The Sheraton Carlsbad is the area's newest treasure, but it is the resort's Ocean Pearl Spa that is truly a gem.
The world-class day spa is sophisticated and modern, yet comfortable and inviting. The neutral palette used throughout provides a tranquil atmosphere that brings a sense of calm to all who enter the stress relieving haven.
Unlike typical resort spas, Ocean Pearl is a place where locals can indulge in personalized service provided by renowned estheticians and massage therapists who were handpicked by Spa Director Jennifer Anderson. The coastal oasis features marine-based treatments that bring new meaning to the world of pampering.
Ocean Pearl offers unique signature body treatments like the Coastal Waters Body Masque. During this delightful 75-minute treatment, organic, hand-harvested ocean mud, rockweed and Alaria seaweed are applied in the French tradition of thalasso-therapy for therapeutic cleansing and toning.
This layering process allows for optimum absorption of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients during an invigorating exfoliation, body mask, firming hydration application and mini-massage. This detoxifying treatment will make your skin glow like never before.
Another must-try treatment is the Signature European Facial, which will leave your skin looking and feeling refined and luminous. This deeply purifying facial focuses on your individual skin care needs using delicious masques, serums and moisturizers blended from organic herbs, fruits and vegetables containing potent concentrations of essential ingredients.
The product lines used and sold at Ocean Pearl include Jurlique, Ilike and Sea Flora, a spa line that blends wild whole seaweeds and natural ocean nutrients.
“The philosophy is really all about pure and organic skin and body care. What that means is everything that we use is really going to promote balance, detoxification and nourishment,” Anderson said.
Unique rituals and therapies accompany every treatment, setting the spa apart and making each visit memorable. For instance, massage treatments are not limited to predefined types of service or technique, such as Swedish or deep tissue. The spa's trained massage therapists customize the treatment and employ the techniques that produce the best result for each individual.
“We understand that each person has unique therapeutic needs when it comes to bodywork,” Anderson said. “We integrate a variety of massage modalities to best meet each of our guest's needs.”
Although the spa is luxurious, its hospitable staff and pleasant atmosphere ensure the experience is upscale but not pretentious. The spa appeals to men and women of all ages and also is child friendly.
Ocean Pearl offers several services for men, mini-treatments for children and numerous treatments couples or friends can experience side by side in a private suite. Spa services include access to the resort's tropical freeform pool, full-service fitness center and tennis and basketball courts.
Anderson said it's perfectly acceptable for one parent to spend a day at the spa while the other entertains the kids at the pool. She said Ocean Pearl is offering Mother's Day spa packages that include a gift for mom.
The spa also offers specialty packages that appeal to brides, golfers, executives, groups, expectant mothers and couples. For information about the specials and packages available at Ocean Pearl, call the spa at (760) 827-2700.
