The sound of gentle music greets clients as they enter Oceano Coastal Spa, and head to the relaxation lounge to slip into a downy robe. There they may find themselves reclining atop one of the alcove's pillow-lined benches as they start to forget about their everyday stresses. And that's before treatments even begin. That welcoming experience reflects the spa's philosophy that therapeutic bodywork and skincare sessions are more than simple indulgences: they also promote wellbeing and provide a healthy escape from a world filled with constantly buzzing alarm clocks.

At the heart of any visit here is the therapists' work. Personalized facials can address a wide range of concerns by treating blemishes, the signs of aging, and sun damage with organically blended products. Massage appointments may include Swedish strokes, deep-tissue pressure, or reiki techniques, each aiming to treat withheld tension. Treatments can be further enhanced with a luxuriant tub soak that can include sea salt, tropical flower petals, and lavender essential oils.
