A selection of South Coast Winery’s award-winning wines are available by the glass, along with herbal teas, juices, sparkling cider, and cucumber water.

Indulge in wine country cuisine at The Vineyard Rose Restaurant while sampling wines crafted from grapes produced by the rich Southern California soil and Temecula Valley sun.

Bonus: After each treatment, guests are served a complimentary glass of wine from our award-winning South Coast Winery.

Guests can relax in the sauna before or after their treatments.

Insider’s Favorite: I love our Deep Relief Massage. Warm stones are used with a deep massage to achieve total muscle relaxation. Sedona mud infused with sage oil and warm towels are applied to reduce inflammation while your feet are massaged with arnica relief cream. A relaxing neck, shoulder, and scalp massage complete this stress-busting treatment! I feel very relaxed and opened up after this treatment.

The spa has a wide range of treatment rooms, including couples treatment rooms.

Unique Treatment: Our Ashiatsu Massage is quite unique as it’s a barefoot massage in which the therapist delivers deep, broad, and consistent pressure using his/her feet and body weight. The massage helps to loosen tissue congestion, relieve muscle spasms, and reach deeper layers of muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

The resort includes a heated outdoor saltwater pool featuring underwater music.

Splurge Treatment: Our 80-minute Coconut Remedy Body Ritual is a great splurge! The treatment begins with a coconut-crush body scrub to buff away tired skin cells, followed by a warm shower and full-body massage with an organic coconut lotion. A nourishing coconut oil scalp treatment and hydrating foot massage complete the treatment, leaving one relaxed and refreshed.

Guests can relax and order lunch in one of the spa pool cabanas.

Featured Products: Epicuren is the premier line we use for most of our facials and body treatments. Our brands are aligned when it comes to the environment, natural beauty, wellness, and self-care. We also carry Coola, Jane Iredale, Kopari, LightStim, Moroccanoil, and PCA.
