Our Inspector's Highlights
- 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 secluded spa offers a serene environment that sets the scene for relaxation and romance.
- It’s easy to forget that you are just 35 miles south of Santa Barbara while inside the Moroccan-inspired oasis.
- One signature treatment is the two-hour Journey to Ojai Facial, a multi-step treatment that does wonders for the skin and activities like the geocaching scavenger hunt.
- 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, and Spa Ojai offers four different types of wraps that serve different purposes and give you that fresh feeling.
Things to Know
- To book an appointment for a spa treatment or activity, you can call the spa directly.
- Since the 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.
- 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.
- In the event that you need to cancel, be sure to provide at least six hours notice.
The Treatments
- Along with basic massages like Swedish, deep tissue and pregnancy, Spa Ojai offers a host of specialty massages.
- The Essence in Balance is an amazing three-hour journey that includes a consultation to create your own signature aromatherapy blend.
- Another of the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star spa's highlights is the incredible Abhyanga Four-Hand massage — inspired by Eastern tradition — in which two therapists work simultaneously, thus providing the ultimate relaxing experience.
- Whether it’s jet-lag or last night’s dinner that’s slowing you down, the detox massage will get you back to where you need to be, thanks to a specialized technique that stimulates the body’s natural lymphatic system to help eliminate toxins and restore balance and clarity.
