Grotto Spa, Carlsbad

At Grotto Spa, visitors experience moments of relaxation in themed massage rooms lit with soothing, dim lights. What's more, they can choose from a wide array of bodywork options, from foot reflexology to Thai massage. For example, the body massage combines hot stone techniques with deep-tissue kneads and acupressure points to reduce stress and relax the mind. Reflexology, on the other hand, focuses on pressing particular points on the body which, according to traditional Chinese medicine, are related to particular organs, and by pressing them, the therapist can promote the improvement of health and wellbeing.
