From luxurious accommodations and fine dining to world-class entertainment and premier gambling, Yaamava' Resort & Casino at San Manuel has something to offer everyone. Located in Highland, CA, which is just an hour from downtown Los Angeles, the casino resort features stunning views of the San Bernardino Mountains.
In addition to a 17-floor hotel tower with 432 guest rooms and spacious suites, the luxury resort also has an elevated pool deck experience, multiple bars and lounges, luxe retail shops, a premier “stay and play” experience with more than 7,000 slots, five high-limit gaming rooms, and a generous player’s reward program.
For those seeking some relaxation, Yaamava' Resort & Casino is also home to Serrano Spa, a full-service spa and salon. Inspired by the unique spirit of the Serrano landscape, Serrano Spa offers carefully curated wellness journeys that are aligned with healing crystal energies and incorporate traditional botanicals to provide life-changing results. Guests leave feeling centered, at one with nature’s powerful beauty, and with a sense of strength, resilience and wonder.
We interviewed Shane Upson, Director of Spa Operations, to learn more about treatments to try, insider tips, and more.
Why You’ll Love It: Our guests here at Serrano Spa really love the personalized service that they receive from our team of experts.
Key Features: We have everything our guests need to relax from a mountainside terrace with breathtaking views to a water sanctuary with a cascading waterfall. Each locker room has a eucalyptus steam room, dry sauna, experiential showers with lavender shower mists, and anything and everything you need to get ready and prepare yourself after your wellness journey.
Insider’s Tip: Book your reservation now because we are close to sold out every day, and when you do visit, give yourself plenty of time to truly experience everything Serrano Spa has to offer outside of the treatments themselves.
Bonus: Each guest receives a complimentary foot soak using birchwood and magnesium salts where the guest selects the crystals of their choice to be placed in the soak to charge the water preparing you for your wellness journey.
Snacks Served: We offer an assortment of teas, fruit infused, crystal charged, flat or sparkling water. Our executive chef creates signature house made granola bars, savory lavender and cheese cookies, herbed marcona almonds and a unique selection of seasonal fresh fruit.
Splurge Treatment: Turquoise Sea Creation Facial—I can only describe it as “permissible indulgence.” Modern luxury and precisely coordinated active ingredients from the deep sea are at the heart of this treatment. Discover an invigorating sensation with surprising cool and warm elements combined with the unique Serrano Spa method. Your complete self soon surrenders to the pleasure of being nurtured, nourished, scented, and restored. The skin feels gloriously firmed, toned, plumped, and wrinkle-free.
Unique Treatment: The 80-minute Turquoise Ocean Body Ritual. Inspired by the natural currents of the ocean, this aromatic, energizing, and deeply grounding body treatment stimulates with wave like movements across the body for the ultimate sensation of total body wellness. A full-body enzyme exfoliation followed by an invigorating brushing to encourage circulation, lymphatic flow, and prepares the skin to drink in the benefits of the cocooning cream wrap to follow. To conclude, indulge in a deeply nourishing massage with botanical oil with uplifting eucalyptus and calming lavender to dispel tension and restore body and mind.
Insider’s Favorite: It is hard to choose because I love them all! Each treatment that Serrano Spa offers is unique because we layer in luxurious and top quality products into the service that nobody else does and it takes the experience to the next level. Our therapists are all carefully selected to represent the spa and they are some of the most talented experts I have ever had the opportunity to collaborate with.
