The Red Door Salon and Spa at the Westin La Paloma in Tucson, Arizona.

Tucked away in the foothills of Tucson’s Santa Catalina Mountains in Arizona, The Westin La Paloma Resort and Spa offers guests countless options for exploring health and wellness, including the famous Red Door Salon and Spa. Nicolas Watkins, General Manager at the Red Door Salon and Spa at the Westin La Paloma, shares his favorite spa features, must-try treatments, and more.

Why You’ll Love It: Guest love that they can book a quick brow fix, a custom facial, or a luxurious spa day all under one roof. Our streamlined menu features a selection of salon and spa services, including facials, massage and body treatments, nails, hairstyling, waxing and makeup services, which can be customized to each guest's needs – it makes everything so easy! At The Red Door Spa we pride ourselves on making a connection. We not only make our guest feel welcome and valued, but we take pride and joy in what we do!

Key Features: The Red Door Spa and Salon at The Westin La Paloma offers an array of amenities. We have a private outdoor patio with a co-ed outdoor Jacuzzi, which is covered by wonderful overhead heaters during the colder months. Additionally, within the spa’s separate men’s and women’s changing facilities we offer steam rooms and saunas, along with showers.

Bonus: At the spa we offer lunch, which is part of an exclusive menu from the Westin La Paloma Azul restaurant. We also offer an entire menu of wine and other alcoholic beverages. Whether you're here to relax or having a fun spa day with friends, you can enjoy a drink throughout your spa experience.

Splurge: A true indulgence (and one of my favorites!) would be our Escape Detoxifying Body Treatment followed by an additional 25 minutes of massage. The use of seaweed, sea salt, amino acids and vitamins helps draw out the toxins and rebalance your skin, which cleanses and purifies the body. To end the experience in pure bliss, I add on a 25-minute massage to relax and to set the mind. It’s an overall fabulous experience!

Snacks: We offer Biscotti that pairs wonderfully with a nice cup of coffee or tea, as well as apples and other seasonal fruits throughout the year.

Most Unique Treatment: I find that adding Himalayan salt stones to body and massage services is our most unique treatment as the stones are virtually untouched by pollution. It's similar to the technique of a hot stone massage, however, this treatment provides the opportunity for the skin to be exposed to 84 minerals and trace minerals contained in our body. The salt stones create a profound therapeutic effect, mildly exfoliating the skin and reducing inflammation, while also providing a synergistic balancing effect over the reflex points and meridians of the body.
