To ensure you get your preferred services and times, we recommend booking at least two weeks in advance for weekdays, and two to four weeks in advance for weekends or holidays, especially during the summer season. Same-day or next-day appointments may occasionally be available. Please call or stop by to see how we can best accommodate you. Prices, services, and hours are subject to change without notice.

Guests who are 12 or older may enjoy nail services, and those who are 14 or older may enjoy facial services. Guests 16 years or older may enjoy any spa service. All guests under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and may not access spa facilities. A parent or guardian must sign a 'Release of Liability' form for any guest under 18.
Please arrive 30 minutes before your first scheduled treatment. This allows time to check in, change into your robe and slippers, shower, and begin relaxing. You’re welcome to enjoy the lounge, steam room, sauna, and outdoor co-ed whirlpool before or after your treatment. Guests may also access the fitness center and resort pool area.
We understand delays happen. However, arriving late may shorten your treatment time to ensure the next guest isn’t delayed, and the full treatment price will still be charged. If it’s your first visit, please allow extra time to find us. We are located near the outdoor seating area of Oceana Coastal Kitchen restaurant, with the spa entrance facing Mission Bay.
We provide a locker, cozy robe, and sandals for your comfort. Our relaxation lounge offers complimentary infused water, hot teas, and fruit to help you stay refreshed before and after treatments.
