Spa Day

Nothing can undo the fun and relaxation of a spa day like having to fight traffic on your way there and back. So let the pampering begin even before you get there with a relaxing flight, your favorite music from your iPod, and awe-inspiring views of the Bay Area.

Favorite destinations: Carmel, Napa, St. Helena, Calistoga, Monterey

Day trip: The perfect indulgence just for you with or without your best friend or partner.

Weekend: Whether it's a romantic spa get away, a "just us girls" weekend, or a bachelorette celebration, sometimes the extra R&R is just what is needed. No need to limit your selection to just one treatment — you'll have time to book everything that sounds good (and that you "need") including some wonderful meals and plenty of sleep.
