10 Best Spas in San Diego
The Spa at Estancia La Jolla
What’s the vibe at this place?
Counter all that California modern with the lush gardens and Mediterranean vibes of this Spanish-Colonial palace in La Jolla. Estancia spans 10 acres, but the spa feels like an intimate hideaway within the property.
Take us into the room. How was the session itself?
Body treatments use aloe, ginger, and spirulina to refresh the skin, while essential oil massages soothe tight muscles. For a quick pick-me-up, bank a 25-minute facial or back treatment that cleanses via a Clarisonic.
Nice. What about after the treatment?
There's a eucalyptus steam room, plus men's and women's whirlpools and fireplace-equipped outdoor lounges. The main event is the (usually bustling) outdoor saltwater pool, where a bar, daybeds, and sizable cabanas ensure a steady crowd.
What do they do best here, then? And how can we make sure we get the most out of it?
It's a popular spot for girlfriend spa days. Pack a swimsuit and some SPF to get the most bang for your buck.
