Perched on a hillside in the scenic town of Sausalito, California, Casa Madrona Hotel & Spa is a Victorian-inspired boutique hotel that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and blends historic charm with modern amenities. It is located across the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco’s North Bay with close proximity to redwood forest, Muir Woods, and wineries in Sonoma and Napa Valleys. The hotel offers harbor views and stunning panoramas from its wide range of accommodations that includes hillside cottages, guest suites, and more.

The Spa at Casa Madrona is the property’s intimate and luxurious spa that offers rejuvenating treatments with all-natural ingredients from wellness brand Naturopathica for a holistic-inspired experience. The spa’s services and treatments provide a nurturing and healing approach to skin health and overall well-being. At the heart of the reimagined treatment menu are four wellness journeys that focus on water, sound, spiritual, and astrological experiences.

We interviewed Qadiri Zebrowski, Spa Manager at Casa Madrona Hotel & Spa, who shared insider tips, recommended treatments, and more.

Why You’ll Love It: Guests are most excited about our holistic approach to our spa services. We aim to curate a wellness experience that speaks to body, mind, and soul—not just the body. We believe that what might be manifesting itself externally (for example, your skin) can be a reflection of what is going on internally (for example, diet and stress). We also explore spiritual and astrological wellness journeys at the spa to touch on an individual’s overall well-being. Guests also enjoy our Naturopathic tea and tinctures.

Key Features: Our amenities range from facilities such as our gym with Peloton technology, steam room, and a wellness courtyard where guest can relax and lounge or engage in fitness-on-demand classes.

Snacks Served: Wellness Naturopatica tea and tinctures, and VitaJuwel crystal-infused water.

Insider’s Tip: Our spa specialists are eager to curate a unique wellness experience for each guest, thus we encourage them to share what their wellness concerns and needs are so the spa team can customize treatments/journeys. Our team also helps guests create rituals to practice at home, as well as Naturopathica product recommendations (also found at the spa).

Bonus: All guest are welcomed with a custom wellness tea and tincture welcome as part of their arrival experience and have an indoor and outdoor relaxation lounge. We also have a happy hour during the week where guests and locals can walk-in and get a feel for our spa services via mini treatments. We offer an express 30-minute shoulder massage, as well as a “You Pick Two” menu with seasonal 30-minute treatments that can be mixed and matched. Happy Hour services also include a glass of champagne.

Unique Treatment: The Guided Spiritual Journey or the Guided Astrological Journey. More information about both is below:

• Guided Spiritual Journey: Uniquely customized to answer questions, offer inspirational wisdom, and inspire healing, this Wellness Journey brings awareness to what is unconscious and deeply opens and prepares the body and energy fields for one’s true nature to expand. Sessions may include connections with Spirit Guides, and discussion on everything from cultivating intuition, to grieving and recovery, to connecting with spiritual realms. 90 minutes/$315; conducted via phone with a recording offered for future use.

• Guided Astrological Journey: The Astrological Journal is meant to bring clarity, greater meaning, and purpose to guests by interpreting their natal chart. The natal chart maps out planetary influences that affects one’s being and provides insight and offers solutions for life’s obstacles. This one-on-one Wellness Journey brings the body, emotions, and mind into a greater state of harmony. 90 minutes/$315

Splurge Treatment: Casa Water Journey. This private in-room ritualistic communion with water, sound, and aroma encourages physiological and emotional healing. This journey includes magnesium bath salts, herbal tea, optional meditation, and a customized massage. ($195/60 minutes, $255/90 minutes)

Insider’s Favorite: We love our Vibrational Sound Journey. This Wellness Journey (enjoyed as a group, individually or in addition to a signature treatment) employs crystal Tibetan singing bowls, tuning forks, and other instruments combined with healing frequencies (420 HZ) to engage guests with energy healing that distills the essence of music and vibration into harmonic tones to promote deep healing and cellular regeneration.

Featured Products: Naturopathica, a wellness line that promotes holistic health and earth-based beauty rituals.
