Despite its laid-back, surf-culture reputation, Los Angeles is still a bustling and busy city that can feel quite chaotic. It’s no surprise, then, that this star-studded town is no stranger to five-star spas. From sensational body scrubs to slimming body wraps, L.A. is at the center of cutting-edge treatments that leave you glowing from the inside out. While luxury hotels from the Dorchester Collection and Peninsula boast some of the most beautiful spas in the city, there are a few boutique establishments that provide a cozy and intimate setting for locals to unplug.
You’ll also find traditional Japanese spas that provide the ultimate zen experience in the heart of Beverly Hills, along with cliff-side spas that boast Pacific Ocean views right from your treatment room. Though there’s nothing wrong with a weekly massage, most people consider a high-end spa day a splurge, making it the perfect pampering gift when celebrating something special. From anniversaries to birthdays, a spa treatment is always appreciated. Spa packages also offer a more affordable way to enjoy multiple treatments in one setting for the ultimate self-care session. Whether you need a hydrating facial or deep-tissue massage, here’s where to have a serene spa day in L.A.
Tucked away on a windy road in the hills of Bel-Air, this Dorchester Collection property is an iconic L.A. establishment that offers bespoke treatments in a modern and airy spa sanctuary. Those seeking a day of wellness at Hotel Bel-Air can expect heated massage tables, Valmont skin care products, private steam rooms and even personalized music in your treatment room. If you don’t want to choose between a massage or facial, opt for the three-hour Ultimate Escape, which includes both before concluding with a signature manicure and pedicure.
This boutique spa is a quiet and relaxing oasis in the center of the city. Upon walking into the orange, casita-style building, guests are led to the dressing room, where they can cozy up in a fluffy robe and slippers before being treated to a glass of champagne in the fireside lounge. Treatments range from Himalayan salt therapies to hydrotherapy. The Complete Relaxation package starts with a private soak in a massive copper tub surrounded by moody candles, and followed by a Swedish massage in one of the peaceful outdoor treatment tents. Finally, your experience ends with a facial that uses high-quality, paraben-free products.
Tomoko Japanese Spa is the definition of zen, and is a favorite among Hollywood celebrities including Jessica Alba and Mindy Kaling. In addition to a physical release, each of the luxurious treatments also aids in mental and emotional well-being, with the signature Tomoko spa massage bringing balance, and the Oriental massage providing a more intense, deep-tissue experience. The exclusive Bigan facial and scalp massage shaping treatment offers mental and physical rejuvenation, using massage and acupuncture techniques. No matter which treatment you choose, Tomoko treats guests to a welcome tea, light bite and traditional foot bath before their massage.
Escape the city chaos with a quick trip to the Spa at Terranea. Located on the outskirts of L.A. County in the affluent, buff-side community of Palos Verdes, this award-winning spa boasts sweeping ocean views from the spa pool and outdoor facilities. Before your treatment, hit the cold plunge and soak in the hot tub while admiring the scenery. Some of the private treatment rooms even offer ocean views, where you can indulge in spa services including the Honey Body Bliss, which uses a special brown sugar scrub made with honey from the hotel’s very own bee hives.
Situated in the heart of Santa Monica’s lively Main Street, Alchemie Spa is a modern-day spa that offers a variety of massages and facials.

Whether you’re in the mood for a gentle and relaxing massage or need something more therapeutic, each massage can be enhanced with hot stones, a scalp treatment, cupping or CBD oil. While the holistic facials will leave you glowing, the Hydrafacials take hydration to the next level.
