Best Self-Care Stays
Den Mother
This bohemian oasis tucked off of Abbot Kinney is so much more than a day spa. Though the space does have a cedar sauna, cold plunge, rainforest shower, and outdoor café, the practitioners are schooled in various modalities and healing , including Japanese acupuncture, Ayurvedic bodywork, functional medicine, and neuromuscular testing, offering a best-in-class wellness experience.
The Spa at Séc-he
Long before the area drew Hollywood celebs and in-the-know jetsetters, the Cahuilla Indians revered the hot, mineral-rich waters that spring up from a robust natural underground aquifer, and now the Spa at Séc-he brings the ancient healing waters of the Agua Caliente spring to the public in the most thoughtful way.
The Well at Chileno Bay
Treatment highlights of this Los Cabos destination spa include rebozo stretching, celestial bathing, and customized cleanses to help bring travelers a rejuvenated sense of self in the heart of Cabo’s coveted coastline.
