Vista Blue Spa
Monterey’s ocean-inspired wellness retreat
VERIFIED LUXURY
We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience goes beyond how your surroundings look — how your visit makes you feel is what you will remember most.
We started in 1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.
Five-Star
These are outstanding, often iconic properties with virtually flawless service and amazing facilities.
Four-Star

When you need a break from the bustling attractions of downtown Monterey, Vista Blue Spa offers an inviting destination for coastal Californian relaxation. Perched atop the Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa, the refuge provides just that: unbeatable views of vibrant Monterey Bay. A 2019 renovation brings the ocean indoors with a soothing color palette, an overhaul of the treatment menu and a glowing salt chamber, resulting in even more luxurious ways to unwind.
With the waves outside as a permanent soundtrack, the bayside spa is a tranquil haven where nine sumptuous treatment rooms set the scene for ocean-inspired services designed to lull you into a well-deserved state of Zen. And with attentive service to match, Vista Blue Spa ticks all the right boxes for an escape to coastal serenity.
