About Ojai Valley Inn & Spa
The whitewashed buildings of the Spanish Mission-style Ojai Valley Inn & Spa stand out against the property’s lush and expansive grounds, a dazzling stretch of 220 tree-shaded acres. Hand-painted tiles and blooming gardens add warmth to the historic property, which opened in 1923. Four swimming pools and aromatic courtyards throughout the property provide relaxing outdoor environments for guests, and the refined interiors add a tasteful touch. Spa Ojai Village, located on the resort grounds, offers personalized treatments, a Mind and Body Studio, Artist Cottage and Apothecary, and a health-conscious café. Other dining options include Jimmy’s Pub, Oak Grill and the signature Maravilla.
Some of California’s loveliest vineyards are a short distance away from the Inn, and may be experienced with a limousine tour of the area. The resort’s championship golf course is sculpted naturally from the terrain, and top-tier professionals offer a full-service golf academy. For younger guests, Camp Ojai provides half- or full-day sessions blended with fun and education.

Services
The design of the 31,000-square-foot Spa Ojai reflects the feel of the resort: Mexican tile and artwork decorate the public spaces as well as the 35 treatment rooms, some of which come fit with glowing fireplaces. Outside of the spa are sunbathing areas and a special penthouse with a whirlpools and fireplaces. There are three pools on the site, two of which are located at the spa village and are for adults only.
One of the most popular items on the menu is Kuyam, a mud treatment that nourishes the psyche as well as the body. In the hot kuyam chamber, up to eight participants share memories and meditate while healing clays soak impurities from the skin. The spa, which sells products such as Carita and Decleor at its boutique, also offers dozens of individual treatments for the face, skin, and body. A full-service fitness center is available to spa-goers, and daily fitness classes, power walks, and nature hikes are also offered. For a change of pace, enrichment classes in oil painting or wreath-making take place in the Artist's Cottage.

I just had to write a review after reading some of the negative ones on this site. I have been to this resort twice and am getting ready for a third visit. The first time I took my daughter who was going away to college. It was such an overwhelmingly wonderful experience. From the moment we got out of our car at valet to the final moment checking out we were treated like royalty. The staff at every level is so well-trained and accommodating. The second time I went I went with three girlfriends. One of them is unashamedly "high maintenance". We laughed all weekend because there was nothing she asked the staff for that they couldn't do. Their motto seems to be "no problem". The grounds and spa are clean and beautiful. The only negative comment I have is that I wish there were more yoga classes offered.

Beautiful spa set in beautiful Ojai, CA. The atmosphere is amazing and there's a wide array of services. A little on the pricey side, but what can we expect? It's Ojai.

This "deal" is no deal! If you go to their website the Topa Topa package is already $260. However, the services and spa are excellent!

Best I've had

5.00 out of 5 stars
My recent visit to this Spa was amazing, the warm welcome from the front desk staff set the tone for a perfect relaxing experence. I had a 100 min massage which was rejuvenating and I was in heaven for the entire time, I had lunch in the Spa Cafe which had many healthy choices and first class service. Then relaxed around a beauitful pool getting some sun in a quiet tranquil setting and then returned inside for my Hydrofacial which is a new machine they have which I encourage all to try it out.
I will be back very soon, go try this amazing Spa.

OMG......what a hidden gem!
Being spa junkies at heart we are constantly looking for unique places for our annual girl's weekend getaway. We hit the jackpot with this one!
Wanting to avoid expensive flights, a friend recommended Ojai which fortunately is driving distance from our homes. The spa and the overall resort was truly amazing! The resort staff, especially the spa workers were so helpful & accommodating. They managed to arrange our treatments (massages & facials) at the same time which is usually impossible at other places with four people......so convenient. We all floated out of the spa raving about both services.
We are so impressed by this spa & resort that we've managed to convince our spouses (golf junkies) to take another trip there early next.
Don't look anywhere else......this is a real find!

Locals need more recognition
-
4.00 out of 5 stars
We frequent spas throughout the world...but coming back home to our local resort is still quite a treat. The grounds are impeccable and to savor the full enjoyment one should plan at least a 1/2 day. Take the time to enjoy the common areas, sit by the pool and pamper yourself. This is a great couples retreat as well. The prices are comparative to any destination resort but you get so much more value when you take in the full experience of the valley views and sitting spots on the property.
Only real complaint I would have is the resort management needs to be mindful of the subliminal messages given to the patronage of the local residents. It is really frustrating and makes one stop and think when you BLACKOUT whole holiday periods for the spa and dining options to only hotel guests. Why not staff appropriately and include your bread and butter regulars or group bookings during these times?

This was the best experience I have ever had, the facility and service was outstanding, very friendly and welcoming. I had two treatments which was very affordable compared with other Spas I've been to lately. You would be missing out on an experience if you don't make the effort to visit, also the resorts setting and service was outstanding too.
I'll be back and it will be soon, thanks.

3.00 out of 5 stars
Went with husband on business trip. I felt that the treatments were like any other. They did not have anyone available to do lymph. Anthing "extra" was a charge. Even with the small discount they offered that day it was still very very expensive. There are just too many other options in socal that I would prefer to try before returning to this spa.

ZERO INTEGRITY / COMPLETE DECEPTION
-
1.00 out of 5 stars
1. Reservation Desk: When I called to reserve the penthouse 4-bedroom suite atop the Spa, I was told that suite was already booked & unavailable. Upon arrival I learned the entire SPA was closed, therefore the suite was not available to ANYONE. 2. A few weeks later in November I called to arrange Kuyam, the most popular spa treatment, for our group. I was that service was not available. Never was I told the truth: the entire spa village is CLOSED for renovations for months!!! 3. Makeshift SPA: No steam room, lockers, spa cafe. The treatments were conducted in regular guest rooms.4. Makeshift Fitness Room: only 4 exercise equipment in a regular guest room. No showers nor lockers. 5. Restaurant: Entire menu items had too much salt. For a spa resort, not acceptable. 6. When I checked out, I was invoiced $480.00 for one massage treatment, not the $280.00. They had incorrectly added another guest's service onto my room charge. Unbelievable. Then, I spent days trying to correct it only to be told they would not credit my account until they could get the $200 back from the other guest. BOTTOM LINE: Horrific experience from the unresponsiveness & deception by the Resort Management to poor employee training.

SPA was closed!
-
1.00 out of 5 stars
We made our reservation for our yearly Spa retreat in November and were never informed that the spa would be CLOSED for major renovations during our January visit. So seven haggard Moms who once a year get to escape to a spa were robbed of the whole spa experience. The services were very limited and done in regular rooms for eh makeshift "spa." There were no amenities (quiet room, steam, etc.) and the front desk spa staff was uninformed and badly trained. She messed up my appointment time even though I called her 20 minutes before to confirm! The therapists themselves were very good, they get 4 stars. What made all of it worse was that staff and management had a real "I don't care" attitude. Simple courtesy, a discount on the limited services we did manage to get, or a discount on the $1200 room would have changed our experience and we would return to the new spa! But now none of us want to return ever, and will share this bad experience with others so they can spend their dollars elsewhere.

Absolutely worth the trip to come here. Serene, relaxing spa with beautiful grounds. We stayed for 3 nights and felt absolutely revitalized after we left. The masseuse was excellent, and the fitness facilities and classes were great (lots of variety, enthusiastic instructors). Highly recommended!

It's been a while since I visited Ojai Valley Inn but I was just researching a spa for an upcoming break in California and was reminded just how much my husband and I enjoyed celebrating our anniversary at this gorgeous property.
It's easy to get to from LA; there are tons of things to do; but you'll be just as happy sitting by the spa pool in between treatments and various fitness classes. Absolutely loved it.
