12 Destination Spas to Visit in the US to Recharge and Relax

Though it's the only Relais & Chateaux property in Southern California, Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa has managed to remain a hidden gem, keeping it quiet and ideal for those looking for a luxury experience without pretense. Guests visiting this resort are treated to oversize casita accommodations, farm-to-table cuisine at the property's two restaurants, and activities in the onsite fitness and Pilates studios and yoga pavilion. But no trip to Rancho Valencia would be complete without a visit to the spa, which focuses its treatments toward incorporating organic, local ingredients into treatments like the Citrus Appeal facial, Coconut Cucumber Soother body mask, and elemental wellness Vitality Ritual.
