    Don't judge... I haven't had a full body massage since spring/summer of 2022! I am definitely long overdue. I can't believe I forgot this local gem to Santa Ana / Orange. It is right next to The Bowers Museum and super close to my neck of the woods in Orange. It is the most charming spa retreat. It was a home that was remodeled into a spa. The last time I had services here was when it was called Nina Monte Spa. I still remember them! It was thanks to my mom who bought be a gift certificate for them that I discovered them. And my mom knew about them because her antique business used to be right across the street from The Bowers. It truly is a charming setting. When you walk in through the side gate, you get welcomed with natural and zen by their garden and tranquil fountain. They have porch type seating if you wish to stay and zen-out! Inside is of course natural tones and with a Japanese influence. I love their locker room. It is intimate, but still has its charm. The meditation room is very warm, muted in darkness, and an East Asian influence in design. It's definitely relaxing. I personally like to unplug and do not take my cell phone in there. My treatment today was booked very last minute. My body just yearned and ached for a full body massage! I was so thankful they had an opening in the morning. My massage therapist today was Jennifer. She was wonderful! She asked what I wanted to focus on, which was my upper back, shoulder, and neck region. O... M... G... she was aaaaaamazing! There were times where I had sounds of true bliss and relaxation. And I felt so rejuvenated afterwards when I retreated into the meditation room with some tea and a scrumptious biscuit. Taking a moment post-massage to unwind and unplug was remarkable. Closing eyes and breathing in and out... it was zen! I definitely recommend Montanya Spa! The next time I come back here will be soon! I plan to bring people I love next time. They do offer couples massage! And this is a sweet day getaway for girl besties! Seriously... can't wait for more experiences. And parking is easy if there is street parking available. Other wise, there is paid parking at The Bowers. Maybe after the spa, you can swing by the museum and walk their garden. Sounds like total perfection to me!

    Hello Fellow Yelpers I have mixed feelings about my experience here. I am an avid spa goer, so my expectations may be higher than others. First, you need to park in the paid lot next door and it is $6.00 flat fee. I guess if you can find a spot on the street, then you can park there. I was greeted by a nice young lady, and since it was my first time here, she had me fill out some standard form. So it appears that they only have one locker/ dressing room for all to use. You need to lock the door when changing. The shower and dry sauna are also in this area. I had a wonderful order women give me a body scrub and then my facial. She was nice, polite, and very professional. I then sat in the quiet room and waited for me to be called for my massage. I had a young woman, and I do not recall her name, escort me upstairs to a very small back room. Here is what I didn't care for. The table was small and did not feel very stable. I told her to please not touch the bottom of my feet, which she kept doing. She put cold lotion on her hands and then just put it right on me. In my opinion, she should have rubbed the lotion in her hands a bit to warm it up. She also used her elbow and knuckles a lot. I told her I hurt, and she just kept doing it. When it was done, I went downstairs, changed, and went to the reception desk to pay. Just to let everyone know, this was a $330 half day spa package . I voiced my concerns and feedback to the receptionist, and all she said was sorry about your experience. Now, I'm the customer service profession, and my first priority is to make it right. I would have done something other than not charging me the required 20% gratuity and letting me tip each person accordingly. Once again, this is my own opinion as I treat myself to a spa treatments frequently. They will not be getting a repeat customer from me. Take this review as you may. Remember to do random acts of kindness as it will make everyone feel wonderful. Happy Yelping, and please follow me for more awesome reviews.

    Meditation room- complimentary tea and snack

    Recently visit this spa thanks to my sister in law that provided it as gift. I've been twice once for a prenatal massage and a 30 minute massage (for mommy time). The spa is small and cute but not as relaxing as I'd like, the front desk has been a little loud each time I've gone. And my recent confirmation call was less than professional. The massages themselves were good, I personally prefer warmed oil which wasn't provided. Street parking was limited the 2 times I went there's a parking lot that you can pay to use. Something I wasn't fond of is there's no waiting area to wait to use the locker room. The locker area is shared which doesn't really invite you to use the shower or sauna. But I did appreciate the meditation room after.

    I had a facial and body scrub, the facial was relaxing and my skin felt very light and cleansed afterward. The body scrub was soothing, though I didn't expect to get my hair wet. My aesthetician was patient and took her time ensuring her work was done with care. The spa was clean, well kept, there was a locker room and meditation room that you can use prior to an after your services. There is also an upstairs and downstairs both with different treatment rooms. Check in was pleasant and all of the staff were extremely attentive and kind. I would recommend Montanya Spa to those looking for a relaxing spa experience.

    My friend and I did a spa day. She did a full package spa day, and I just wanted to do a facial. She booked with Montanya Spa fairly easy and made sure we would finish our treatments at the same time. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the receptionist. He was very friendly and aware of appointments- names, I was truly impressed. It shows they take care of their clients. I have had facials but not like this one. Tonya did my facial. She was so kind and helpful. She asked questions about my skin care routine to get to know me better. When she preformed a certain treatment, she explained to me what it was for. She also gave me advice and information on how to keep my skin clean, now with masks mandated. A very relaxing, and peaceful environment for a spa treatment.

    Beautiful place with an amazing staff. Drive from the LA area to try it out and II would definitely be visiting soon!

    Relaxing oasis of a spa
    Laura M.

    I had a wonderful, zen experience at Montanya Spa last Friday. What differentiates this spa from other spas is that it is a more intimate, head-to-toe experience. My fiancé purchased the Half Day Sanctuary package for me to enjoy, which included the Montanya signature facial, hand and food paraffin treatment, sanctuary body treatment with rain forest rinse, stress releasing massage, and foot reflexology. The urban oasis spa is nestled between the Bower Museum and a residential neighborhood. Street parking wasn't too hard to find, and there is a museum parking lot that can be utilized for spa goers as well. After being checked in, I promptly changed into the robe and slippers provided and put my belongings in the locker provided. The changing room also includes a shower and sauna for guests to enjoy. The drawers by the sinks had a plethora of personal amenity items for the guests to enjoy. I was then guided into the meditation room, which had ambient amber lighting and a relaxed atmosphere. I appreciated the japanese influence on decor strewn around the spa, made the spa a very special oasis. I was given tea and a biscotti, which I consumed with zest, knowing the relaxation that will ensue next. My esthetician Larissa called my name and we went upstairs for the first thing on the agenda, which was my signature facial. I enjoyed the warm facial bed, and was pleased that my treatment started with the hand paraffin treatment. I enjoyed how the beginning of the facial consisted of cleaning and facial massages in the dark, while the latter part had the lights turned on for extractions and such, but I had an eye cover which made it relaxing. I loved every part of the facial, especially the eye cream and lip mask at the end. Once the facial was finished, I was led to my body treatment downstairs. The body treatment was in a large shower room with a massage bed in the middle that was covered in latex material and towels. I was scrubbed from neck to foot with a lavender sea salt scrub that felt absolutely phenomenal. Larissa was very professional and did section by section, utilizing the towels to uncover what part of the body was to be scrubbed. The scrub was followed by a scalp massage with a warm orange juice and honey concoction made in house. She then shampooed and conditioned my hair with a peppermint infused conditioning treatment. Once that was finished, she covered my body with a latex cover while she put on the rainforest shower (four huge rainfall showers on the ceiling with amazing shower pressure) since the water is cold when turned on. She took the cover off and exited the room, and I spent a glorious 5-6 mins rinsing myself off. I just laid on the massage bed and let the warm water rinse off the scrub. Once that shower was over, I was prompted to the meditation room, where I was given more tea and biscotti (yum!). My masseuse Alex called my name and we went upstairs to the massage room. The massage was super relaxing and I was able to have a nice chat with Alex while in a relaxed state of mind. I had a few knots in my back and Alex was able to gently alleviate any back pains I felt. He finished off the massage with a foot paraffin treatment and foot reflexology massage. Then I was led back to the meditation room, where I was given tea, biscotti and a raspberry jam cookie. I relaxed a bit more before changing into my clothes and checking out at the front desk. They have a nice variety of spa products you can purchase at the front as well and I purchased an Elta MD sunscreen. Next time, I will check out their skincare products since my face was glowing after their products were used on my face during the facial. Montanya Spa is truly a hidden gem of a spa and I am excited to come back for more alone spa time, as well as bring my friends for a friend spa session.
