By Michelle Pulfrey

In our region of superlative day spas, it’s challenging to pick the top summer spa treatments. That said, we’ve done our best to highlight some of the season’s most exquisite experiences available at day spas on the coast... so relax, indulge and enjoy!

Montage Laguna Beach - Pure Bliss

Soak up the summer with the ultimate summer glow service at Spa Montage, Pure Bliss Elements of Wellness. This is a head-to-toe treatment that includes a full body scrub, wrap, and body milk hydration ritual, leaving the skin fully exfoliated and hydrated. The treatment concludes with a full-body shea butter application that brightens the skin. This signature treatment for Spa Montage was exclusively designed by their therapist team in Mexico using Lola’s Apothecary products, handmade in the English countryside. The Masterpiece Facial is a Spa Montage signature facial, designed by their skincare partners, Valmont. Using pure medical-grade collagen for the face, eyes, neck and decollete, this treatment infuses the skin with moisture to plump and brighten, leaving you with a radiant glow. Enhance your results with red light therapy, a product infusion boost or microdermabrasion to take an already exquisite facial to the next level. 90/120 minutes $375/$500 Spa Montage | 30801 S Coast Highway, Laguna Beach (866) 271-6953 | montagehotels.com/lagunabeach/spa
