The history?

Those country club vibes are no accident.

The property was, in fact, originally developed as a high-end 18-hole golf course in 1923.

In the 1940s, it was expanded to include a full-service resort, complete with a swimming pool.

Thats when it really began to draw in the VIPs.

The spa itself wasnt actually built until the late 1990s.

What should you try?

Theres also an ocean-inspired scrub that uses sea salt infused with Ojai citrus.

But you might need a group for that: Kuyam means a place to rest together, explains Morrison.

How environmentally friendly is it?

Most of our ideas have come from different staff members, she explains.

The green initiatives have resulted in property-wide upgrades.

What else do we need to know?

Who can go?

The spa is open to hotel guests and day visitors over the age of 18.

We have a lot of locals who are extremely loyal and come back to their favorite therapists.
