Downtown La Jolla day spa offers holistic body treatments with extras like a spa rituals and a boutique.

Editorial Review for GAIA Day Spa — by Mary Morley

In Short
Located in an upscale shopping area on swanky Prospect Street, this day spa conjures deep serenity almost immediately upon entrance. The beige-toned, minimalist decor is complemented by fresh-cut flowers and what seems like dozens of fountains placed throughout the spa according to Feng Shui principles. Holistic treatments focus on the skin and body; there are no hair or nail services. Services include eucalyptus- and lavender-infused Vichy showers, body wraps, massages, aromatherapy and sound healing treatments.
