Montage Spa

It’s the end of August, however it doesn’t mean the summer is over.  If you’re getting the kids ready for school or thinking about another getaway before that easy going summer feeling fades away, there are plenty of options still available.  One end-of-summer escape is at the nearly two year old Montage Beverly Hills.  Don’t let the 90210 zip code fool you as there are options available that offer a great value and the beauty of this Spanish Colonial and Mediterranean style resort is captivating.

If you’re in California, it may become your new ‘go-to’ spa resort to relax, recharge and reflect, especially with the spa’s wellness program and array of classes including Pilates, Yoga, Cardio and Strength.

Montage Beverly Hills is in the heart of Beverly Hills and close to famous Rodeo Drive and their luxury shops and outstanding dining options.   Not to be missed though are the dining options at Montage including The Conservatory Grill and Lobby Lounge (thinking about a little jazz and a glass of Donatiello’s Russian River Valley Pinot Noir while socializing (in person) with some friends).  And, speaking of wine, their list is quite extensive and they offer other Napa area favorites including chardonnay from the Darioush Winery and a cabernet from Shafer Winery.

Getting back to the spa.    Sometimes a one day getaway is all you need to get back on track to your path to wellness and their relaxing and nurturing ‘Day of Indulgence‘ may be the answer for you.  This option is valid from Monday through Thursday at $225 per person and includes:  Full-day access to Spa Montage facilities, a 60-minute massage or facial of your choice, Personalized fitness class in one of the private movement studios, Poolside lunch at The Conservatory Grill, and Access to the rooftop pool at Montage Beverly Hills (a great spot with amazing views of the Hollywood Hills).  (Valid through Dec. 30, 2010)

By the way, the 20,000 square-foot-spa is a two-story oasis focused on well-being and also has a co-ed Mineral Pool and state of the art fitness center.

Another option that goes beyond the summer is the Overnight Spa Escape and this package includes:  Accommodations for one-night at Montage Beverly Hills,  Two 60-minute spa treatments of choice at Spa Montage,  Daily continental breakfast for two, served in the privacy of your own room, or at one of the restaurants of Montage Beverly Hills,  (Rate of $775 per night and available through 12/30/10.)

Montage Beverly Hills, a mixed use residential/hotel, is just under two years old (opened in November 2008) and is the first hotel in Southern California to be awarded (April 2009)  Gold Level Certification under the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED (Leadership Energy and Environmental Design).

Summer at The Golden Door – Opportunity is knocking!

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010 | Adventure, California Spas, Destination Spas, Golden Door Escondido, healthy living, wellness | No Comments

If you’re familiar with the original Golden Door Spa in Escondido, CA then you know it’s one of the best destination spas in the world.  Forty guests per week find out how to live a more healthy, peaceful and joyful life and for the last 50 plus years, it has been the gold standard for destination spas.  At the usual rate of about $7500 per week (per person), it’s certainly at the high end as far as spas go.  And, people have been returning time and time again because of the experience, the care they receive and for various reasons during different times in their life.

Here’s the Big News –
This summer, and for the first time I’ve ever seen, the Golden Door Spa is offering two weeks (choose either August 1 – 8 or  August 15 – 22) for a Two-for-One rate.  So instead of $7495 per person, the rate is $3747.50 (plus tax) per person for the Sunday-Sunday, 7-night stay.  And all of the services and amenities are included.   Several massages during the week, skin care, hair consultation, herbal wraps and so much more.

Personalize your stay to transform your life.
If you want to focus on fitness, you can work with one of the top fitness trainers in the country.  The food is amazing, and Chef Dean Rucker is a genius with his spa-cuisine.  Hiking in the morning, classes during the day, lectures in the evening and a nurturing environment that promotes healing and relaxation.

If you’ve ever wanted to experience the Golden Door Spa, the original in Escondido, CA – here’s your opportunity.
Who will you re-discover beyond the Golden Door?

Space is limited (remember, 40 guests is the maximum for this one of a kind destination spa).

Summer Getaway to Two Bunch Palms

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010 | California Spas, Mineral Springs, wellness | No Comments

Ah, to just be!  That’s what I want for a summer getaway and mindful adventure.  How about you?

With the number of spa resorts in the U.S., there’s something for everyone and one in particular, Two Bunch Palms, is offering another summer promotion.   This adults-only sanctuary is offering rooms starting at $200 per night, which also includes a $200 Spa Credit for a 60- or 90-minute treatment and check-in is offered at 2p vs the usual 4p.  This offer is valid from July 19 – Sept. 30 and other restrictions apply.  Oh, this particular promotion is valid for bookings made by this Friday (7/16).

Two Bunch Palms is referred to as ‘Sacred Ground,’ by Native American Indian Tribes and for very good reason as there are healing mineral-rich waters that flow into their grotto and one of the most relaxing and rejuvenating things you can do at Two Bunch Palms is spend time in one of the two grotto pools.

Summer is a great time to relax and reconnect with nature and yourself.  This expansive resort offers quiet and peaceful surroundings with stunning mountain views and waterfalls.  Plenty of activities are available including hiking, mud baths, Watsu pools and more.  And you’ll of course want to make note of the e “Two Bunches of Palms” while on property.
