A luxe spa day is the ultimate self-care splurge—and LA has plenty of five-star options for an indulgent treat. From serene retreats nestled in Bel Air to innovative wellness sanctuaries in Beverly Hills, these sought-after spas offer relaxation and rejuvenation from head to toe.

Burke Williams luxury day spas in Los Angeles combine beauty and mindfulness with one-of-a-kind experience packages like the Champagne & Shimmer Body Treatment, which includes a dusting of 24-karat shimmer powder for glowing skin. Here are some of the best spas in Los Angeles to make your lifestyle better.

1. Hotel Bel-Air

In a city of freeways and parking lots, the Hotel Bel-Air is one of the few green oasis. This classic Hollywood hideaway is a 12-acre paradise of sophisticated enchantment that has been welcoming guests since 1946. The property, which is part of the Dorchester Collection, feels like a private estate, with rose-colored mission-style bungalows nestled amongst ficus, Nepalese azalea, and bougainvillea trees and scented by trumpet vine and camellia bushes. Walkways mapped with terracotta are framed by lush vegetation and lead to fountains, poolside cabanas, and the spa.

This is a destination that caters to the ultimate luxury, and it’s easy to see why Taylor Swift, Beyonce, and Adele choose this exclusive resort as their retreat. Rooms and suites are designed with estate living in mind and open directly to gardens instead of hallways, while interiors combine Hollywood glamour with contemporary California influences. Bathrooms are positively opulent, featuring heated limestone floors and deep soaking tubs with built-in televisions.

The recently completed renovation of this historic hotel added 12 villas and a 12,000-square-foot spa to the property. The 103 sophisticated rooms and suites feature Spanish Colonial and French Deco touches; many have patios, and some are equipped with fireplaces. The Restaurant, helmed by Chef Joe Garcia (previously of Manzke), serves gourmet California cuisine, blending local ingredients with Mediterranean flavors. There’s also a tranquil spa with seven treatment rooms and a gorgeous outdoor oval pool, which Marilyn Monroe once used for a photoshoot.

2. IntoMeSea

SANTA MONICA

While most spas focus on physical pampering, IntoMeSea takes it to the next level with wellness treatments that go beyond the skin deep. The slick, neon-blue space on Lincoln Boulevard is home to floatation chambers (formerly known as sensory deprivation tanks) and crystal soaking tubs for intention setting and healing. There's also a salt room and an energy and light therapy suite.

The largest location out of Burke Williams' statewide chain, the Santa Monica spa is a high-end retreat that exudes old world European elegance with beamed ceilings and elegant rugs. The extensive treatment menu features a mix of traditional and more innovative services like a Knesko Skin GEMCLINICAL facial that re-balances chakra energies (including 'connection' and 'protection') with gemstones and Reiki energy for holistic healing.

Located on Abbot Kinney Boulevard within walking distance of shops, restaurants and the beach this boutique skincare sanctuary carries the OSEA line of organic products. The back garden area offers an outdoor coconut milk foot soak and a cold plunge, and the spa has both men's and women's steam and sauna rooms.

Infrared recovery cabins and a Quantum Harmonic 'energy and light' therapy room round out the amenities, while a reiki practitioner is available for energetic healing sessions. The spa's sustainable design was designed by eco-architect David Hertz and includes 25 solar panels, 10 thermal panels and a SkySource skywater machine that creates 300 gallons of water per day.

3. Den Mother

A den mother is an adult leader of a boy scout troop. However, the term is now used to describe any female or male figure who serves as adviser and protector for a group of people. The den mother of a jazz musician, for example, may field questions about an artist’s latest album while also encouraging her fellow musicians to get involved with the community. In other words, a den mother is a trusted mentor who cares deeply about the wellbeing of her community.

Den Mother manifests as a large, imposing bear in the River of Dreams and is often seen accompanied by her beloved cubs. She represents the two-way bonds of kinship that tie a clan, tribe or nation together and can be called upon to help heal relationships and to protect those close to her. She is a caring spirit that goes out of her way to shield those with whom she communes and can be an exceptional endurance warrior. However, she is known to curse those who misuse their ties with others for personal gain.

At Den Mother, a healing house devoted to a wiser form of wellness, the spa brings together healing techniques from ancient cultures — Ayurvedic bodywork, Japanese acupuncture, Chinese reflexology and Nordic bathing — into serene social spaces that restore balance. Guests can indulge in their don’t-miss hot-cold circuit that takes them from the sauna to the cold plunge of 185 degrees Fahrenheit, and they can even book private events or take part in local programming.

4. The Spa at Conrad Los Angeles

A new addition to DTLA’s luxury hotel scene, the Conrad Los Angeles offers guests an elegant oasis of innovative architecture and upscale decor with a unique focus on purpose-driven initiatives. The property employs a portion of its staff through local non-profit organizations that work with formerly incarcerated individuals and women experiencing homelessness, and the spa has all the hallmarks of an authentic wellness experience with world-renowned hyper-personalized treatments, a recovery cabin, infrared sauna, quantum harmonic therapy, and more.

Located on Grand Avenue directly across from the Walt Disney Concert Hall and the future home of the Broad Museum, this sleek modern hotel’s architectural vision is both sophisticated and edgy, creating a dramatic, yet still inviting space that feels at once opulent and relaxed. The 305 rooms and suites are spacious, with oak fixtures, bespoke furnishings, and walk-in closets. The rooms with a view offer breathtaking vistas of the cityscape from private balconies.

For culture vultures, the hotel’s location is unmatched. Enjoy a performance at the kitty-corner Walt Disney Concert Hall or take in a new exhibition at the upcoming Broad Museum, both designed by famed architect Frank Gehry.
