Had a lovely experience and excellent massage. It's very clean, the shower/shampoo/soap smelled yummy! Old world good care!

I went to the Spa at Torrey Pines for my birthday today and Eun, Joanna, and Jeannie (along with the staff at the pool bar) went above and beyond to make my birthday special. I would highly recommend this spa. read more

This was one of the best massages I've had in a long time. Jeff was wonderful! I'd go back in a heartbeat. Great steam and sauna too.

The spa was upscale and relaxing. Nice products and courteous staff. I don't like how 20% gratuity is automatically added. I guess it prevents their therapists from getting stiffed but it seems like a demotivating policy. My massage was good but not great. I would have left 15%. I will try Estancia next time. I love the Lodge however. It's great to have lunch and drinks by the pool. Gorgeous views! read more

Very nice spa with friendly professional staff. Very short wait times. Massage was very nice and relaxing.

Front desk staff were friendly and helpful; they explained what amenities I have access to as well as gave me a tour of the whole spa. The locker room is nice and clean, and the lockers had more than ample space for my tote bag and running sneakers I brought to use at the gym before my treatments. The changing rooms, bathrooms, and showers are all very clean as well. All products available to use were of higher quality which I found impressive. There are even hair tools you can use if you need to brush your hair or touch up your curls, etc. The relaxation lounge was nice and calming; perfect lighting to keep you relaxed as well as a fireplace to sit near while you sip fruit infused water or some herbal tea. The chairs in that area were also very comfortable and easy to relax in. My 80min full body massage was great! I had no problem letting my masseuse know when to adjust pressure and she would respond accordingly. My 50min facial was also amazing! It was my first time ever receiving a facial and I enjoyed the whole experience, leaving me feeling extremely pampered. I utilized the dry sauna room after my treatments and it was perfect, I almost fell asleep it was so cozy in there. It was easy to adjust the temperature of the room to my liking and the music was very calming and zen. Overall, I would definitely return! I have no idea why others have rated this establishment so low, but for me I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here and would encourage others to give it a chance. read more

Incredible experience at the Spa this past week - the staff went above and beyond to make the day relaxing and luxurious!

Went Torrey Pines Soa and had a great time. I received theBalneo Therapy was a great way to relax before my Vichy Shower body scrub. Both treatments extremely relaxing. My skin was so soft after my treatments. My boyfriend received the Sea Weed Leaf Body Wrap and he enjoyed it as well. Unfortunately when we went the pool seemed to be under construction so we spent most of the time in the separate men's and women's locker rooms. In the women's there was a dry sauna and eucalyptus steam room and in the men's i was told there was a tv with seating. Will definitely be back to try more services! read more

Amazing facility, staff, and service. Also loved being able to use the pool and spa area. I would come back again!

Took my friend to the spa at the lodge for her birthday. Overall it was a good day. We rented a pool cabana which was great and the food/drinks at the pool bar were wonderful. Jenny the bartender was awesome. The pool could have been cleaner, there was some debris and dirt. The spa was a little disappointing. The amenities were limited and the steam room was out of service when we were there. Massages were great but all 3 of ours were not a full 50 minutes. They picked us up a little after the 30 and ended right before the 20 so time actually on the table getting massaged was probably 45 or less since we spent time discussing the massage before hand with our technicians. The spa manager (or at least I think she was) was not very friendly but the staff attending to the spa area were great. The valet guys were super friendly. I don't know that we would return to the spa but would definitely stay at the resort to enjoy the lovely atmosphere, beautiful architecture, and gorgeous grounds. read more

The Spa at Torrey Pines - Day Spas Near Me - La Jolla, California

The spa itself was nice and the people welcoming however the pool which is supposed to be part of the amenities has a beautiful view but the service and food were not up to par. On top of that or food sat there on the tray for 2 hours as staff walked by and didn't bother to remove. No one came to ask if we wanted anything either. Doubt we will be back for those prices. I expect way more. Disappointed to say the least with the lodge itself. Spa service was nice though. read more

Today I had a wonderful experience at this spa, celebrating my Grandma-in-law's 90th birthday. The staff was extremely professional and accommodating, especially with my Grandma's special needs. My massage therapist, Jackie, was amazing! She went above and beyond to work through my trouble spots and was extremely welcoming. Next time I come to La Jolla I know where to spa ‍ thank you for the wonderful day & memory! read more

Such a wonderful experience every single visit. I leave feeling refreshed and pampered and as though I've had a full luxury experience from the moment I enter to the moment I begrudgingly leave. Staff if friendly, well trained, knowledgeable and very talented. This is also one of the best gifts I've ever received so if you are looking for a gift for someone LOOK NO FURTHER! read more

I've had very good experiences with massages and manicures in the past (thus four stars for overall experience). But my last experience there was disappointing. The massage therapist named Mila said and did some things that made me uncomfortable (insensitive both in the way she massaged and interacted with me). I will make sure to avoid her in the future. read more

3-4 star facilities with a 5 star massage. We got a couples massage during our stay here and like the rest of the resort, overall it was very solid but just a bit dated. The relaxation area was well appointed with trail mixes, teas and fruit and I like how it was co-ed so we could wait for our treatment together. The massage was also great, used up the whole time and was done in a nicely appointed couples room on heated beds. They also finish off the massage with a chocolate which is also a nice touch! I agree with the other reviews though, at this price point (more than $500 after gratuity with an 80 mins couple massage) you do expect a place with an indoor jacuzzi and nicer robes and facilities. Ah well! Overall it was a solid experience and I wouldn't hesitate to return. read more

I'm really unsure as to why this place only has 3.5 stars. I feel as though it's the vibe of the entire hotel. Old school, feels like your in Northern California in the woods, dark interior, dim lights. It's the vibe of the place it doesn't mean it's horrible. This review is only for the spa and the pool area. The spa is not the easier to find, but once directed there you enter through the doors, to a gift shop and front desk. The smell of essential oils explodes in your face. It's a calm and great environment. The front desk employees were friendly, and welcoming. The spa provides you with spa sandals, and a designated robe that is waiting your in assigned locker. Two separate locker rooms for the men and the women. The men's side is large, with lockers, a full bathroom with amenities. Deodorant, face wash, mouth wash, shampoo, body wash, conditioner, blow dryer, and extra towels. The locker is clean and everything is in its place. There are three different rooms you can enjoy in the locker room: a steam room, a sauna, and an inhalation room ( just a room with essential oils). There is also a designated men's waiting room with a tv, and two chairs. There is two coed waiting rooms as well. Fresh ice cold water, water with cucumber, a variety of tea, and snacks. One of the rooms has a fireplace as well. My wife and I did a couples message 50 minutes and it was great! The two therapists were amazing. Danielle was great! Pressure was on point! My wife is 36 weeks pregnant and had a great massage by a gentlemen named Will. She said he was great and actually gave her a massage, unlike some places she has been to while pregnant. The massage beds were warm, and comfortable. The only compliant is that the floor was tile and you could hear the therapists waking around. At the end of the treatment you received a salted covered dark chocolate treat. It was great! We wanted to enjoy the pool afterward shopping that the weather was going to be better but it was cold. The jacuzzi was good, it overlooked the golf course and the beach. The pool was warm, but not to a temperature for swimming which is fine. We didn't order anything from the pool side, it was a small menu and didn't hit our fancy. read more

I'm not sure why this spa only has 3.5 stars, but I can only speak to my experience...which was nothing short of amazing. I spent my birthday there yesterday, and beforehand I did a ton of research on La Jolla spas. What sold me on this one is that in addition to my massage and balneotherapy, I could go on a nature walk and take a yoga class all-inclusive! The nature walk was absolutely splendid, Joe (our tour guide) was one of the highlights of my day. He was so nice and knowledgeable, I learned a ton about the actual Torrey Pine trees along with so many other wildlife species. The yoga class was perfect, it was a nice mix of intense and mellow postures. My aromatherapy massage was heavenly (I actually fell asleep lol). I'd probably skip the balneotherapy next time even though I felt great after. It was like taking a bath in sea salt with jets for 20 minutes, so not the most eventful. I also gazed at the ocean while tanning by the pool. Oh and they have a dry sauna and eucalyptus steam room. I'm a huge fan of the showers too, not only were they clean and fully stocked, but there's a changing area right before you step into the actual shower, which was super convenient for privacy. Long story short, I'd recommend this spa in a heartbeat! It was a truly dream-like day. read more

Danielle is the best! I hadn't been to the spa since Covid and was so grateful that Danielle was still working there. I love getting massages but none compare to the kind of work she does. She is so kind, caring, attentive & a real healer. 100000/10 would recommend her to family and friends. She's just incredible. I like the spa products and the steam room but I will go back just for Danielle, she's the true gem at the spa! read more

I love this spa. Massage was great; the abundance of teas and trail mix types was quite welcome; Moroccan oil products were a nice touch (most spas have hideous hair products that strip all my hair, so I tend to bring mine). The main reason i love this spa, however, is that you can access their pool area: they have a wonderful golf course-View jacuzzi, surrounded by a few trees. I felt like an empress in Ancient Rome! Tip: The Torrey pines lodge room rates are quite high; we stayed at the Hilton next door (really pretty) and accessed the spa with the Hilton discount for 50%. read more

The best hotel, and the best spa! I had one of the best massages I've ever had from Esther at the spa. She totally listened to my problem areas, and I cannot wait to go back and see her soon. Friendly staff and beautiful spa. read more

Warning. This review is not for the prude in anyone. So if you are easily offended by graphic depictions of women naked- seek your information in another place. All right then. For those of you who chose to keep reading- let's get one thing straight. I am a spa aficionado. I do spas all over the world and the signature treatment in a spa tells me everything I ever need to know. Case in point- the Spa at Torrey Pines Lodge. Built about 6 years ago- this mission style influenced spa has a signature treatment that will have the prudes running and the rest of us ohhing and ahhing over the total relaxation that it creates. Called the "Coastal Sage scrub" this is 50 minutes of pure indulgence. You lay naked (your "privates" are covered with a small towel/washcloth?) on a welled table in a tiled room (kind of reminded me of an embalming room without the smell - Ha!) A Vichy shower (5 shower heads that cascade hot water on you through the entire process- makes you feel you are under a waterfall) allows you to totally relax as you are loofahed with warm water and shower gel, exfoliated with a sage scrub and then allowed to lay for awhile under the "fountain shower" before being finished off with a light massage with their lemongrass souffle cream. Now this treatment is not for those who have issues with laying naked while a total stranger scrubs your body. But if you can get over those issues- you find yourself in pure bliss- kind of like when you were a child and mom scrubbed you in the tub. I also suggest getting a 50 minute massage prior to the scrub so that you are totally relaxed. The spa itself in lovely- with most of the amenities that you would look for in a spa of this caliber. Where they missed, in my opinion, is that there is no common "wet area" at this spa. If you want to sit in a whirlpool or swim after your treatments- you have to leave the spa and head over to the main pool area. What's with that? The waiting room is co-ed with comfortable chairs and ottomans circled around a fireplace (the men's side circles around a TV-imagine!) There is fresh fruit, cucumber and lemon water and a variety of herbal teas to enjoy. The technicians are top notch- the products are resort specific and carry the signature scent of sage and lemongrass, and I liked that you could try some new facial products for free. Overall, this is a nice spa experience. But then again . . . .what could ever be wrong with a day at the Spa? read more

I had a citrus manicure and pedicure today at the spa. It was outstanding. The nail technician was very calming, thorough and did an excellent job. I know I can find less expensive nail services but it was worth the cost to have the relaxing experience, not be rushed out of the chair and to not have to file rough edges when I get home. I highly recommend the manicure and pedicure at Torrey Pines. read more

My favorite spa in San Diego! I'm a local so when I was looking for a great spa to treat myself to I called the Lodge and was delightfully surprised to learn what's included! A day pass includes full use of the spa facilities: locker, shower/pool slippers, plush robe, showers, stocked vanities, sauna, relaxation room with fireplace, gym AND the pool! Free self parking or you can treat yourself to valet. My first trip to the spa I simply got the day pass and enjoyed the pool all day long. But on my second trip I indulged in a massage. The relaxation room was cozy - my soft full robe wrapped around me as I lounged by a soft crackling fire, it was like a movie! My masseur was wonderfully professional. She got the pressure just right, worked out all my knots and just let me relax. The SHOWERS have a double curtain which provides a great space to change or leave your robe/clothes, etc when stepping out. It also allows them each to be ADA compliant while allowing for extra space. The VANITY areas each have a; hair dryer, curling iron, brush, pick, comb, q-tips, tissue, deodorant, hair spray, hair gel and other items I can't recall - very impressive. The LOCKER AREA is not completely private, but there are private changing rooms there too. The lockers are large enough to store your gym clothes, pool clothes and a change of clothes. The plush robes and slippers are also a great touch. You can ask for your size slippers too! I've yet to use the sauna or gym area, but I'm sure I'll be back! read more

I wanted to give The Spa at Torrey Pines 5 stars. The facility, the service, the therapist are 5 stars, absolutely. The spa is tucked away on the first floor of the resort. The lounge areas are relaxing with a fireplace, assortment of teas, and cucumber/lemon water. My massage was amazing. I splurged and upgraded to an 80-minute treatment and it was well worth it. So why am I not giving them 5 stars? Because when I went to shower and saw the ingredients in their signature body wash, shampoo, and conditioner, I was extremely disappointed. The ingredient list is exactly what you would find on a .99 bottle of shampoo: sulfates, artificial fragrance, methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone (two preservatives that are known to be harsh on skin) and artificial colors. If this were a budget hotel, I would expect these cheap ingredients, but not at a 5-star resort. When guests go to relax, destress, and detoxify, they end up retoxifying by introducing these ingredients into their skin and system. Also worth mentioning that sulfates are the #1 ingredients in shampoo to avoid if you color your hair as they cause the color to fade faster. I urge the management at the Spa to take another look at your formulations and work with your lab to come up with a more healthy, natural, beneficial signature line incorporating essential oils of lemongrass and sage. You have a beautiful facility; you should have signature products that reflect the natural beauty and healing atmosphere of the spa and resort. read more

Good treatment. Not so much facility or pricing-wise. I had both a massage and a facial . The massage was excellent. The facial was good. I was disappointed with the lack of coordination between them two. This was particularly annoying given that I have booked a package of both services and soso I expected there wouldn't be redundancy (for example, both included had, arm and neck massages). The facility itself could use some updating. It would also be nice if it were over lookinglooking at golf course, ocean, etc., instead of being tucked in a basement with no windows. Finally, while definitely not on the cheap side, when I checked out I was informed there is a mandatory 20% service fee.! This is quite an acceptable. If this is a mandatory fee, it should be included in the price of the package and quoted as such. Not being "hidden". Also, as far as I know the idea of service fees/tipping is that it allows customers to express how satisfied with services they were. Not adding you on the 20% could be interpreted by those who actually provided the devices as dissatisfaction (which isn't the case). In short--not recommending. read more

Stopped by here during one of my work trips and absolutely had a great massage experience with Esther. She is an intuitive massage therapist, and I felt incredible afterwards. Next time I will definitely go for a longer massage! Also I have to give credit to the manager and front desk staff. I left my favorite pair of sunglasses in the women's locker room. When I was already at the airport I realized they were missing and I called them immediately. They were promptly able to locate my glasses and keep them safe. The company mailed them home to me in Dallas at my request. When they arrived, to my pleasant surprise i found the package so neat and secure that I couldn't believe how good of shape my sunnies were still in. I really appreciated it and give props to the thoughtfulness of the staff. Thanks so much! Kind of like what other reviews say, the only reason I took off one star is because I also think the facility could be updated. Shower in the locker room kind of went from hot to cold a few times and although the Vichy shower felt amazing it was a little squeaky at times. Beautiful facility though and great amenities. read more

The Spa at Torrey Pines - Beautiful entrance - Day Spas Near Me - La Jolla, California

I went and got my first massage at the Spa at Torrey Pines today...wow! I was so impressed. The parking is free in the self parking area. When you get in there are kind men waiting at front that will help you find the spa because it's kind of a few hallways away from the entrance. The spa is cute when you walk in with a little gift shop. The gal that helped me up front was very kind. She gave me a tour and showed me my locker which had a kit for the shower, and a bathrobe, and she gave me shoes to wear. While I waited there is a nice room with a fireplace, magazines, cucumber water, and tea. My provider was Amanda. She was so nice and friendly, and made sure I was comfortable throughout. She focused on my needs and it was probably the best massage I have ever had. Afterward I used the shower which was awesome it has 3 different curtains you can close so you have full privacy. Then the stations out by the bathroom have blowdryers, curling irons, clean hair brushes, blow dryers, q-tips, face stuff, etc. I would highly recommend. The prices are higher but it's because of the great service and awesome location! read more

get Mila if you can. got her on short notice and was the best massage I've ever had. and have had massages for years all over

We had a great stay at the lodge. The holiday decor is just beautiful! For breakfast during the weekend, A.R. Valentine is the best, highly recommend! I didnt get to use the spa, but I attended morning yoga class and it was the BEST yoga class I have taken. Marie was our instructor. She was extremely knowledgeable, very clear guidance and I was able to go deeper into the postures then I have ever had before. I will definitely request her next time we come back to San Diego. read more

-Facilities were a little dated for the price and star rating of the hotel -Excellent massage therapist -Nice steam room and sauna but both were small -No whirlpool or multi-head showers read more

I had a divine 80-minute massage with Will. They have gender-specific lounges as well as a co-ed lounge which was nice for couples to wait together. The locker rooms were nicely appointed and the showers and steam room we're very relaxing. My only suggestion is to increase the sauna temperature as it seems entirely way too cool to promote relaxation. read more

So luxurious and tranquil. They are known for their high end customer service and attention to detail and they deserve that reputation. I took my staff here for massages and facials in lieu of a holiday party of food and drinks. It was just what we all needed and oh so wonderful. I won't be waiting until next Christmas to come back that's for sure. read more

I love going to the Spa at Torrey Pines Lodge. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is relaxing and restorative. This last weekend was my second time visiting the spa, I purchased a facial and massage package that included gratuity and really felt like a great value for all the pampering I received. I would highly recommend if you are looking to treat yourself or gift to someone else. read more

The good: Beautiful location, nice selection of products and services, friendly staff. It was easy to make an appointment and they were very accommodating, considering our trip as last minute and we were scheduling multiple services. The "just ok:" The facilities just a bit dated- no whirlpool as was mentioned by another reviewer. The pedicure was WAY OVER PRICED for what was done. It was a lovely pedicure, but for $75 before tip I guess I was just hoping for more than your standard strip mall experience. The woman who did the pedicure was wonderful, just wasn't as luxurious as I'd hoped. However...the facial was AMAZING. I felt totally pampered and beautiful when I left. read more

I visited the spa a month ago, and had the most amazing massage by Stacie. I returned this weekend, and was excited to see that I had been scheduled with her again. She is truly a healer. Her massages are amazing. I splurged for the 80 minute, and I'm glad I did. I've had massages at some of the fanciest hotels in the world, and this was by far the best. If this spa was closer to my house, I'd be broke. read more

For eight years I have been a client at the Torrey Pines Spa and most especially the past three years I have watched the physical appearance and service degenerate to the degree that my family and friends will not be returning to the spa. Complements that were once placed in the lockers are now delegated to nothing. The robes are so old and thin that they are nearly see-through and the shoe thongs provided are in such poor condition that they are torn in many places and difficult keep on your feet. Blow dryers and curling iron's are old and hair damaging inefficient. My last appointment was for two services in one day - one was a massage and the other being a body wrap - the service providers were worse than I had ever experienced and unknown to me when I arrive at the front to settle my charges, I am only then informed that a 20 percent gratuity is now automatically added to each spa fee. read more

Honestly, not impressed! The "Petite Spa Package" is less than petite. I was rushed in and out of 3 services that were performed haphazardly. The products used on my face by the esthetician gave me a chemical reaction. I'm writing this review three days after my facial, and my eyes and checks are still red and puffy with a rash. What irks me most is that I went into detail with the esthetician about my sensitivities to products, and she insisted that she was using only natural, all organic products. The manicure was a total rush job. The technician left hangnails behind. The polish never cured and after I have gone to bed that evening, I awoke to find that my polish had sheet marks all throughout. The Head Over Heels foot massage was good. But for the cost of all services, it should have included neck and shoulders! $235 (the spa tacks on an 18% gratuity) not at all well spent! I feel completely ripped off! I will not return. read more

The staffs were very nice and provided great service. Clean and well maintained but their amenities are too old. Minus one star for that. The robe was very old and thin and the dryer was hard to connect to power(It kept falling off due to its old condition) Other than that the service was very nice! read more
