VODA Spa

7700 Santa Monica Blvd West Hollywood (323) 654-4411

 

It’s conceivable to check into this sprawling spa and never want to leave.  After all, where else can you find not just pampering and cutting edge beauty treatments, but also tasty cocktails and healthy, delectable food under the same roof?  The 15,000 square feet facility located in bustling West Hollywood provides respite from the city’s frenetic energy and aims at being a one-stop shop for beauty and leisure.

 

After you’ve been whisked past the stunning floor-to-ceiling waterfall in the entrance and changed in the immaculate locker room, you can center yourself in the dimly lit relaxation lounge.  But if you prefer, you can also take advantage of the indoor swimming pool, cold plunge pool and unique saunas, each representing a cultural tradition.  There’s a Turkish-style steam room, Finnish-style hot sauna and two Russian style saunas, called banyas where the uplifting fragrance of oak birch and eucalyptus transport you to nirvana.

 

There are myriad treatments to suit every person but the Russian Opulence facial, a decadent treatment that involves several unhurried steps and potent antioxidants, is perhaps their most luxurious facial. It begins with a thorough exfoliation with micro-crystals to treat fine lines, wrinkles and pigmentation variations and after a round of extractions, eventually leads to the Silver Ion Mask which utilizes the chemical element of silver to ensure all the nutrients are effectively absorbed into the skin. While a seaweed and green tea mask add the finishing touches on the facial, an invigorating hand and foot treatment is ministered to prepare you for your return to the world outside.  For a truly indulgent time on your own, a romantic treat or a celebratory gathering of friends, you can also opt for the VIP treatment suite replete with a dedicated spa tub, sauna and treatment room.
