Inspired by the Native American term for “beautiful water,” Spa Talisa at Four Seasons Resort and Residences Napa Valley is a tranquil oasis that is centered on holistic healing for the mind and body. Its modern yet organic aesthetic serves as a soothing backdrop while guests experience total relaxation during their wellness journey. Spa Talisa’s numerous amenities include a beautifully landscaped outdoor relaxation garden, a sunken whirlpool, private patios with misting decks, and sunning decks.

The luxurious menu of treatments incorporates indigenous ingredients and premium products from Napa and Italy, which guests can enjoy in one of the spa’s eight treatment rooms, as well as two couples suites. Influenced by Calistoga’s 150-year history as a spa and wellness destination, the spa also offers signature treatments using mineral-rich mud with detoxifying and soothing properties in the outdoor mud and sun bay.

We interviewed the spa’s director, Natalie Posner, who shared insider tips, recommended treatments to try, and more.

Four Seasons Napa Valley offers a variety of stylish and well-appointed rooms, suites and residential villas.

Why You’ll Love It: There is much to love when it comes to Spa Talisa, whether it’s our incredible team or a much-needed massage, but I truly feel our guests are most enamored with the views available to them when relaxing in the Spa Garden. The vineyards surrounding us are absolutely beautiful and provide the perfect backdrop for an amazing spa experience.

Spa Talisa is a tranquil oasis centered on holistic healing for the mind and body, and features a modern yet organic aesthetic with warm wood and abundant natural lighting throughout.

Insider’s Tip: Arrive early! Not only so you may enjoy all that Spa Talisa has to offer, but also to give your mind and body the time they deserve to relax and fully enjoy the benefits of your spa treatment.

Spa amenities include a sunken whirlpool, sunning decks, and private patios with misting decks.

Key Features: We have three beautifully-appointed relaxation lounges available to our guests, as well as our giant steam rooms and oversized outdoor whirlpool. The most unique feature we have are our cool misting decks in the spa gardens. This is an outdoor space where one lies in wicker lounge chairs as cool mist rises from below to provide a refreshing moment during hot Calistoga days. This experience was designed as an interpretation of the traditional ritual of utilizing hot springs as a healing therapy.

Spa guests can enjoy the beautifully landscaped outdoor relaxation garden accompanied by stunning views.

Bonus: ​All guests receiving a treatment may also enjoy our Calistoga Mud & Sun Experience, a self-application therapy in which we gift you with your very own personal portion of mud, which you may self-apply all over the body. This experience is a fun yet relaxing indulgence.

Spa Snacks: We serve a selection of organic teas from Rishi Tea & Botanicals, as well as a variety of wellness bars from Off the Farm out of Redding, CA.

The spa is inspired by Calistoga’s 150-year history as a spa and wellness destination.

Splurge Treatment: ​The 80-minute Splendid Glow Facial from Seed to Skin is a lovely treat for yourself. The combination of The Black Magic detoxifying oxygen mask and The Golden Dew hydrating mask paired with specialized massage techniques delivers visible results in this luxe facial ritual.

The spa’s service menu features luxurious treatments using indigenous ingredients and premium products from Napa and Italy.

Unique Treatment: Our Brave Spirit Body Ritual is the ultimate mind and body experience. Beginning with a grounding foot soak and an aura cleanse by way of sage spritz and feather wisp, this treatment includes a marine algae and salt scrub followed by the targeted application of a detoxifying thermal mud and finishes with a soothing balm to nourish the skin.

In addition to eight treatment rooms, the spa also has two luxurious couples suites.

Insider’s Favorite: Our Botanical Bliss Facial designed by LIV+GRACE SKINCARE from the Napa Valley is my favorite treatment to recommend. The product line is local, clean and incredibly effective. The Brightening Antioxidant Serum is a gem!

The property offers plenty of relaxing outdoor spaces with fire pits and views of lush vines, forests, and the Palisades and Mayacamas Mountains.

Featured Products: ​LIV+GRACE Skincare from Napa Valley, Seed to Skin from Tuscany, and Biologique Recherche from Paris.
