The Babylonians are said to have made the first New Year’s resolutions about 4,000 years ago. Not on the first of January but in mid-March when they celebrated the spring harvest of barley, a 12-day festival called Akitu. No matter your 2024 resolutions, health is your biggest wealth, and you have an extra chance this leap year to invest in local wellness.
It’s 2024, where self-care isn’t an indulgence anymore. Self-Care is a daily habit.
Especially with the holidays over, you might be thinking about travel. Have you thought of planning a staycation at one of our many Carlsbad Beach Resorts? This is your sign to book time to disconnect, reboot and reset miles away mentally, but conveniently close to home.
Did you know Carlsbad hotels offer specials catered to Carlsbad and San Diego locals? The Omni La Costa Resort & Spa offers discount spa treatments on weekdays, a great time to take advantage as a local.
At the Westin Carlsbad, book the “Locals Escape Massage” at the Ocean Pearl Spa.
Enjoy a coastal, environmentally sensitive spa treatment at Ocean Crest Spa at Cape Rey Carlsbad Beach, a Hilton Resort & Spa. The “Spa Like a Local” discount of 15% off select treatments from Monday – Friday is offered to all San Diego county residents.
Head over to the Beach Terrace Inn and use booking code NEIGHBOR for 15% off, any length of stay.
Happiness, success, balance, wellness…isn’t a destination, but found in your daily rituals. Not to mention, the future is all about custom individuality. What works for you might not work for someone else.
Take it from Carlsbad’s newest local wellness spa, Miraval Life in Balance Spa which opened last Fall at Park Hyatt Aviara. The “i” in Miraval is all about you. Miraval offerings are open to resort guests and locals alike.

Miraval even has a membership program, perfect for Carlsbad locals. Enjoy discounted spa services, fee-based experiences, guest passes, monthly culinary experiences, quarterly member-exclusive events, select discounts on food, beverage and retail purchases, Ocean View Pool access with spa services, entry into the Aviara Racquet Club with waived court fees, complimentary rounds of golf, reduced green fees at the Aviara Golf Course and preferred pricing on select special resort events.
