Club Mud guests can enjoy the therapeutic benefits of California red clay in the 'Wafa' cave.

Insider Tip: One of the best kept secrets on the property is that you can reserve Ivy Terrace Lounge chairs for $30 for the day. These are up on our cabana deck and come with concierge service as well. The deck overlooks the property and it gives you an amazing view of the lush landscape of the resort as well as the local mountains. We’ve also just opened our new Secret Garden. This area offers a lovely shaded deck under century-old oak trees, as well as cabanas and a grass lawn for lounging and picnics. It is secluded from the rest of the property and is a wonderful place for quiet relaxation or a private event.

Snacks Served: We actually have a lovely restaurant, the Ivy Kitchen, that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner throughout the day. Here, we are serving a farm-to-table menu that highlights our orchards and the fresh produce we grow on the property. Then we have a grab-and-go outlet, GOCO Café, which serves Starbucks and a selection of our own sandwiches, salads and pastries. The Chill Zone serves fresh-pressed juices, smoothies and frozen yogurt. Lastly, Lounge 1860 is our cocktail lounge. It serves beer, wine and a variety of wine-based cocktails including margaritas, mimosas and more.

The grotto offers a relaxing neck-to-toe experience in a secret cave.

Splurge: If I wanted to splurge, I’d enjoy our 80-minute Quartz Massage. Using a Gharieni Quartz Table, exclusive to the area, this treatment is based on the Ancient Greek concept of “psammotherapy.” Dry heat from the warm quartz sand ergonomically cradles the body to alleviate muscle and joint pain, offering relaxing effects to the body and soul.

The Quartz Massage alleviates muscle and joint pain with the deep, dry heat of quartz sand.

Most Unique Treatment: Our Tranquillity Pro-Sleep is a unique experience that deeply relaxes the body and mind using sensorial synergy of delicate textures, aroma-therapeutic scents and the power of human touch. Inspired by Ayurveda and the Indonesian archipelago Malay, this exceptional ritual favors sleep, aids in recovery from chronic stress, and is ideal for jet lag recovery.

The property has cabanas that come with personalized service and dedicated menus.

Insider Favorite: I love our Sole Focus. This service has extended focus on the feet, designed to promote full body relaxation, reduce stress, decrease pain and improve sleep. It uses modified Zone Theory on the soles of the feet to stimulate points on the feet that improve circulation, calm the mind and relieve tension throughout the body.

Featured Products: [comfort zone] is our primary partner for skin care and massage. However, we also use products from SpaRitual and Farmhouse Fresh in our nail care services. And our retail store and salon offer a wide range of brands including COOLA, Jane Iredale, NuFace and more.
