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.

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.

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
