Set amidst the Santa Rosa mountains, in a spectacular desert surrounding, the Spa at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort screams elegance from its lovely location to its luxurious guestrooms. Its awesome amenities include granite and marble enclosed bathtubs, oversized towels, entertainment centers, and mini-bars, not to mention the treatments offered, which range from classic to exotic in style.

The signature treatment experience here is Desert Journey, which begins with a creamy emulsion of orange, tangerine, and mandarin-scented body butter, combined with a brown sugar scrub and Swedish, and including gentle rocking techniques used to calm and relax you. Hot basalt stones are placed over the Chakras to restore balance, and all the while you'll enjoy a red rock paraffin foot treatment and Reflexology. If you prefer something a bit simpler, you can go for the Desert Hot Stone on its own, and enjoy the local cactus oil massage. For tired skin, the European Body Scrub utilizes thermal waters and botanicals to stimulate circulation and revitalize, or go for the California Sun-kissed Wrap, which brings the radiance to your skin through exfoliation and wrap. Faces in need of pampering will smile brightly after a Desert Stone Facial and, best of all, there are always new treatment additions. One new addition scheduled to be added shortly is the Moor Mud Ritual. It is based on the centuries-old European tradition of using medicinal mud, healing waters, and light massage therapy. The Spa also offers Ayurvedic Treatments like Shirodhara and Bindi for those who prefer a touch of the East. Whether or not you're a fitness buff, there are great classes and exercise experiences to enjoy here like Sunrise Walks, Yoga, and Body Sculpting. Finally, be sure to dine at one of the 4 restaurants onsite, from the Restaurant Picasso to the American dishes at the Timber Hearth Grille.
