The Spa at The Alisal provides a tranquil respite where guests are encouraged to kick off their boots and indulge in a variety of wellness services—ranging from massages and facials to expert-led experiences—curated to complement the plentiful activities offered throughout the resort.
“With The Alisal’s expansive offerings of outdoor and athletic activities for guests to enjoy during their stay, I’m excited to introduce treatments that are tailored to those unique muscle groups and aimed at relaxation after physical stress, whether it be a post-horseback riding massage or a relaxation session after a round of tennis,” shares spokesperson from The Alisal. “On the other hand, guests seeking a more luxurious stay at the ranch can select from an array of treatments that are intended for ultimate relaxation, including stress-relieving massages techniques with pressure point stimulation.”
New treatments and programming include:
- Sip & Stretch – Offered on the last Sunday of every month, this experience includes outdoor yoga underneath a giant oak tree, followed by a flight of seasonal, local and organic fresh-pressed juices. Customized for all levels, the session consists of one hour of restorative yoga, aimed at slowing down, finding stillness, and opening up one’s body through passive stretching and gentle poses. ($40/person)
