La Jolla resort spas

1. Spa Estancia at Estancia La Jolla

A list of La Jolla spa venues must include Spa Estancia, tucked within the renovated oasis Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa on 10 acres above Black’s Beach and currently featuring a new Cabana Spa Estancia package that, in addition to two full spa treatments, includes premium seating in a poolside cabana, food & drink service, Coola sun care products and more.

2. The Spa at La Valencia

Spa at La Valencia

Nine years in the making, The Spa at La Valencia Hotel beckons you to the only resort spa in The Village, replete with body treatments designed to offer a comprehensive experience in relaxation and luxury.

Treatments like the Coastal Escape massage, which incorporates CBD, are meant to mix with the seaside harmony of La Jolla, while the Glo2Facial, the only such machine south of Beverly Hills, is a results-driven therapy that heals inside and out.

All La Valencia appointments begin with an aromatherapy journey in a completely renovated, historic sanctuary steps from the shore, offering truly upscale downtime.

3. The Spa at Torrey Pines

An abundance of relaxation awaits at The Spa at Torrey Pines, on the grounds of the coastal beauty The Lodge at Torrey Pines, which now has a brand-new menu of spa treatments with some of the latest spa trends and technologies within the uniquely tranquil environment.

Unwind and rejuvenate with a La Jolla massage, body scrub or facial unlike any other, incorporating botanical and marine-based products, and make use of the spa’s sauna, pool or other luxurious amenities.

While others golf, dine or take in the incredible views off Torrey Pines, the spa is ready to transform your stress into serenity.
