La Costa Resort and Spa

Inside, 42 treatment rooms are the setting for signature treatments such as the AGUA de la VIDA (water elements with a body scrub), massages and facials. Pictured is the co-ed lounge area, where guests can relax, have a cup of tea, and await their next experience.

Spa patrons also have complimentary use of the outdoor pool, indoor and outdoor whirlpools, an outdoor Roman waterfall shower, a cedar sauna and a semi-private, clothing-optional sun deck.

La Costa Resort and Spa is also home to The Chopra Center, founded by Dr. Deepak Chopra and Dr. David Simon. Complimentary yoga is offered; additionally, guests can sign up for signature treatments such as a Vishesh massage or an indulgent Pizichilli (a continuous stream of warm herbal oils massaged into your skin by two therapists).

The Yamaguchi Salon takes a feng shui approach to traditional salon services like haircare, manicures and makeup application. Private consultations with Billy Yamaguchi are coveted, so reserve in advance.
