If you're looking for an exotic spa experience with a taste of the East and a playground of activity, then Bacara Resort and Spa is for you. With a large section of the treatment menu devoted to Ayurvedic treatments, Thai massage, Reiki, and reflexology, guests to Bacara will find it easy to reunite their bodies, minds and spirits. Accompanied by soothing décor, top-notch facilities, and activities like strolling on miles of golden beach, kayaking, snorkeling, surfing, sailing and whale-watching, you can't help but feel rejuvenated. Bacara's diverse food options which utilize local and regional ingredients, such as citrus and avocado, also add to the unique flavor of the resort and its mission of revitalization and health.
Pamper your skin with a Fresh Herbal Brown Sugar Body Polish or try the ancient practice of Shirodhara which places a comforting, warm stream of oil onto the forehead and hair, and is followed by a gentle scalp massage and a warm foot wrap. The Environmental Defense Facial gives skin a seasonal boost with powerful enzymes to help protect the skin from premature aging, and the Beta Carotene Exfoliating Mask with black cherry and vitamin C neutralizes harmful free radicals. If you're looking to get in shape while you're relaxing at the Bacara Resort, try the Weirs hike, best for beginners, which starts at the Ranch and weaves through avocado and lemon groves. Take a break to relax in the Ranch's lovely gardens, ideal for meditation or a nice picnic. And don't forget Bacara's fitness center which offers personal trainers and fitness instructors, as well as classes in yoga, Pilates, group meditation and Tai Chi. Don't let your busy life get you down—take a break from it all as you relax and reboot at the Bacara Resort and Spa.
