FACIALS
Emerge from our facial rituals renewed by the healing splendor of coastal California. Ground by hand with our signature Spa Alila milling stones, each ingredient surrenders its restorative bounty. All facials feature gua sha, which applies light pressure using a flat obsidian stone like those once coveted by the native Kumeyaay people. Gua sha relieves tension in the muscles of the face, boosts blood circulation, and encourages lymphatic drainage, resulting in skin that looks smoother and more lifted.

MASSAGES
Inspired by the soothing rhythm of the sea and the native people who first lived here on its shores, our massage and energy therapies wash away the tensions of both body and mind. As in ancient Kumeyaay practices, healing indigenous herbs including arnica, eucalyptus, dwarf pine and lavender are gathered into warm poultices and oils, simultaneously easing pain and enlivening the spirit when applied to the skin. Other natural tools, such as Himalayan salt, obsidian gua sha and basalt sea stones, permeate even the innermost layers of muscles while the transcendental vibrations of Tibetan sound bowls and focused energy work unburden the depths of the soul.
