La Costa Spa

California travel expert Veronica Hill of http://www.CaliforniaTravelExpert.com tours the La Costa Spa in Carlsbad.

America's first destination spa resort, the luxurious Spa at La Costa opened in 1965 along the coastal foothills of northern San Diego.

Today, this legendary spa serves up some of California's most pampering spa therapies using local ingredients such as creamy avocados and Carlsbad strawberry seeds.

This 43,000-square-foot center, with 42 treatment rooms and dozens of great spa treatments, is perfect for girlfriends getaways and couples retreats, with a relaxed Spanish Colonial style.

Before your treatment, refresh yourself with some citrus infused ice water and vitamin supplements in the co-ed relaxation room, or head outside to a covered chaise lounge in the spa courtyard.

If you have time to spare, enjoy a fruit smoothie or glass of organic wine in the Spa Cafe.

Before you leave, be sure to find time to make up a couple of spa gift baskets — one to keep and one to share.

I loved the stylish crystal flip-flops and cool yoga clothing from Pink Lotus and Ed Hardy, and the soft and fitted yoga pants by Green Dragon. They also carry great facial products from lines including Pevonia, Epicuren and True.

If you're a spa conniseeur, you'll find La Costa Spa is the perfect spot to indulge, invigorate and inspire.
