Soothe Your Spirit
Refresh your mind and renew your spirit with spa treatments that provide a quiet journey. Many spas offer gardens to enjoy before or after your treatment.
Osmosis Day Spa Sanctuary
If you’ve never tried a cedar enzyme bath, you owe it to yourself to sink into this bit of heaven in wooden tubs filled with finely ground cedar, rice bran, and plant enzymes. Arrive early, change into your robe, and have tea in the Japanese garden. The sanctuary’s Zen decor inspires meditation in its creek-side sand gardens, and creates the perfect setting for massages in outdoor pagodas amid whispering trees.
Healing Waters
Natural thermal springs, prevalent throughout the area, lend healing powers when you’re immersed in the water.
Fairmont Spa at the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn
One of Wine Country’s iconic destinations, the spectacular, state-of-the-art Fairmont Spa spans 40,000-square-feet across a rotunda, 36 treatment rooms, and indoor and outdoor pools.
Guests come from all around the world to experience the baths, fed by the resort’s own ancient source of natural thermal waters rich with 24 trace minerals. You can actually feel the earth’s healing and relaxation powers flowing from the springs 1,100 feet directly beneath the Inn.
The waters rise at 135 degrees, and are so vital they have to be cooled for guest use. The signature Bathing Ritual is a must and is included with every visit, featuring an exfoliating shower, two mineral water soaking pools, herbal steam, dry sauna, and cool down showers.
Bounty of the Earth
Connect to this area’s fertile soil through a wide variety of treatments inspired by local lavender, goat’s milk, honey, and more.
Farmhouse Inn
Talk about a fancy farmhouse. Sophisticated spa rooms at the on-site Wellness Barn glitter with fireplaces, upscale farmhouse-chic decor, and farm-to-table products that use heirloom cider apples from the inn’s home ranch plus herbs grown in Farmhouse’s kitchen garden. Indulge in a Spring Forest Honey ginger massage, or a “body melt” that uses a warm pillow of muscle healing herbs, alfalfa hay, lavender, and chamomile.
Kenwood Inn and Spa
Blink and you might miss this boutique hotel shrouded by ivy, roses, and trees on a gentle Sonoma hillside. It’s an exclusive retreat, with just 29 rooms. But here’s a secret: Even us everyday folk can indulge in pampering at the elegant, intimate spa. The full array of face and body treatments includes the Espresso & Mud Detoxifying Body Treatment, a vigorous exfoliation with volcanic pumice and coffee Arabica followed by a warm wrap of mineral-rich clay and extracts to help smooth, firm, and detoxify the skin.
Blush, A Day Spa
Even if you’re on a tight schedule, you can still fit some be-good-to-you time into your day. At this intimate retreat on the edge of old town Sonoma, you’ll discover a sophisticated and healing approach to optimal beauty and wellness, with facial and body treatments designed to balance spirit along with the body. If an entire afternoon or a day won’t fit your schedule, in as little as an hour you can enjoy a petite facial, a power cleanse/power nap/power glow treatment, or a green tea and mint foot scrub sure to put new spring in your step.
The Lodge at Bodega Bay
The Lodge at Bodega Bay’s stone building sits in a stunning setting, overlooking the Sonoma County coastline and anchored by an outdoor heated swimming pool and whirlpool spa. Beach-theme signatures include the warm shell massage with Tiger Clam seashells.
Gaige House
For guests who want the intimacy of a bed-and-breakfast but the amenities of a luxury resort, this small family-run home brims with high style and top notch service, making it one of Wine Country’s most spectacular destinations. Start your visit by relaxing poolside or in a hammock overlooking Calabazas Creek, then move on to utter bliss with treatments in the spa loft. For the most luxurious retreat, reserve a Zen Suite or even get a massage creekside or in the gardens.
