Top 10 U.S. Spa Resorts: Cal-a-Vie Health Spa

A SpaFinder Reader's Choice and Travel + Leisure World's Best award winner, Cal-a-Vie Health Spa takes our number 5 slot because of its serene Southern California surroundings, in a secluded valley 40 miles north of San Diego, and its French-inspired architecture and decor.

San Diego is known for having the best climate in the country. So it only seems natural for it to also host some of the most relaxing spa resorts in the country. Leave the pressures of decision-making behind; upon your arrival, you'll work with a wellness consultant to create your personal program. No pressure, though - if you wake up the next day and decide you're more in the mood for a seaweed wrap than your scheduled pedicure, you can deviate from your program as much or as little as you like.

Cal-a-Vie Health Spa even takes the decision-making out of packing for you. They provide a continuous supply of "Cal-a-Vie greys," which are simple workout sweats, t-shirts and shorts. Leave home with a light suitcase and return with hardly any laundry to do! Your variety of indoor and outdoor fitness activities, renewal treatments and delicious meals will thoroughly relax you, and you can return home and keep the mood going.
