Does Spa Ojai offer couples treatments?
The Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star Spa Ojai offers a range of specialized treatments. Surrounded by the gorgeous Topa Topa Mountains in an inviting village-like setting — complete with a 50-foot bell tower and charming outdoor fireplace — the Spa Ojai offers a serene environment that sets the scene for relaxation and romance. While the waiting area for men and women is separate, you two can meet up in the duo treatment room for the 50- or 100-minute Together Massage, a side-by-side treatment that’s customized to your individual needs. Due to the size of the room, this is the only couples’ body treatment the spa offers. You can also book seasonally-inspired pedicures next to one another; just be sure to make your reservation far in advance as possible. -

What kind of wraps are offered at Spa Ojai?
Nothing beats the cozy, cocoon-like feeling of a wrap — except maybe the way your skin feels once all the layers are peeled away revealing a whole new you. The Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star Spa Ojai offers four different types of wraps that serve different purposes. The 50-minute Organic Sea Mineral and Orange Blossom and Honey body wraps are great nourishing options for someone who has spent too much time in the Southern California sun. If you’re looking for more than a moisture boost, the 100-minute Ayurvedic Detox Body Treatment utilizes a special blend of herbs and oils to flush toxins, soothe muscles, and strengthen the immune system. This relaxing and proactive treatment culminates with a mini facial and herbal tea. Another option is the ultra-luxurious Shangri-La Body Treatment, which starts with a local honey and lavender cleanse, foot scrub, full-body exfoliation and a deep heat lavender-honey body wrap. During the 100-minute treatment, you’ll receive a warm scalp treatment and an application of nourishing lavender shea butter as a finisher. We’re pretty sure you’ll feel as though you’ve found your own Shangri-La once you are done. -

What is the best way to get an appointment at Spa Ojai?
To book an appointment for a spa treatment or activity at Spa Ojai, you can call the Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star spa directly. Since the Southern California spa is very popular, it’s recommended that you schedule your appointments two to three weeks in advance to ensure you receive your preferred treatments and times. But you can also try to get in last-minute by going to the spa reception desk in person, or touching the Spa button on a hotel guest telephone. Located in a secluded valley 35 miles south of Santa Barbara, the 31,000 square-foot Moroccan-style oasis offers a variety of extravagant services such as the two-hour Journey to Ojai Facial, a multi-step treatment that does wonders for the skin and activities like the geocaching scavenger hunt. Don’t miss out on an opportunity to experience the Kuyam, a communal mud treatment not found anywhere else in the U.S.
