of 17, particularly if there are any color or chemical services performed.

Take a look at the spa’s menu, and you’ll notice an impressive selection of innovative massages that can target any area of concern you have. If you can’t make a decision (perhaps the only snag you’ll encounter at this Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star spa), opt for the ARIA signature massage, during which your therapist will perform a customized full-body massage at your desired levels of pressure, paying attention to areas of concern and offering the option of aromatherapy. For a unique take on relieving sore muscles, the Thai poultice massage will melt away any traces of tension by using ancient Thai healing practices and warm poultices infused with ginger, lemongrass and prai extract. More customized massages include the expecting mother’s massage, sports massage, Thai yoga and couples massage.

And if you want to use the skin-healing Shio salt room, heated Ganbanyoku stone beds, the outdoor infinity therapy pool, or the fireside lounge and gym — all of which sit just outside of the locker rooms — you will have to pay an extra $30 fee. The utter uniqueness of the facilities and healing properties of the amenities make this fee a little easier to swallow.
  • The Spa & Salon at Aria has a modern zen design, featuring natural light, hand carved "aji" stone blessed by monks in Japan and shipped over to the U.S., trickling water in a multitude of black mineral stone fountains, all natural materials and finished throughout with fine fabric and glass artwork, high end furnishings and state-of-the-art equipment.
  • We have separate men's and women's lounge for gender privacy along with a co-ed lounge area where guests can relax pre- or post- treatment together. Each area has beverages and snacks; the separate men's and women's have two flat screen televisions with different programs for viewing.
  • Waiting time is minimal, but for your convenience we offer (included in your treatment payment) access to our facilities, which includes use of the wet areas, lounge areas, Ganbanyoku heated stone beds, Shio salt room, outdoor therapy pool and all amenities.
  • The spa's philosophy is to create a revolutionary spa experience, featuring relaxing and beneficial treatments within a fresh, progressive spa environment. We also hope to provide our guests with individual awareness to think, feel and connect while guiding them through a true resort spa experience.

  • The wet areas at The Spa & Salon at ARIA are some of the most unique we’ve seen at a Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star luxury spa. A $30 daily facility fee will grant you access to these water wonderlands, so you can still take advantage of them even if you don’t have an appointment at the spa. Embrace the serenity of the outdoors by taking a dip in the infinity therapy pool located on the outdoor balcony. The Vichy showers (available for women only) are a specifically designed form of water therapy that exfoliates skin using sugars, salts or sandstone signature treatments, leaving your skin feeling soft and luminous. Though not suited for sensitive skin types, the Asian bathhouse ritual is also situated underneath the Vichy showers, and is topped off with a yogurt mask and pressure point facial massage.
  • Upon booking any treatment at The Spa at Aria, a credit card number is required to hold a reservation. While the Four-Star spa and salon accepts all major credit cards, cash and Aria gift certificates as payment methods, your credit card information is required in case you need to cancel your appointment. If you have to cancel, inform The Spa at Aria more than two hours ahead of your scheduled appointment time. If you don't give at least two hours notice, your credit card will be charged the full amount of your treatment costs.
  • Whether it's a business meeting that runs long or a malfunctioning morning alarm, failure to cancel your appointment at The Spa at Aria less than two hours before your scheduled time will result in a full charge for the services. (The cost will appear on the credit card you provided at the time of booking). The same stipulation applies if you need to reschedule your appointment, so be sure to call more than two hours ahead if you can't make it. Tip: Keep the spa's phone number handy so that you can reach it in a pinch.
  • We ask that all guests lower their ringer or turn off their cell phone for the courtesy of other guests using the facilities.
  • You may purchase gift cards in person by visiting Elements inside The Shops at ARIA, by visiting the Business Services Center located in the Convention Center, by going online at www.arialasvegas.com, or by calling 702-590-9755.
  • It is the guest's choice to leave a gratuity; you may tip the staff member who provided a treatment or service to you in the reception or spa area. You may also tip for groups and/or suites.
  • The Spa at Aria does not require any dress code; it is a clothing-optional environment during treatments and while using facilities. It is recommended during a body treatment or massage that those treatments are enjoyed without clothing, although undergarments may be worn if preferred. Professional draping is performed throughout the treatment for privacy.
  • You’ll have to leave the children behind when you visit The Spa & Salon at ARIA — kids are not permitted in the facility. This does, however, give you an excellent excuse to get away and recharge solo (or as a couple with your significant other) for a few hours in a tranquil environment. Guests under the age of 18 are not permitted in the spa area whatsoever. The only exception to this rule is in The Salon at ARIA, which requires parental supervision for guests under the age of 17, particularly if there are any color or chemical services performed. 
  • You might not want to opt for an in-room treatment from The Spa & Salon at ARIA since part of the fun in visiting the spa is being inside the uniquely designed and ultra-chic space. However, should you want to bring the award-winning spa treatments to your own room or suite at ARIA Resort & Casino, keep in mind that the only available in-room treatment is the ARIA signature massage. If you’d like to experience other treatments at the Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star spa, and get a sense of privacy, we suggest opting for one of the private spa suite packages. While the $425 price tag might seem a bit steep, you’re getting no less than three hours of spa and salon treatments, access to vanities and lockers, full face and body amenities, food and beverages, a three-person hydrotherapy tub and a personalized spa host attending to your every need.
  • Though The Spa at Aria wasn't filled to capacity when we visited, we recommend booking at least a week in advance to score your desired day and time. Snagging an appointment at the Four-Star spa is easy — simply call the spa directly (or the concierge if you're staying at Aria Resort) or request an appointment online and a reservations agent will contact you promptly to confirm your desired time and treatment. Reservations are accepted up to three months in advance, so if you're worried about getting in, book as soon as you've decided on a treatment.

  • The Spa & Salon at ARIA is one of the most lavish ways to unwind, refresh and rejuvenate in Sin City, and you can continue your pampering at home by purchasing products from the spa. Upon entering the Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star spa’s lobby, you’ll notice an area where you can purchase the products used during your treatment or service. So if you’re wondering how you’ll keep up with a new body, skin or haircare regimen after your appointment at The Spa & Salon at ARIA, don’t fret — keeping up with your new look post-treatment is doable thanks to the host of products available for purchase. 
  • The Spa & Salon at ARIA goes far beyond your typical Swedish massage, basic facial or cut and color service. A big factor of the facility’s Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star status is the impressive variety of unique and cutting-edge treatments it offers. While there are a number of services to take advantage of in this sprawling 80,000-square-foot pampering sanctuary, the Thai poultice massage is one of the spa’s newest (and most popular) treatments, designed to relieve muscle tension using ancient Thai healing techniques. Your therapist will apply grape-seed oil to your entire body and, for 50 or 80 minutes, will move two steamed poultices infused with lemongrass, ginger and prai extract across any tight muscles on your body. (You might fall asleep right on the massage table.) You will be allowed to keep the poultices after the massage — drop them into a hot bath at home or in your hotel room within 24 hours.
  • All treatment rooms are completely private with warm lighting and accoutrements. A view of the pool and mountains may be seen from the fitness room and the therapy pool.
  • At The Spa at Aria, you can count on doting specialists to cater to your whims with each and every lavish service. A few of these treatments, though, are above and beyond even what we expected. Here, we pick our five tip-top treatments:

    1. The spa suite packages. If you're planning on turning your spa trip into an all-day affair, the spa suite packages — which allow guests to indulge in several treatments — are the way to go. The Red Carpet package, $560 per person, is a spa suite standout and features a hot-stone massage, facial, manicure and pedicure. It's also the perfect prep for a big night out.

  • Like Las Vegas' nightclubs and casinos, The Spa at Aria is an adult-only atmosphere. (The clothing-optional facility may be especially disconcerting to kids and adult spa-goers alike). No guests under the age of 18 are allowed. If you're vacationing with the family but still want to sneak away for some quiet time, call the concierge at Aria, who will help you find a babysitter pronto. If you're headed to the salon versus the spa, note that guests under the age of 17 must have parental supervision to receive hair-coloring or chemical treatments.
  • Salon treatments vary from manicures, pedicures, waxing, and beauty care to make-up services, hair color treatments, haircuts and barber services.
  • The entrance to The Spa & Salon at ARIA reflects the spa’s goals: to pamper, spoil and indulge you. Relaxing and re-energizing is the main focus here, and the spa’s décor seamlessly blends natural materials with a calming environment. The Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star spa’s tranquil, warm vibe is apparent the moment you enter the front door. High ceilings, natural light and water features highlight the space’s sexy, sleek design. The waiting area, divided into two sections, welcomes you to help yourself to a sampling of herbal teas, flavored water and dried fruit, and you’ll also notice two flat-screen TVs and a spread of magazines situated in front of large, plush sofas.
  • The Spa & Salon at ARIA boasts a selection of custom aromatherapy blends and essential oils guaranteed to give your spa treatment an added oomph, whether it’s to relax, uplift or detoxify. Available at $25 each, these add-on enhancements go far beyond just smelling heavenly — they are believed to be instrumental in elevating your overall health and well-being. The addition of aromatherapy is available for almost all of the Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star spa’s treatments (scalp, massage and hydrotherapy services), except for the traditional shiatsu and Thai yoga.
  • The only form of acupressure treatment available at The Spa & Salon at ARIA is in the traditional Thai yoga massage. This 50- or 80-minute treatment at the Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star spa is a combination of stretching, muscle compression and acupressure. It’s designed to bring a sense of balance and energy to your daily life, taking cues from the basic fundamentals of yoga. If focusing on pressure points is important to you, another option is the traditional shiatsu massage, a 2,000-year-old tradition that also incorporates compression pressure-point work into your massage, opening the body’s natural energy pathways.
  • Treat yourself to some luxury hydration by booking a wrap treatment at The Spa & Salon at ARIA. At $175 each, these 50-minute services at the Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star spa are designed to leave your skin feeling soft, hydrated and exfoliated with a noticeably luminous glow. Formulated to remove dead surface cells and body toxins, the ARIA seaweed wrap uses a warm application of micronized seaweed to circulate the blood and lymphatic system (be prepared to sweat!). The Thai clay aromatherapy wrap combines an exfoliating jasmine body scrub and a warm Thai white clay mask that simultaneously brightens and hydrates skin. If your goal is to awaken and refresh, opt for the fresh hydration wrap, which immediately boosts energy by using a cooling wrap after a gentle exfoliating body polish.
  • The Spa & Salon at ARIA knows that scrubs are key to healthy skin — especially if you’re prone to dry skin or spend a majority of your time in a colder climate. That’s why scrubs and other forms of exfoliation are incorporated into so many of the Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star spa’s massages, facials and body services. For a stellar scrub service, go with the 25-minute body buff, which refines skin using sugar, salt or gommage. You can also add the spa’s signature scrub to any of your massage treatments; it’s ideal for refreshing tired legs and feet. For a truly unique exfoliation treatment, indulge in the Vichy body experience, a ladies-only full-body exfoliation that combines a skin-smoothing body polish with your choice of sandstone signature treatments followed by a warm shower.
  • The theme at The Spa at Aria is no pressure and no stress, which means you're free to customize your spa experience any way you please. Upon scheduling your appointment, you'll be asked if you have a gender preference for your massage therapist or aesthetician — and the spa will be more than happy to accommodate your request. In fact, you can rest assured the entire staff at the Four-Star spa is dedicated to leaving you in a luxurious state of ease and renewal. You can make it easy on them (and yourself) by scheduling at least a week in advance so you can secure not only your time and treatment of choice, but your therapist as well.

For a post-spa visit, we recommend a stop at Lemongrass for modern Thai food, Sweet Chill for gelato or sweet sorbet, or Breeze Café for healthy al fresco dining poolside.

The skilled manicurists are bent on restoring softness and energy and you can count on leaving moisturized and detoxified. Treat your hands and feet to a ginger-and-sake mask (a signature treatment here) or the Red Carpet Manicure, which features the use of moisturizing facial products, a lactic acid peel and polish. If your skin is sensitive to fragrances used in typical nail treatments, try the Organic Nutrition Manicure and Pedicure. It's a soothing, all-natural way to jazz up hands and feet.
  • Yes, all barber services are catered to men. We also have the Man Facial, Man Tan, Purifying Back Facial and Men's Waxing services.
