Bacara
Even for the most avid pampering aficionado we bet that the 42,000 square foot Spa at Bacara has an innovative treatment that will knock your spa slippers off. Sigh-worthy pampering notables at this Santa Barbara enclave include the Citrus Avocado Body Polish, the Syncrossage (a 4-handed Swedish treat), and the no-fuss Sonya Dakar skin-fitness facials. The Skin Correcting Facial paired with a daily Sonya D. regimen has left our skin utterly superior and has made us lifelong Sonya fans. And going to the Spa at Bacara does not end at pampering and superior skin care; try taking a steam, completing a mini-hike and kayak excursion, lazing about in a robe fireside, or simply spa-lunching on roasted seabass and peashoots. If you're lucky enough to score it, we recommend hitting the private sunbathing deck that comes complete with breathtaking ocean views and a private waitstaff (margaritas anyone?). The Spa at Bacara's multitude of offerings makes their tagline of "every conceivable treatment to leave you smoothed, polished, tightened, toned, relaxed and renewed" ring totally true.
