While staying in a nearby hotel in Healdsburg over the holidays, my husband and I enjoyed a half day spent at the Montage which included a 60 min couples massage. The spa is just off to the side of the hotel as you pull up from the beautiful road along their vineyard. Valet was helpful, waiting with umbrellas as it was pouring rain. The spa itself is somewhat small, but filled with all you need for a very high quality spa experience. The lighting is dim, the decor is natural wood and clean, yet welcoming. The products and amenities were all top notch. I enjoyed my plush robe and comfortable slippers, had a wonderful hot shower and steam, and sipped some cuc water while lounging in the waiting area. My masseuse came right on time and took me to a cozy room where my husband and I pretty much melted away for the next hour. Our therapists were both excellent, and very present the entire time. He had the hot stone add on, and I had deep tissue work. After our massage, our therapists brought us each a delicious green juice shooter. We were very impressed with this entire experience and as spa and massage regulars, I have to say this one ranks quite high on the list! We will definitely be coming here again in the near future. read more

What an incredible massage at Spa Montage Healdsburg! Went in recently for a Sonoma Blend Massage - they told me that this is the most customizable option. My body was tired and achey, and this was just what I needed. You valet park in the hotel's front circle - it's free valet but bring cash to tip! The spa is just off of the front drive/circle. Check in in the pretty spa reception area where they sell clothing, accessories, skincare, and more. And then you're escorted to the changing/waiting area. The entire spa is neutral / earth tones...a beautiful and peaceful aesthetic. I was assigned a locker with a plush robe and slippers. Then had the opportunity to shower or use the steam room, or just relax on the beautiful lounge chairs in the zen-like waiting room. My massage started with a choice of aromatherapy body oil (mine included cinnamon and rosemary and something else), and then a singing bowl/chime. Imagine a warm bed, warm blanket, elevated head and lower legs/feet. Cozy relaxation! It ended with chimes and a shooter of house-made, nourishing green juice! Complimentary with spa treatments is use of the facilities: again shower and steam room, two outdoor pools and pool lounge area (and in the summer the pool area has a restaurant/bar). What an absolute treat! Hope to do it again soon! read more

Average of 4 stars.... 200 stars for masseuse Alicia, who gave me the best massage of my life. 10 stars for the valet who worked with me when I forgot my Tesla key! Everyone at the valet was incredibly warm, nice and helpful! 5 stars for the facilities. Very elegant, soothing; not the most luxurious spa I've ever been to, but very nice. 3 stars for spa personnel, who miscommunicated timing and then didn't accommodate what they had said. Lacking the courtesy one should expect at a 5 star resort. 4 stars for the pool area. Beautiful views, nice pool, nice hot tub. Some natural stone would warm it up but all in all nice. I highly recommend you get a massage from Alicia immediately! This is a lovely destination! read more

Beautiful and clean spa with a luxurious feel. However, the massage itself didn't quite meet expectations, especially considering the high price point. Overall, a nice setting, but not the best value. read more

Montage is a phenomenal place. Drinks by Scott at the bar were Orgasmic, yes I am talking about the turmeric drink...sensational. Bravo Scott!!! Food was amazing. Last but not least the spa. It's like finding zen, harmony and joy in a sanctuary circle of little pleasures. Massage, facial and downtime create such a great energy that leave you smiling at life. All managed and taken well care of by their wonderful hostess/manager Dina. She creates Fluidity and love in this peaceful sanctuary. NAMASTE P.S. WE'll BE BACk! read more

Great experience at the Montage Spa for a special anniversary occasion. We booked the couples massage for 60 mins and came in early to use the facilities for the day and we are glad we came early. The weather was perfect and the pool was awesome. There is many cabanas that line the pool area with dining tables and couches you can use. The pool is perfectly heated on a nice spring day. The wait staff is very attentive and friendly. On the massage side of things, getting ready to for the massage the lockers rooms are immaculate and extremely clean and well maintained. They have all the amenities you could ask for. Steam room and showers are also perfectly clean. The massage experience was very nice. There was pluses and minus to each masseuse's technique but overall it was a nice experience and we would highly recommend the spa montage and would definitely visit again. The rest of the resort is great to experience as well as since we live close we look forward to coming again soon for drinks and dinner. read more

This is my second glowing review of Gari Cuevas, whom is now the lead hair stylist at the new, stunning Montage Healdsburg resort. My first review was for Gari at Archer Salon in SF, which he still owns and still sees clients bi-weekly. In addition to his salon in SF, he continues to do private celebrity styling, and is often now booked for full wedding parties held at the Montage resort. Not only does Gari make you feel special, but having your hair done at the Spa Montage Healdsburg is a luxurious and enchanting experience. Gari's salon area, which is detached from the main hotel and very private, is situated in a large glass studio that looks out to vineyards and oak tree groves. It includes a private garden seating area, lavish indoor spa showers and dressing rooms, and an indoor lounge room -- complete with snacks and spa water. Of course, he has wine too! As a guest of Gari's, you're allowed to use their facilities for the day, which is a real treat. The staff is plentiful, professional, and kind, and available to help you in every way -- from providing you with a private locker, spa shoes, and a warm fluffy spa robe, to bringing you a hot cup of tea. It's not hard to feel like royalty when you're there, or at the very least, like you've taken a glamorous vacation for the day. Gari is good-hearted, considerate, and has an easy-going personality. He is distinguished and fashionable, but never pretentious. He provides excellent suggestions as to how he thinks you can look your best, and/or will take your current style and make it truly fabulous and radiant. I discovered Gari years ago, after a horrible stylist ruined my color, creating white streaks, and burning most of it. I was devastated and made appts with all of the top stylists in SF, in hopes that someone had the confidence and skill to fix it. They all said that my hair was beyond repair -- everyone that is, but Gari. We only had a 15-minute consult booked, but he took pity on me, and 6+ hours later, he had magically transformed and repaired my locks. His approach to hair color is an art, and a true talent. I feel lucky to have found someone of his caliber in the area -- the likes of which I've only encountered in Bev Hills, NYC, or Dubai. In my last review, I called him my "Hair God," and I absolutely still feel that way! I moved from SF to Sonoma and have happily followed Gari to the Montage Healdsburg. My mom, who had been seeing the same colorist for decades, was so impressed by my hair, that she too now goes to Gari. She was ready for a change from her lifelong color and style, and he highlighted it in the most elegant way. It is chic and not at all 'old lady-like.' She walks out of the Montage looking lovely, like a glammed-up Jane Fonda. He can do any age and any hair texture; he has a deep understanding of hair color and style. Everyone I have recommended to Gari becomes a loyal client. I never have to worry when my hair is in his hands. Gari is so talented and a delight to be around; I promise you'll be thrilled with his work and completely refreshed from a day at the Montage. He, and the Spa Montage Healdsburg, will bring you joy and relaxation, and keep you looking your most fabulous. We all need a little glam and pampering these days... read more
