If you're ready to abandon your office cubicle and work the kinks out of your neck, take a gander at Beautiful Spas and Hot Springs of California. This guide offers information on 20 spas and hot springs for those wanting to get in shape, escape on a romantic retreat, explore the great outdoors, or just be pampered in luxury. Reading more like Sunset magazine than a traditional guidebook, this beautifully photographed resource helps readers find the massage, body wrap, hot tub, aromatherapy, or mud bath they need to recharge their batteries. Outdoor enthusiasts will salivate at the Esalen Institute overlooking the Pacific Ocean while fast trackers will revel in the comforts of the Givenchy Hotel and Spa. Geared toward the California resident, the book includes information on history, amenities, setting, commute, cost, and contact information for each destination. Whether it's a rustic hot springs hotel, a Zen mountain retreat, or a fully-regimented fitness resort, this book will direct would-be rejuvenators to the perfect relaxation escape or honeymoon spot. --Karen Karleski

This review is from: Beautiful Spas & Hot Springs (Paperback)

I purchased this book several years ago and used it to slowly visit each of the interesting and unique spas described in it. The pictures alone are worth buying it for. Great way to plan a trip or just dream about having one.
