One of the finest spa resorts in California, Carmel Valley Ranch is a playground for all ages, and while some guests may seek joy in the oak forest testing their physical endurance, others may find the most restorative play takes place at Spa Aiyana. Spa Aiyana, which translates to “eternal blossom,” is nestled in the treetops overlooking pastoral Carmel Valley below, adjacent to the resort's main gathering area, the Lodge and the Lodge pool. Being on Native American grounds, the name fit so well with the 500 acres of garden on which it sits. The spa spans 10,500 square feet and has 11 treatment rooms, most of which have private outdoor terraces. There are three couples treatment rooms, grouped in the same wing, allowing them to be sequestered for private functions, such as pre-wedding and birthday spa celebrations. The spa also features a full manicure and pedicure salon, heated pool, private men's and women's locker rooms, with steam saunas, as well as a co-ed Relaxation Lounge and a 24-hour Fitness Center.
