We interviewed the Spa Director at The Resort at Pelican Hill, to learn more about treatments to try, insider tips, and more.
Why You’ll Love It: Guests enjoy the grand welcome as they enter the spa lobby. The open space, minimal décor, and grand pillars give them a sense of serenity.
Key Features: Our saltwater Jacuzzi in the Acqua Colonnade is a unique feature. We recommend that guests come at least 45 minutes early to enjoy this incredible space. Inspired by the Roman baths, guests can alternate between the saltwater jacuzzi, steambath, and sauna. There are two separate Acqua Colonnades, one for men and one for women.
Snacks Served: We offer delicious blondies, organic granola mix, dry fruit, tea, fruit-infused water, detoxifying green juice, and sparkling wine for special celebrations.
Insider’s Tip: Our Love Local Package allows our local guests to enjoy the Spa and have a full Resort experience with the booking of a 90-minute treatment from Monday to Thursday. The biggest draw is access to the Coliseum Pool, which is only available to Resort guests except for this special spa package. The Coliseum Pool is notable because it is the largest circular pool in the U.S., heated to a perfect 80 degrees every day, and 3 feet deep all the way across.
Splurge Treatment: Our 90-minute HydraFacial is a must splurge treatment. This treatment is truly result-driven, allowing for the best version of your skin.
Favorite Treatment: My favorite treatment right now is our Lymphatic Massage. It caters to my mind, body, and soul with comforting strokes and movement. I feel a sense of well-being after each session.
Unique Treatment: Our Mosaic Ritual offers head-to-toe wellness and relaxation, using aromatic herbs and Shiatsu body massage modality.
Featured Products: Natura Bissē, Naturopathica, HydraFacial, Phytomer, and Body Bliss.
