Spa Salons near Carmel Valley

“I had my first facial with Michelle in 37 years of life and it was perfect. I have very sensitive and dry skin, prone to redness and easily irritated so I worried about facials. She was very thorough and explained what she was doing and got the skin care products right! She even left me with lots of samples to try! Highly recommend! Thanks Michelle!Service: Facial massage“

“I got a facial from Lynsie a few months ago and it was divine! The process was so relaxing and my skin looked beautiful afterwards. She’s very professional and the space is very clean. Her prices are very reasonable and the products she used worked great on my sensitive skin. I’ll be coming back soon for sure.“

“Nell is the best! I’ve been going to her since 2001 for massage, stretches and craniosacral therapy.“

“Came to Carmel for my anniversary with my boyfriend and we were so excited to go to Refuge. We both got a day pass. I believe we were some of the first people there a bit after 9 am. It started off great! For a while we got a few pools to ourselves all in the warm setting. We got into the steam room and I loved the eucalyptus one!! For my partner it was a bit too strong, so I suggest for people with sensitive smells to just try the other room. We then wanted to sit around the fire place, but there were seats taken with towels or only one chair available between people and my partner and I wanted to sit next to each other. We ended up going to a fireplace in a corner where a couple started reserving the seats since the morning. They also got there kind of early after us and we noticed when they put their towels down on the chairs. My boyfriend asked if they could move their towels so we could sit down. At first the woman had said yes but her partner said they were going to sit down after a few minutes. Mind you this is now around 11 am and I had seen them in the sauna rooms and walking around (it was a Monday so it wasn't that busy.) So then my boyfriend said I'm sorry but you aren't able to reserve seats and the girl seemed shocked and said but everyone else is doing it. Her partner ended up moving a chair towards the fire pit and we sat down. It was an uncomfortable situation for us and them. I wish there could've been a worker walking around making sure people weren't reserving seats, so my partner and I could've avoided this awkward tension with others. After that we went to the relaxation room. My partner and I thought to ourselves at first who would enter this room when there's other things to enjoy, but oh boy were we wrong. My boyfriend took a nap and I closed my eyes for a while and just enjoyed the silence bliss. My boyfriend ended up snoring and I had to wake him up. He was a bit embarrassed, but he really ended up enjoying that room. We ended up going to a pool with another couple and a single person. Another couple ended up coming into the pool and were talking out loud. I was bothered and so was the girl in the other couple. She ended up whispering in her partner's ear and they got out immediately. I went into the hammock next to the pool as I no longer wanted to be next to couple either, but my boyfriend stayed inside. He was also bothered but not enough to get out. The shower had a lot of space inside. I wish there was a place to get ready I had brought my make up to do, but I ended up not doing it since I didn't want to be in the way of other people blow drying their hair it was the only spot with lighting and a mirror. It is a bit of tight space. My only regret was not bringing a book. So many women were reading near the fire place and it seemed such a relaxing thing to do. The weather was gloomy and I loved it that way. It did start sprinkling while we were there which was no problem. The ambience was great. Hopefully there can be more surveillance on the rules about the talking and reserving chairs, but other than that it was a great. I would definitely recommend this place.“
