Treatment room with a view; Outdoor jacuzzi and cold dip
I usually travel far and wide for the best spas around the world. I always make a visit to every destination resort I go to and make a mental list of how each one ranks. The best is the Grand Wailea in Maui! But recently, a spa resort cropped up in my neighborhood, literally 10 minutes from my house! The Terranea Resort and Spa sits on the bluffs of Rancho Palos Verdes and even though I live here, I can tell you, there is nothing exciting in this neck of the woods. Until now!
The spa is an oasis within the gorgeous sprawl of the resort. It has it’s own gym, pool, bar, restaurant and takes up the best real estate on the entire property – right on the edge of the Pacific Ocean. Being that this is the land of eternal sunshine, the jacuzzi and cold dip is outdoors, and are surrounded by cushiony reclined loungers to relax and take in the breathtaking ocean view. There are 25 therapy rooms, one of them (suite #1, you can request this room for any treatment) has double french doors that open to a balcony with a view. This room also has a freestanding copper tub for special soaks and baths. You are able to use the entire facilities for the whole day with any treatment. It is a vacation for half the day and still get home in time for dinner! Well, at least for me. The resort is well priced and is absolutely stunning so if you are in Los Angeles or coming to the area for a visit, I highly recommend you stop in. I might just be at the pool so make sure you come and say “Hi!” =) Go to Terranea Spa’s site for information on booking and treatment menu.

My company just had their National Sales Conference at Terranea. What a place! What a blast! Love that this resort is so close to Los Angeles!
Calgon take me away (to there!)
Really why did the City of Los Angeles have to loan them 8 million to complete this when most people in this economy can’t afford to stay here. We don’t have money for school, fire and police so why in the world are we spending 8 million on a posh resort. It all boils down to common sense why if we don’t have the money for basics are we spending on luxury, us families that are in crisis are having to pull in the reigns why isn’t the city???
