The Auberge Spa

This review is for the spa. We did a couples package on a Sunday morning at 9:30 am (opening) with Christina and Tina, and it was the best spa service my husband and I have ever had. There were so many small details they anticipated and captured, and they both did fabulous deep tissue massages (not the pressure massages many therapists do). We stayed and enjoyed the steam room and infinity pool for hours. You get what you pay for — it is higher than most resorts, so you don’t have a crowd and have good amenities. I recommend booking early in the day and staying until you have thoroughly relaxed, they are happy to have you enjoy.

My boyfriend’s sister recommended Auberge so we were pretty excited to stay there. We are both well traveled and Auberge is the nicest place either of us have stayed. It exceeded our every expectation.
Everything about this place is top notch luxury. The whole experience was perfect. The attention to detail exceptional. The service is amazing. The villas are amazing, our view was breath taking. The pool is beautiful, the spa is serene and I wish I had spent more time at the spa. I had a massage and it was great. There are 3 dipping pools with the infinity edge overlooking the mountains. Breakfast was great. And the kicker is, Auberge has 4 mercedes that they loan out on a first come basis! We were lucky enough to take out an SL convertible each day we were there. The concierge, Molly, was amazing. She was very helpful with recommendations and with scheduling our wine tour and our driver. Auberge is worth every penny and we cannot wait to return next year.

SPA: For those of you born in the era of the Brady Bunch, Mary Tyler Moore Show, and Carol Burnett, you will remember the desperate cry of a «desperate» housewife pleading «Calgon, take me away!!!» in commercial ads. Calgon promised comfort, respite, quiet, and complete restoration all in one little box of bubble bath… Today, we have re-​defined, if not refined the meaning of «take me away…» At Auberge du Soleil, it is an art form. You are immediately transformed when you get there – it is simply magnificent (oh proud a californian I am!) – the hillside, vineyards, foliage, its own micro-​climate – clean, crisp air with a hint of olive. And then the treatments! A Garden Head-​to-​Toe – a full body massage where they slather you with all the herbal oils, salves, lotions that leave you glowing and soft to the touch. Even your hair follicles are smiling! And you can’t leave there without having at LEAST a facial. Martha, my aesthetician, was so genuine and beautiful that I thought: «this is what heaven must be like!» ALL the amenities are there and then some. Auberge is at the top of my list of things to experience (again and again and again…) before I die. And if I do make it to heaven, I will already know what it will feel like…
