Insider’s Favorite: My favorite treatment would have to be our Wellness Sense Journey. It truly combines our Sense of Place philosophy with the best of our spa treatments. It begins in the Spa Garden, where guests have a choice of yoga, Pilates, or a personal training session with a private instructor before having some time to relax and enjoy our spa amenities. The experience ends with a 90-minute ‘Like a Fertile Land’ Massage, allowing for full relaxation.
At the center of the spa, a co-ed relaxation lounge opens into a courtyard graced with a soothing fountain.
Unique Treatment: The spa’s most unique treatments are our Lost Remedies Treatments. These are four 90-minute treatments that are designed to restore the natural flow of energy back to the body and balance the natural biorhythms. Each of our treatments is themed to a season, aligning the body to the appropriate season and resetting our inner clocks.
Guests can also enjoy a meal or drinks at the poolside cafe.
Splurge Treatment: My favorite ‘splurge’ treatment would have to be our Rosewood Signature Extreme 360° Ritual. Using products from EviDenS de Beauté, this unforgettable eight-step ritual was designed exclusively for Rosewood Hotels and Resorts. Your treatment begins with a neck, back, and shoulder massage, which has relaxing effects not only for your back but also for your facial muscles. Specially developed to stimulate cell renewal and to actively fight against signs of aging, this treatment has been developed for dehydrated and life-stressed skin looking to regain radiance, energy, and firmness.
Inspired by its location in Northern California, Rosewood Sand Hill offers a resort-like atmosphere for business and leisure.
Featured Products: Our spa features an impressive retail store with a wide variety of spa products. Some of my favorite products are from EviDenS De Beauté and Maison Caulières skincare lines. We also carry various skincare tools, makeup, haircare products, sunscreen, candles, and clothing.
