Spa Profile: Loma De Vida Spa & Wellness

Loma De Vida Spa & Wellness is located at La Cantera Resort and Spa in San Antonio, Texas.

La Cantera Resort & Spa is a luxurious and spacious getaway located just 20 minutes from San Antonio International Airport. The Hill Country oasis includes two world-class golf courses, five sparkling heated pools, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and a destination spa. Featuring decor inspired by the famous King Ranch in South Texas, the 496-room property also has 34 boutique-style villas, along with an exclusive adults-only floor.

Situated on one of the highest points in San Antonio, the 25,000-square-foot Loma De Vida Spa & Wellness is immersed in nature and offers beautiful views of the Texas sky. It invokes the spirit of the Hill Country and Texas through traditional spa offerings, signature experiences that are indigenous to the area, and results-oriented services that integrate technology and nature. A wide variety of wellness classes are also offered, ranging from Vinyasa yoga to mindful movement, and more.

We interviewed Sonia Cadlaon, Sr. Spa Manager at Loma De Vida Spa & Wellness, who shared insider tips, favorite spa services, and more.

The luxury property is immersed in nature and situated on one of San Antonio’s highest points, offering stunning views of the Texas sky.

Why You’ll Love It: From the moment they step into the spa, guests feel as though they’ve been transported to another place. Loma de Vida Spa & Wellness is a secluded sanctuary immersed in nature and situated on one of the highest points in San Antonio with breathtaking views of the Texas sky. The spa invokes the spirit of the Texas Hill Country to inspire traditional spa offerings, signature experiences indigenous to the area, and results-oriented services integrating technology to create a true sense of balance and well-being. 

The spa has relaxing outdoor spaces where guests can spend time before and after their treatments.

Key Features: The spa features a beautiful co-ed, outdoor infinity-edge heated pool, and hot tub overlooking the Resort Golf Course and Hill Country. There are gender-separated solariums with steam rooms, dry saunas lined with pink Himalayan salt bricks, and a saline vitality pool. 

Guests can also relax next to the fireplace in the indoor lounge while taking advantage of the beautiful views.

Snacks Served: Fresh juices, acai smoothies, acai bowls, fresh sandwiches and salads, as well as fabulous champagne and wine offerings from our in-spa café, Quenche. 

Bonus: The women’s solarium has an experience shower with pink Himalayan salt that guests can use to exfoliate skin, which a unique amenity we are proud to offer. 

Insider’s Tip: Guests who want a private experience should look at booking the Grotto. It’s perfect for a couple’s retreat or for a girlfriend getaway. It has a private outdoor pool, a waterfall, and lounge chairs, as well as access to the treatment rooms. Another insider tip is that all-day access to the spa’s amenities is included with a treatment booking. Guests will have access to our movement classes, gym, and pool access. They are welcome to make a day out of their visit. 

The men’s and women’s quarters each have their own steam rooms, dry saunas, and saline vitality pools.

Unique Treatment: The Micronutrient Wrap with a CBD Oil Massage is our most unique treatment. Guests can immerse themselves in total wellness with high-grade micronutrients and minerals to obtain improved health, better body contouring, and overall well-being. Most people are deficient in essential micronutrients—even those who eat healthy diets and take vitamins.

Our transdermal (topical) application process relieves stress and hydrates the body as it tightens and tones, leaving skin replenished and smooth; and the body more relaxed, sculpted, and healthy. The treatment will conclude with a full-body CDB oil massage to further enhance circulation and nutrient absorption, while easing away daily stressors and inflammation with the proven properties of CBD oil.

In addition to the main spa building, guests can enjoy their services in a garden cabana.

Splurge Treatment: For a luxurious treatment, I suggest booking the Skyloft, which is a private escape featuring two massage tables, indoor shower, outdoor soaking tub, and a private deck. Enjoy this along with the Absolute Texas Treatment or a couple’s massage, where you can relax together in a tranquil setting. 

For an ultra-luxurious experience, guests (and couples) can book the Skyloft—a private area that has a private deck and outdoor tub.

Insider’s Favorite: Absolute Texas, which is locally crafted ritual with beeswax, honey, and a touch of lavender to remind guests that they’re right here in Texas Hill Country. Be scrubbed, wrapped, and massaged while surrounded by the big Texas sky.

The spa invokes the spirit of the Hill Country and Texas to inspire traditional spa offerings, signature experiences indigenous to the area, and results-oriented services.
