Serene Seaside Spa

L’Auberge Del Mar has unveiled its new 5,000-square-foot freestanding Spa L’Auberge, set in a quaint, beach cottage ambiance. The spa pampers all the senses, offering indoor and outdoor relaxation areas, aromatic steam rooms, soothing yet uplifting décor, and ten treatment rooms where a diverse selection of therapies are given including their new signature Seaside Sojourns. Try the Moroccan Adventure, a purifying escape in which the entire body is covered with spices and clays, cocooned, and then massaged with warm jasmine oil. Complimentary hotel valet parking is available to guests visiting the spa, as is pool and Jacuzzi access. (858/793-6493, www.spalauberge.com)    MIA STEFANKO
