Located in a private area of the spa’s fitness center, the Aescape table uses AI to perform a 3D body scan, generating over 1.2 million data points for a personalized massage experience. Whether guests are seeking a 15-minute session or a longer treatment, muscle recovery and tension relief are now easily accessible at their convenience.

The Aescape AI massage table allows guests to select targeted areas, pressure levels, and music preferences through a touchscreen interface. The system remembers personal settings, allowing users to continue their wellness routines across different locations.

Aescape is rolling out at top resorts and spas nationwide, and the company has collaborated with thousands of individuals—spanning elite athletes to everyday individuals of diverse body types—leveraging extensive research, development, and rigorous testing to develop Aescape.

"We are dedicated to giving our guests the wellness tools to visit Bacara and leave better,” says Bradley Cance, General Manager. “Adding Aescape enhances our holistic approach to wellness by providing convenient massages tailored to their body needs. These are perfect for travelers with limited time, those addressing muscle tension after a workout or flight, or simply anyone seeking recovery. From a session with Aescape to a visit to our spa with its comprehensive offerings, we’ve elevated rest, recovery, relaxation, and rehabilitation to a whole new level.”

The 42,000-square-foot luxury spa is the premier setting for relaxation and self-care in Santa Barbara with indoor and outdoor relaxation spas, a swimming pool, a menu featuring luxury spa rituals that pay tribute to California’s scenic landscape, and more.
