Things to Know
- The best way to lock in an appointment at The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Laguna Niguel is to directly call the Spa Specialists, who will guide you through the extensive treatment menu.
- We recommend calling at least one week in advance to secure your preferred date and time.
- The luxury spa encourages you to arrive 30 minutes before your treatment so you can unplug and unwind in the ultra-serene surroundings.
The Treatments
- The Laguna Wellness Experience is the spa's ultimate indulgence — a firming, detoxifying ritual that draws on the power of the sea. A seaweed body wrap and collagen facial mask work in tandem with bespoke massage techniques to flood skin with antioxidants, replenish moisture and deliver visibly polished, silky skin.
- No two Coastal Illuminating Facials are alike — each is shaped around what the guest's skin needs most. Marine collagen and mineral-rich ingredients do the heavy lifting, working together to soften, illuminate and bring a genuine radiance to the complexion.
- The spa's rotating seasonal pedicure is a perennial guest favorite. The springtime iteration takes inspiration from the rose bud, moving through an aromatic foot soak, a sugar whip scrub and a relaxing massage of the feet and lower legs — an experience that evokes the feeling of wandering through California's famed Super Bloom.
