Nestled in the Carmel Valley, and known for its ample vineyards, the Spa at Bernardus Lodge is an oasis of rejuvenation and relaxation that offers guests an intoxicating wine country experience, with treatments infused with local grapes, scents of lavender, rosemary, lemongrass, and warm California breezes. In addition to its decadent treatments, the Spa will soothe you with steam and sauna rooms, a private outdoor tub, 7 treatment rooms, an exercise room, an open-air 'warming pool,' and a meditation garden. There are numerous recreational opportunities as well, from tennis and swimming to croquet, hiking, and golf. The healing combination of all these will leave you walking on air by the time your stay is done.

In addition to its terra cotta walls and rustic charm, the Spa will make you feel right at home in any of its 57 Lodge rooms. All of these boast feather beds, Italian linens, oversize tubs, fresh flowers, stone fireplaces, and French doors which open onto balconies with mountain or garden views - and that's still just the beginning! Guests can choose from locally inspired services like vinotherapy, to marine-inspired treatments. You'll delight in a Chardonnay Pedicure, complete with a soak, scrub, and Chardonnay moisturizer, while munching on wine and cheese.

If you're here with your partner, opt for the vineyard romance treatment, where you'll be welcomed with a vintage wine and cheese, and pampered with a harvest crush body exfoliation, lavender grape seed bath, massage, and grape seed herbal tea. No matter what you choose, your visit to the Spa at Bernardus Lodge would not be complete without a dinner at Marinus, or casual bistro fare at Wickets, so be sure to reserve a table, and arrive hungry.
