Montage Resort and Spa Laguna Beach

Spa Montage at Montage Resort

 Here in our vibrant artists’ colony of Laguna Beach where mountains and sea converge, we draw inspiration from nature to bring all aspects of your life into artful balance.

Your personal journey is the masterful canvas that is transformed by our Art of Spa. We combine our therapists’ extensive knowledge with the ocean’s many beneficial properties and a wealth of soothing indigenous botanicals to inspire positive and powerful change inside and out.

The ocean plays a key role in achieving personal balance. Breathing deeply of the ocean air and watching the mesmerizing waves relieve stress and can enhance feelings of calm and inner peace. And the ocean’s bounty, including mineral-rich seaweed and salts, infuses our botanical treatment products with elements the body lacks to renew, refresh and boost the body’s immune system.

Let us re-connect your body and mind with treatments that detoxify, replenish and balance, then enhance body and spirit with your choice of a personal fitness program or wellness class as ocean breezes caress your skin.

Rejuvenate mind and body in the eucalyptus steam or redwood sauna. Indulge in the outdoor cold plunge or whirlpool. Lounge in the private outdoor spa garden. Or relax by the fireplace as you enjoy seasonal organic teas and fruit in our relaxation lounges for men and women.

For your customized experiences, we offer both indoor and outdoor treatment rooms, including a signature couples’ suite and three specialty suites with outdoor relaxation gardens.

Our oceanfront spa lap pool is the ideal co-ed gathering spot before or after your spa services. Exclusive to adult spa guests, you’ll enjoy stunning panoramic views and may select light meals or signature smoothies from our inspired menu of healthy options that includes vegan and vegetarian choices.

A light-filled fitness center, yoga and movement studio, and contemporary full-service salon also offer highly personalized solutions to enhanced well being. Enjoy a group fitness class, yoga, T’ai Chi, our signature lecture series or a private life coaching session against the backdrop of sun-dappled waves. Or let our salon stylists enhance your inner and outer beauty with an experience such as our signature Spa Montage manicure and pedicure. While the nail services are therapeutic, the stunning ocean views are a blissful bonus.

Let us introduce you to our holistic approach that addresses you and your life as a whole, bringing your inner beauty outward and allowing a life of balance and health to unfold.

Hilton Head Health Institute

Hilton Head Health Institute

Hilton Head Health weight loss spa promotes healthy weight loss through our three core elements: Fitness, Nutrition, and S.E.L.F. (Stress Management, Empowerment, Longevity and Fulfillment). This behavioral weight loss camp works because it changes your life more than any health spa or ‘fat farm’ can.

With over 30 years of success in adult weight loss, our medically sound program will help you develop a foundation for healthy weight loss that is sustainable because it is built into your healthy lifestyle – no more binge dieting or guilt.

With our healthy weight loss programs, you acquire the habits, knowledge, and a positive attitude necessary to lose weight and keep it off…permanently. This healthy weight loss retreat will serve as the cornerstone of a healthy diet and lifestyle that will help you look and feel your best, as well as ward off chronic disease.

Healthy Weight Loss Programs for Serious Adults

Our healthy weight loss spa is for adults who are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. At Hilton Head Health – The Weight Loss Health Spa – we pamper the inner person by providing the foundation for healthy weight loss that goes home with you and stays with you. Our health spa and weight loss retreat can become part of your healthy lifestyle for good.

Grounded in the best medical knowledge, Hilton Head Health’s weight loss spa program provides you with the tools needed to realize permanent healthy weight loss through health, nutrition, and fitness. Unlike most weight loss camps or weight loss retreats, we focus on the behaviors and choices you can change, and build them into routines you can keep. No short-term fad, this is a serious weight loss retreat designed to become an integral part of your lifestyle over the long haul.

When you get to know us, you’ll be familiar with four aspects of our healthy lifestyle program and how it will lead to healthy weight loss for you:

Fitness: A personalized health and weight loss exercise plan, incorporating your needs and fitness level, will help maintain your weight loss at home. As part of the Hilton Head Health weight loss approach, this personalized exercise regimen is designed to complement your healthy eating habits. If you’re trying to manage diabetes, high blood pressure, or other chronic conditions, a true healthy lifestyle that incorporates fitness training is the best approach. For an extra dose of fitness training “weight loss boot camp” style, try our Fitness Specialty Weeks and 3 Day Workshops.

Nutrition: Our award-winning health spa cuisine is delicious as well as reduced in carbs, sodium, and fat, offering a nutritional balance of lean protein sources, fresh fruits and vegetables, and just the right balance of healthy, unrefined carbohydrates that you need for total health. We offer fun and informative cooking demonstrations where you learn quick and easy weight loss recipes. At Hilton Head Health weight loss spa, you will learn more about healthy foods, cooking and how to choose nutritious yet delicious meals.

Self-Awareness and a positive attitude: It’s easy to talk about healthy habits for weight loss, another thing entirely is to achieve them. A critical part of our weight loss retreat addresses the ways you might be sabatoging your own success, and teaches methods to focus on the positive and how to incorporate it into your lifestyle. You may also want to take advantage of our 3 Day Getaways focused on Stress Reduction, or a focused 3 Day Workshop.

Knowledge: We are not the type of weight loss camp or so-called fat farm that promises a quick fix through gimmick diets or crash diets. Instead, we use current medical knowledge about nutrition and fitness and how these relate to weight loss. Then, we incorporate this knowledge into a personalized healthy weight loss program for each guest. Part of your retreat at our weight loss spa will be spent learning the facts about what it takes to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestlye.

Hilton Head Health is no ordinary weight loss clinic or weight loss camp. We serve adult men and women who intend to take charge, and a two week retreat in our healthy weight loss health spa gives you the tools for success. This is not a typical one-size-fits-all fat farm: it depends on a partnership between our weight loss spa program, staff, and you to create a serious, long-term lifestyle change.

At Hilton Head Health, you’ll learn to lose weight the healthy way. Healthy eating doesn’t mean depriving yourself. We teach you about ‘unwise, better, best’ when it comes to your food choices. Becoming aware, through education and insight, will help you overcome discouragement, broaden your horizons, and make the best weight loss choices for you.

Golden Door Escondido

Golden Door – Escondido

Experience the extraordinary healing power of Golden Door. Amid the rolling hills and citrus groves of San Diego County, founder Deborah Szekely developed a unique philosophy of personal health and fitness – little knowing she was about to start a revolution that resulted in the birth of an entire industry. Szekely and her husband managed a modest retreat known as “Rancho La Puerta” – or “The Door” in Spanish” – which grew from a “bring-your-own-tent” health farm to a beautiful, Spanish-style adobe resort. Eventually, in response to requests from guests for a higher level of luxury, Deborah opened a new property in 1958 that combined intensive training in personal health with gracious hospitality, inspired by the ancient Honjin inns of Japan. As the source of inspiration for the rest of our luxury spa retreat portfolio – from our mountain-cradled Colorado destination spa resort at The Peaks to our vibrant Caribbean property along the Puerto Rican coast at El Conquistador & Las Casitas Village – Golden Door offers a rare approach to restoring well-being. Journey through the fabled doors of one of our premier luxury spas, and discover an inspired combination of features, including:

* Ancient Asian influences, offering gracious hospitality within a quiet sanctuary
* Environmental inspirations, taken from each individual location and beautifully weaved throughout the architecture and design of spa treatments
* Classic European spa techniques, featuring well-trained, professional staff and the most luxurious and indulgent of therapies

Murad Inclusive Health Center

Murad Inclusive Health Center and Spa

While there are hundreds of theories on aging and disease, all share
one common final pathway: cellular water loss.

Everything we do at the Murad Inclusive Health Center® is based on the science of
The Cellular Water Principle®. It’s a whole body approach to anti-aging developed by Dr. Howard Murad, renowned dermatologist, trained pharmacist and Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine at UCLA.

It begins with a scientific truth: Water is the essence of life. As you age, internal and external elements damage the cells and weaken their ability to retain water. This can result in wrinkles and sagging skin that make you look older than you are. It can even contribute to disease.

Using The Cellular Water Principle®, we can repair and strengthen the cells throughout your whole body and hydrate them to turn back the clock on the signs of aging.
Clients have experienced remarkable results including:

* Tightened and firmer skin with improved overall skin clarity
* Increased energy, mental acuity and metabolism
* Reduced body fat
* Stronger hair, nails and connective tissue
* Decreased bloating, puffiness and joint pain
* Improved digestion, circulation, bone density and sleep pattern

Glen Ivy Spas

Glen Ivy Hot Springs Spa

Enter the world of Glen Ivy Hot Springs and leave the rest of the world behind. You’ll find an intriguing combination of the French Riviera, deep-sea grotto, tropical paradise, tranquil forest retreat, and modern day spa. Over the passage of time, people such as Native Americans, Spaniards, and stagecoach travelers have sought relaxation and healing in Glen Ivy’s natural mineral waters that bubble forth from deep within the earth. Today, this natural place of rejuvenation offers so much more, 11 acres in all. Enjoy a red clay mud bath or mineral springs soak, a moisturizing Grotto treatment or full body massage Under the Oaks. You cannot appreciate this exotic paradise until you escape here yourself.

 Brea and Valencia have something in common. They are all home to a Glen Ivy Day Spa. So if you don’t have the time to travel to Corona, perhaps you’ll find one of our smaller spas to be more convenient. And when we say “smaller,” we simply mean smaller than our 11-acre Hot Springs Spa. But each location is just as big on services, ammenities and making certain that each and every person who walks through the door won’t want to leave. Perhaps that’s why our day spas have garnered several major awards including “Distinguished Day Spa of the Year” from The Day Spa Association, “Best Day Spa” from the American Spa Magazine and “Best Day Spa in Orange County” from the OC Register.

Each of our day spas boast separate men’s and women’s facilities, complete with lockers, showers, steam room and jacuzzi.  Complimentary robe, slippers, and towels await you when you arrive for your spa experience.
