Beauty and wellness California

Mud baths have been a tradition in Calistoga for about 100 years. At Golden Haven, you can experience it in a private treatment room. The mud is a mixture of clay, peat and warm mineral water, three ingredients known for their traditional health benefits. The treatment, which lasts one hour, is sovereign against stress, even more so if you add a 45-minute or even 75-minute massage session... And the program can be done as a couple!

This hotel was one of the first establishments in the region to offer thermal treatments. We love its retro style and the kindness of the staff. The mud bath is a must and the massages are simply heavenly. Huge swimming pool, half-covered, so you can choose between sun and shade. Moreover, the restaurant is at the height. We recommend the green and red chili burritos, the honey roasted squash and the grilled fish tacos.

This massage and reflexology salon is truly incredible, run by a friendly couple in the heart of Chinatown. An experienced man massages you using traditional Chinese medicine methods that relax deep muscles: foot reflexology, and/or back and shoulder massages (we recommend both). Comfortable massage chairs await the lucky patients who try out this complete and affordable massage. Chairs for express back and shoulder massages await those in a hurry.

One of San Diego's main attractions is its beaches, each of which is ideal for different activities. Looking for relaxation? We recommend Coronado Beach, a beautiful stretch of fine white sand. Fancy a stroll? Head for Mission Beach - just south of Pacific Beach - which stretches for just over 3 km. And if you want to watch sea lions as the sun sets, head for La Jolla. Note that most of the city's beaches are equipped with beach volleyball nets and fire pits - the popular bonfires.
