Ojai Valley Inn & Spa: Charming, Historic and Luxurious

Filed under: Spas

The Ojai Valley Inn & Spa is a nominee for a Luxist Awards Readers' Choice Award for Best Extended Stay Spa.

Dating back over 80 years, the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa is located in the charming and historic Spanish-style town of Ojai. It is fourteen miles from the Pacific Ocean, 35 miles south of Santa Barbara and 73 miles northwest of Los Angeles.

The world-renowned Spa Ojai, located on the resort grounds, offers an extensive menu of experiences ranging from traditional massage and skincare treatments to one-of-a-kind and seasonal signature treatments unique to Spa Ojai. Take for example, the "Kuyam", which is the signature mud treatment at Spa Ojai. It is a Chumash word that translates as "a place to rest together," however the Kuyam also takes inspiration from the traditional healing rituals from many cultures. This treatment combines the therapeutic effects of cleansing mud, dry heat, inhalation therapy and guided meditation.

Essence in Balance is one of the newest therapies at Spa Ojai, and is also one of the most personalized and unique treatments available. Guests begin their 3.5 hour session at the Artist's Cottage & Apothecary, where they create a personalized blend of essential oils to address whatever/however they are feeling or are needing at that exact moment in time. The oil is then used for their massage, providing an aroma-therapeutic treatment that culminates into a truly healing
experience.
