Willow Spa Santa Monica

There are many spas in and around Los Angeles. 

Willow Spa in Santa Monica is my personal favorite.

I love everything about Willow - from the amazingly talented people who work here to the nourishing and effective products they use to the sheer tranquility of the space.

 

 

Hidden behind the unassuming entrance is a tropical oasis.

 

 

The "waiting room" at Willow is soothing and relaxing. Every time I enter I feel as if I am thousands of miles away from L A - not steps from Santa Monica Boulevard.

Each treatment begins with a luxurious foot soak and scrub and soothing ginger tea.

There are spas and then there is Willow Spa.
To my knowledge, no spa in L A provides a similar experience.
It may sound like a cliché but when you walk into Willow you are transported. Before I even begin my treatment I begin to relax.
I have not been to Thailand but this is how I imagine it feels.
From the soothing colors of the décor to the plump cushions and drapey fabrics overhead, Willow feels as if it was plucked straight from the tropics.
All of their services are of the highest quality.
I am partial to their Eminence line of skin care - perhaps because my grandmother was from Hungary which is where the line is made. The facials at Willow are not only relaxing and soothing but really make a difference. There are many to choose from and their facialists are expert at recommending ad-ons that work for your particular skin type. If you decide to indulge in a massage you will not be disappointed.
Willow employs some of  the very best masseuses. They really listen and tailor each massage to your preference and needs.
I do not have the time to indulge often but when I want a true treat Willow is where I head.

Pryor Events are big fans of Willow Spa.
