Where to go for tailored treatments and Blue Zone bites
Words by KELLY ATTERTON
Northern California’s spa scene is much more than mud masks and massages, blending laid-back luxury with cutting-edge wellness. In Sonoma, FARMHOUSE INN (farmhouseinn.com) offers a pastoral oasis. Spa director Wendy Wright leads a holistic approach to healing, including what she describes as “wandering through the vineyards to reset.” Not far away, MACARTHUR PLACE (macarthurplace.com) has redefined its spa as a sensory escape. The sprawling property encourages guests to unwind in its newly revamped Relaxation Garden, perfect for sipping post-treatment wine. In Palo Alto, the NOBU HOTEL (paloalto.nobuhotels.com) leans into wellness with precision. The sleek, tech-infused Longevity Package offers guests a restorative soak in a private onsen before indulging in an Okinawa-inspired bento that embodies Blue Zone principles. MONTAGE HEALDSBURG (montage.com) has teamed up with Fatma Shaheen and Skin Design London to debut a pair of exclusive facials at its 11,500-square-foot spa, tucked away in a sanctuary above the vines. STANLY RANCH (aubergeresorts.com/stanlyranch) in Napa Valley takes wellness to the next level with its trio of specialized centers that focus on sleep, hydration, and overall well-being; biohacking techniques like cryotherapy; and fitness tailored to your performance goals.
