Went to Ojai Valley Inn to meet up with some friends and someone recommended checking out their spa, wow, such a little slice of sanctuary. We came on a Saturday early afternoon and started at one of their restaurants. The food was amazing, but service was definitely on the slower side. After that, we headed over to the spa and spent the rest of the day relaxing by the pool. The vibe was so calm, mostly women just chatting, unwinding, and enjoying each other in this peaceful little paradise. We ordered smoothies poolside and omg...so fresh and refreshing. Service at the spa pool was great, everyone seemed to be working together seamlessly and checking in often without being overbearing. Definitely one of those spots I'd come back to anytime I need a reset from LA. read more

There is a reason the Spa at Ojai Valley Inn is ranked one of the best in the country. And they certainly charge like it! At least, as long as you have the time, you can certainly get your money's worth. The gym and most guided classes are included in your treatment fee, as well as access to the rest of the spa amenities (saunas, pools, etc). We arrived an hour and a half before our treatment because we saw that there was a Yoga Sculpt class scheduled for the morning. It was a beautiful outdoor environment under a small pavilion near one of the pools. It was very thoughtfully set up with all of the necessary equipment for each guest (yoga mat, weights, blanket, and a water). The instructor was very friendly, and it felt like the perfect warm up for our massages! From there, we checked in and were given local kombucha as a welcome on the way to our lockers. Most of the amenities are in the gendered areas including locker rooms with showers, a relaxation fireplace room with tea, indoor sauna, steam room, hot tub, and outdoor infrared sauna. I heard the men's side has a cold plunge, but I did not see one on the women's side. Upstairs is the shared waiting room for men and women. We were told to head up there prior to our massages, where we could have a snack and enjoy cucumber water and lavender lemonade. My massage was wonderful and relaxing. I think each treatment room has a fireplace so it was very cozy. Afterwards, I was given dandelion tea and a gluten free lemon cookie in the waiting room. We then checked out the Spa Cafe, and took a nap by the pool. They have sunscreen for you to use out there too. I really loved my visit to Spa Ojai. It's definitely a place to go for a special occasion, but worth a visit every now and then with some girlfriends! read more

My husband and I had the opportunity to do a couples massage here. We got a deep tissue massage. The overall service was pleasant and professional. When you get your locker you have a robe and slippers waiting for you. Massage was excellent. Both masseuses were calming and professional. I enjoyed the lounge where you can have refreshments and relax both before and after the massage. The men's locker room has a cold plunge which I did not see at the women's. I wish they did have one which is beneficial for massages. If you book here just know you have all day to use their facilities. Pool, sauna, steam room etc and they also have a cafe there. Overall good experience and definitely feel like royalty. read more

We had a great experience at the Ojai Valley Inn Spa. I got a Healing CBD 75min oil massage & my husband got a 60min facilitated stretch therapy. We both enjoyed our sessions. They had lockers to store our things & provided bathrobes & slippers. In the waiting room where we wait for our therapist, they had tea, cucumber water, lemonade & snacks. After our service they gave us hot tea & cookies. They also had a steam room, sauna, private pool, jacuzzi, a quiet room & showers. You can easily spend half a day here. read more

My girls and I visited the Ojai Valley Spa Mother's Day 2025! The resort is beautiful, as are the grounds, and the spa itself. We checked in and were given a tour of the facilities complete with steam, dry and infrared saunas, a whirlpool, a full swimming pool and gym with all the latest equipment. The spa gives you some fun items. My favorite is a menthol jar to breathe in periodically. We changed into robes and were provided lockers with locks for our personal items. We hit the whirlpool and sauna first. Gathered at the pool for lunch. The menu is organic, vegetarian and delicious. We rested on earthly plush loungers and sipped healthy tea as we waited for our chosen treatments. They offer the usual spa treatments with some special ones learned from local indigenous people. We had an amazing day and all left feeling relaxed and restored....Ready to take on our busy lives! read more

GETTING HERE: Just a quick note - if you're coming to the Ojai Valley Inn and want to use the backroad (the 150), don't. You cannot access Ojai that way at the present time (4/2024) due to the mudslide on the outskirts of Santa Paula. You can only access the Ojai Valley Inn via the 101 freeway. Also, if it's your first time to the resort I would recommend clarifying where the Spa is actually located on the property. The sign was *beyond tiny and I missed it the first time and was almost late for my service. REVIEW: I booked the Honey blossom oil wrap service and I do not have any words to accurately describe how amazing this entire experience was! Why have I also been sleeping on the Ojai Valley Inn and Spa?! No more, I say! Be sure to clarify what's included in the resort fee if you're there on the weekend. I didn't quite get it, and my service was early in the day and I was too exhausted for all the other amenities. I would recommend making your service appointment as late in the day as possible so you can take advantage of the pool, the sauna, the quiet room, etc. etc. I even heard they have Pilates but I also slept on that, too. :( The wrap was incredible! The practitioner went through the steps with me, and not to give any spoilers, it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life (pro tip for that service: you do take a quick shower during that service in between the oil and the final steps of the service. Oh yes. The Ojai Valley Inn and Spa is a thing. You can count on it and I can count it in my calendar, next! read more

My husband surprised me with a spa day for my birthday and the entire experience was amazing!! I woke up that morning with some major pain in the left side of my back and was a little nervous about a massage. Isabel the masseuse was fantastic! She worked out all the kinks in my back with her Magic hands and my pain was gone! Ojai spa is Pampering at its finest from the service at the pool, with delicious cold pressed juices and fresh salads, red light therapy sauna, steam room and spa! 100% recommended for a day of self-care! read more

I had the opportunity to visit Ojai earlier this week and wanted to treat myself to a much needed massage and spa day. I came across Spa Ojai and when I saw they were recognized by Travel + Leisure Magazine as a Top 10 Hotel Spa in the United States and Best Spa for Value as well as Conde Nast Traveler Magazine for being a Top 25 North American Resort Spa, I knew this was the spot to try for. I arrived around 9:45am on a Sunday for a 1pm 60-minute deep tissue massage. I was pretty stressed out when I arrived and I will say the overall Ojai Valley Inn property was stunning but it was a doozy actually getting into the Spa Village between parking, etc. Once inside the spa, I checked in and was taken into the spa to then be asked to sign an electronic waiver - I'm not sure why that wasn't sent ahead of time or presented at check in. The indoor spa amenities were pretty nice - I really enjoyed reading and relaxing near the fireplace in the quiet room. I did not go in the hot tub but it looked nice enough. I went outside to one of the pools to order some food through the Spa Cafe and was a bit underwhelmed. But, luckily for me, my actual massage service really made up for nearly everything!!! I believe my massage therapist was named Blue and she was absolutely incredible. I was on a cloud for 60-minutes straight, even with the great pressure - I was so utterly relaxed throughout and especially when the massage concluded. Absolutely 5+ stars for my massage, thank you Blue!!! I also really enjoyed the relaxing tea and lavender shortbread cookies I was presented with after the service. Since I wasn't staying at the Ojai Valley Inn, I was charged a $50 premium access fee - which I knew about going into the booking - but was disappointed because I was hoping for more access to tea; I hated asking the room attendant downstairs to get me tea (of which she spilled on me so that was painful in more ways than one...!) Anyway, given the accolades this place has received, I did have higher expectations but overall it was a pretty good experience thanks to my masseuse, Blue! read more

Whenever we stay at the Ojai Valley Inn, we always book a day at the spa. The staff is amazing and attentive and the massages and treatments have you feeling like a million bucks when you are done. Such a relaxing environment and you can use the gym, the saunas and the pool (if it's not raining). Very much worth spending the day and pampering yourself. read more

Spa Ojai was SO lovely! We went here for a girls' day. We loved lounging by the pool and the poolside service for lunch. Kuyam was so relaxing, and with just the purchase of it we could enjoy all the other amenities the spa has to offer! We also enjoyed the steam room and saunas. The locker room was very well taken care of. We got ready at the end of the day in the locker room and then headed to the restaurant on site.The staff was all friendly. My friends and I all agreed we will return here again! read more

I had a CBD scrub in June with Emily, and I definitely would not recommend this spa because I left with a serious neck injury. After Emily scrubbed my skin raw with CBD and salt she gave me what started out as a wonderful relaxing massage until the very end. Emily pressed her weight into her elbow and scraped it down the right side of my neck pushing hard enough to displace a cervical disc in my neck and cause nerve damage to the right side of my head. I can't tell you why Emily did this to me, It's not a massage move I've ever had...and before we got started I told her to please be aware of the titanium discs in my neck from a surgery in 2019. The hotel refuses to acknowledge my injury and Emily is still working in the spa. Perhaps she was not up front about what she did to me, or the hotel spa allows this type of aggressive, dangerous and unprofessional behavior in their spa. Either way please be aware of my story, which is absolutely true and make your own decision. read more

What a beautiful spa. I got a spa pedicure. I literally fell asleep. The whole experience was amazing. The facility is very clean and the whole staff is wonderful. The quiet room was probably my favorite place. I can't wait to go back! read more

Just had my second visit to the spa. I had a late massage scheduled so I arrived early to take advantage of the amenities and serenity before my appt. My favorite amenity is the Quiet Room although, the constant disruption of the door opening for every tour and loud dump of cucumber water and ice is nerve wracking. But still I find myself in there alot. I had a turkey wrap in the cafe and it was delicious. My CBD massage with Debra was AMAZING! She was the sweetest lady. I loved the lavender lemonade and gf cookies in the waiting area upstairs. Overall another great experience. It's expensive but worth it! read more

Fabulous family over 18 years old, a place to recover and relax great massage therapists

Stayed at the resort last weekend for our anniversary. Everything about this spa is 5 star including the price tag lol. I got a 60 minute deep tissue massage with Debra (hope your son's wedding was amazing) and she was so good. Really got in there and I felt less guilty for spending so much on the massage. At the end I was greeted with a lovely detox tea, trail mix and lavender short bread cookies. So a nice touch. Everything here is so nicely curated and just relaxing. There are 2 pools that you have access to if you're a guest and not getting a service. The amenities inside are standard. Small steam room, sauna, infrared sauna outside and quiet area with small hot tub. In the common area there is a self serve trail mix, banana chips, lavender lemonade (so good), bottled water and spa water. I did love the chills lavender towels for after the sauna. Overall, definitely worth the splurge. They also gave me a cute postcard that they mailed off for me. My kids loved getting it this week. read more

Amazing spa, from the staff to the amenities to the facilities, attention to detail at every turn, everyone very welcoming and helpful.

Just got the CBD massage from Elsa and it was beyond beyond AMAZING!!!! Truly beyond!!! I had the worst headache all day today and she made it disappear. I also have horrible TMJ and she is the only massage therapist that has actually been able to help me. I love her! Thank you Elsa!!! read more

Great spa! Spent the day here with girlfriends for a fun weekend. Yoga in the morning then swam laps in their lap pool. Enjoyed the spa amenities then got THE BEST MASSAGE I've ever had! No exaggeration, Terrence was awesome. Not sure what made it better than others but I'm very picky about massages and am usually left feeling just meh about the experience. This was the exception...I'm going back soon and booking with him for sure. read more

I've been to this spa once every month since I've discovered it-- and I don't even live anywhere near Ojai! I just love getting my facial from Lisa-- she is the best esthetician I've ever had. I've been struggling to get rid of sunspots on my face for years. Lisa's holistic and natural/ organic approach to skin care really resonated with me. She did this organic pumpkin peel on me, and I saw diminished dark spots on my face. And every time since, I see immediate results every time. What she uses is salon strength formula, but she recommends for me what products I can use to continue to improve on my skin. I really can't recommend Lisa enough to everyone!! And I highly recommend taking advantage of the whole spa facility, including their free classes throughout the day. It's such a nice get away, even if you only have a day. **My prayers go out to everyone in Ojai! Evacuation orders have been lifted as of yesterday. I hear Ojai Valley Inn will undergo intensive cleaning after the Thomas fire, but thankfully the property was not effected! The hotel is scheduled to reopen on Jan 11, 2018. My thoughts are with all the workers on the property & their families. I hope they can sustain during the hiatus and return to work in Jan! Because i love the people there !! Xoxo read more

Spa Ojai - Day Spas Near Me - Ojai, California

To start off, the pros: amenities and the space are amazing. Spa is big, spacious, has two private pools, a steam room, dry sauna, and a jacuzzi. The robes are also super plush and luxe. My friend and I had lunch by the pool, and the servers were a little hard to flag down, but service was overall not bad for a spa pool. Moving on to the cons: With all of that being said, for the price, the services should have been a lot better. I got the ayurvedic healing treatment for $340, my friend got the prenatal package for $390 and my other friend got a hot stone massage for $195. My friend with the hot stone massage said her massage was amazing, but my other friend and I both had lackluster experiences. My "ayurvedic healing treatment" was ultimately just a scrub with a very light foot and scalp massage added in. I still don't understand what the "mini facial" was; I think he just cleansed my face? At the end of the treatment, I had herbs left on my face and it was basically a glorified body scrub. Still, I fared better than my friend because at least there was music in my room. My friend with the prenatal package said there was no music during her massage or mani, which makes things very awkward when you're in a small room with one other person. Also, when we booked the treatments, my pregnant friend asked in advance to swap out a pedi for a mani and they assured her she'd get charged the package price. Notwithstanding, she was charged separately for each treatment and overcharged $45. They didn't catch this and we had to call for a refund, which required being on hold for quite a while. To add insult to injury, for having spent over $400, she's also now super broken out, just four days after the treatment. Overall, the space is very relaxing and they offer teas and snacks in the co-ed waiting area, but the treatments themselves are not worth the money. read more

Love this resort and spa! Awesome customer service, attn to detail, and great amenities! Am getting a deep tissue massage and body scrub. The massage had all the luxuries - cushiony face pillow, heated pad, heated neck and eye mask, and heated robe once treatment was done. I loved the body scrub! The scrub was warm with big grains with some oil so it wasn't dry, which I liked. The body lotion was also warm. A great experience! Tea, apples, raisins, nuts, spa water, and little rooms, couches, magazines, cafe, and the usual sauna, lap pool, pool, etc are here! Would def come again! read more

This review is primarily for the gym/fitness center. For a resort gym, it gets the job done. There's enough cardio machines to get your sweat on and every one has it's own TV. I went twice in the early AM and every machine had a bottle of water and workout towel waiting for you. This was a nice gesture...and a subtle reminder to wipe up your nasty sweat after use! The weight machines were decent. There isn't every piece of equipment of full-size gym, but enough to work the major muscle groups and get a pump. There are no barbells or weighted plates, and free-weights stop at 50 lbs. The serious weightlifter might feel slightly stifled, but like I said for a resort gym this is pretty good. I didn't take any classes so no comment there. But they had lots to offer and all are included in your resort fee for overnight guests. They also have moonlight Yoga when its a full moon. (Side note - my coworker did get a Warm Himalayan Salt Stone Massage in the spa and said it was fabulous! Oh, and they accept Spafinder gift certificates.) read more

When I imagined the relaxation that takes place at Spa Ojai, I thought it would be behind closed doors during a treatment. I didn't know that it happened the moment you walk up to the front desk. A couple weeks ago, I walked into the spa, a ball of nerves and anger. When I came to Ojai Valley Inn, I struggled to get my handicap mom to the spa, and walked in wearing that frustration all over my face and body. Crystal handled our situation with grace, class and true professionalism. She calmed me down and didn't once express any agitation towards my behavior. I wasn't the most pleasant to deal with, but she met my anger with pure sincerity and kindness, and it turned my mood around. After getting our comped meals from the cafe and our treatments, Crystal personally drove us back to the parking lot so we wouldn't have to struggle. She is a gem and the personification of "customer service" and the spa is so lucky to have her. read more

Treatments were GREAT (I had massage and gentleman's facial). However, rest of the experience was far from relaxing: - about a half dozen teenage boys in the locker room rambunctiously awaiting their mud treatment - locker assignment foul-ups (I had three assigned to me by the time an unused one was found) - a line of 4 guys waiting outside the mens' showers - no available seats in the room in which you await your treatment - three loud women in that waiting room disruptive and seemingly drunk (they were there when I arrived and an hour later between my treatments) I'm disappointed because I thought Spa Ojai would be the ultimate experience. read more

This is the most amazing spa I have ever been to! The spa area is vast. The different nooks for relaxing are just perfection. With 2 spa services you get free use of the pool & facilities. My husband often travels to Oxnard for work, when I tag along, I always spend a full day at Spa Ojai. I typically book a massage followed by a facial, then I spend the rest of the day enjoying the facilities. The pool is very relaxing and offers pool side good/drink service. I always look forward to my spa day when in the area. I'll be back in July! read more

We loved the spa here, saltwater pool, sauna, steam room and massages, what's not to love. The gardens are beautiful, such a peaceful place to relax and enjoy. The spa cafe is not organic food which is why I gave this place only 4 stars, I think they could do better as far as food to eat. read more

This place lives up to its rating in every way. Attention to detail was what stuck out the most. Pleasant & accommodating staff. Robe, locker and flip flops provided. There is a eucalyptus steam room, sauna, Jacuzzi, indoor fire places in almost every room. Cucumber water, cranberry/nut snacks and assortment of tea around every corner. The property is just absolutely gorgeous. Went with a group of 3 girls, we all chose the 50 minute massage and I would say it was the best massage I have ever had. Whatever the oil is that they use there, I want it! They even warm your robe so at the end of your massage its nice and toasty. Seriously felt like royalty, if just for a day :) I will be back each and every time I'm in the area. read more

My fiancé took to this spa for my birthday earlier this year prior to my doctoral proposal defense to relax. The overall experience was wonderful including exceptional service, delightful amenities, and a fantastic massage that I only wish I would have booked for a longer treatment. Overall I would greatly recommend this spa for all the reasons I described. read more

First of all, the surroundings are no doubt beautiful. On a lush golf course, there are many white Spanish-style buildings with great landscaping. The Spa itself is a complex composed of many different rooms, courtyards, and pools. I came here for a special Couples treatment, which included a private hot tile room where meditation music and instructions were played over the speakers while you rub clay over yourself (don't even ask what I'm talking about). It was cool though, followed afterwards by a shower and hanging out on a private outdoor patio area. All very tranquil. Service is quite good, and for $20, you can use all the facilities on the site, including a gym, a lounging pool, swimming pool, and various jacuzzis, both indoor and outdoor. Everyone walks around in robes, which makes you feel Greek. There is also a cafe that serves food and drinks poolside, Cafe Verde (see my review on this place). I've been to better resorts and spas for sure overseas, but since this place is pretty close to where I live comparatively, I'll take it! read more

Came here for girls weekend and OH MY GOOD...I had one of the best days of my life!!! Everything was just perfect. The grounds, the people, the services...ugh...I could live here forever. Got the foot paraffin wax and sea mineral body wrap. The body wrap was superb! I wish I had it longer than 50 mins. She even added a little bit of massage on my neck, shoulders and head. My other friend had the relaxation massage and she said it was great! I love the fact they have (almost) everything you need, like razors, hair brush, dryer, lotion, etc. My girlfriends joked about having my wedding here...I am actually considering it! Such an amazing place. read more

I took my sister who was visiting from the east coast to the spa for a day of relaxation and pampering. It was amazing. The grounds are a visual treat. The employees are beyond nice. Judi at the spa front desk is THE BEST. She has been at Spa Ojai for many years, but her attitude is so friendly and outgoing, its obvious she loves her job. We did the Kuyam treatment and our therapist Randi was wonderful. She took care of our needs efficiently, but quietly without ever disturbing our meditation.After our Kuyam we were escorted to a private deck where we lounged for an hour. Reading magazines, napping, and sunbathing. We enjoyed the cucumber water while using the steam and sauna. So refreshing! We made a memory that will last a lifetime! My husband and I are planning a spa day in Oct for our anniversary. read more

One of the best spas that I've been to. First of all, Ojai is a beautiful town and this resort's grounds are gorgeous as well. The spa is designed beautifully and although crowded at times, you didn't feel it like at some other spas. I was always able to use the other amenities such as the steamroom/sauna without any problem and find a nice spot to relax or doze off. Their teas they offer are also delicious. Will definitely miss since I don't live in LA area anymore and won't be able to just drive up when some R&R is needed. Only complaint I have is the parking area is hidden close by the spa at back of the resort so you have to drive through the resort to get there. My first time there, I parked in the front of the resort and it was explained to me that spa was all the way in the back of resort and a bit of a walk from the front but was offered a ride via a golf cart from the staff which was nice of them. read more

This spa is the best of the best! Absolutely AMAZING!!! It is not only gorgeous and the epitome of relaxation, but I also received the best facial I have ever had at this spa! It is a full day spa so they have a pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, and relaxation room. When I visited, I believe they used Arcona products and I have since started using them at home - really really wonderful products! This place is a haven, definitely a treat! read more

Enjoyed an oxygen hydrating facial for the first time. It was very relaxing and enjoyable. Facilities are not bad. They had areas to relax in, private showers, steam room, spa, etc. Only non enjoyable moments were flight of stairs to climb up and down from treatment area to check in. Other than that, everything else was wonderful. read more

My appointment was at 9am. I arrived a little early and checked in at the desk. After waiting and waiting in the lobby, my phone rang. It was the lady at the front desk asking if I'd be honoring my appointment. Obviously, her failure to check me in was an innocent mistake. What followed was not only disappointing but incredibly odd for such an upscale spa. Once I put on a robe and got to the esthetician, she was very sour over my being late. I explained that I had arrived early and been forgotten about in the lobby. She explained that this would shorten my service time. She was not friendly. So, I went to the desk, expecting to be re booked for another time and given at least a smile if not an apology. No. The manager came out and said they would pull the surveillance tape to see if I was, indeed, early for my appointment. He was quite smirky. The lady at the front desk was fully aware of what happened. She stood there with a frozen smile as this was going on. Perhaps she didn't want to get into trouble for her error? It was quite interesting being called a liar and treated in such a rude fashion. At least they did not charge me with their 6 hour cancellation policy. On my way out I spoke with another guest who was staying on the grounds. She said she was disappointed that the vibe was so pretentious and had not expected it. Based on some of the other reviews here, it is entirely possible that I caught them at a bad time. Hopefully, the staff is not always this rude. Mistakes happen. It is understandable that someone failed to check me in or notice me waiting in the lobby for so long. It is not acceptable to lose my service time and be treated so rudely over it. There are a handful of spas in downtown Ojai. Today I will be checking one of them out. read more
