Fodor's Expert Review One&Only Palmilla Spa
Therapists lead you through a locked gate into peaceful palm-filled gardens with a bubbling hot tub and a daybed covered with plump pillows. There are 13 private treatment villas for up to two people; seven are equipped with an outdoor shower, bathtub, and thatched-roof daybed for relaxing in between or after treatments. Each treatment begins with a Floral Footbath, including the signature Secret Garden Remedy, using oil infused with herbs grown on-site. Achy athletes can opt for the surfers or golfers massage. The spa also boasts a yoga pavilion, juice bar, Amanda George hair salon, and a 1920s-style barber shop for men. For the ultimate in relaxation, try the Baja Deep Tissue Pindas Ritual—two hours that combine a scalp massage, hot stones, and deep pressure.
