The concept of spas as wellness centers has created a shift and new trend in the industry, as many more spas are creating customized treatments that speak and cater to the individual rather than offering just one-size-fits-all services. Certain oils with specific healing properties can be blended to enhance massages, baths, scrubs, and wraps. Various massage techniques can be used to address specific goals and health concerns, from detoxification to herbal poultices and reflexology.
Aviara Spa at the Park Hyatt in Carlsbad specializes in bespoke treatments for their clients, as every therapy is completely customized to the individual’s unique needs and desires. The spa uses the excellent Eminence product line and customizes their facials based on a client’s skin and wishes, with supplementary options like hydrating peels, lightening and brightening services for sun damage, or paraffin wax treatments to soften the hands. Massages are also tailored to the individual, with add-ons like back scrubs, deep tissue pressure, or paraffin foot treatments.
At Spa L’Auberge in Del Mar, their signature Ocean Indulgence wellness treatment is the most popular choice for both men and women. Being a coastal property, the ocean-inspired treatment honors the healing properties of sea salt and sea algae to exfoliate and purify the body. The sea salt scrub smoothes the skin, using nourishing ocean minerals, while a marine-based body wrap draws out impurities and toxins. A hydrating massage is the perfect finish for sun-kissed or dry skin.
In today’s spas, your personal wish is their command.

You’ll encounter more of Spa L’Auberge’s commitment to personalized luxury when you enter the spa. “Our front desk, massage therapists, and aestheticians genuinely care about your needs, and adjust them each and every time you come in,” says spa director Leah Strohecker. “They go above and beyond for each individual.” Each spa visitor can look forward to natural treatments that boost health, protecting the environment, and of course feel fantastic.
Spa L’Auberge is just a short walk from the Del Mar beach, and many of its products are derived from the sea. The spa’s trademark Southern California beach house theme features open spaces with natural light, vivid blues, and whites. The luxurious outdoor relaxation area is a special treat, especially at night when the fire pit provides warmth and spectacle. “It’s so restful and comfortable,” Strohecker says. “You’ll feel like you’re relaxing right next to the water, but you won’t need to worry about sand in your suit when you get home!”
No wonder Spa L’Auberge has been named one of Condé Nast Traveler’s “Top 25 Spas in the U.S.” and receives top-notch reviews on websites like Yelp and TripAdvisor.
“Our unique seaside location and extraordinary commitment to service set us apart,” Strohecker says. “We’re delighted to help you experience all of the healing properties that the ocean has to offer with a personal touch you can count on. Join us in wellness!”
