A true Spa Treasure!

I LOVE this place and they have great spa deals if you sign up for their emails. I normally do massages but I also go there for their facials because they do an excellent job in extractions and deep cleansing. This is a small spa but I never feel so relaxed!

Magical

I have visited this spa on several occasions. It's a great place to relax after work. The ambiance is calming, quiet and very relaxing. I also enjoyed the pomegranate mimosa that was offered to me. It was a nice added bonus to sip on while I relaxed on the comfy couch listening to the fountains in the relaxation room. After a short wait I wasn't quite ready to get up and start my treatment!! I found the staff to be professional, polite and overall very welcoming. I have told my friends and co-workers about this spa and their multiple services, one of my favorites is the eye brow waxing!

I fell in love with this spa. The atmosphere was relaxing and very soothing. Everyone was very sweet and accommodating. I had the sea salt exfoliating scrub and a massage. Both were very nice. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Wonderful (but a bit pricey)

The amenities, services, staff - everything about Spa Velia is wonderful. W/ every service comes oppty to sit in the meditation room & use the steam room. I've had facials, massages, a geranium body wrap (incredible!) & brow waxes and always been very happy. I also like that their staff informs you about what products they are using & what products they would recommend for you but the staff don't pressure you to buy. Only drawback is the prices for massages and facials are about $20-$45 more than other local places.

My Spa Experience!
By TrishF | May 17, 2007

I visited Spa Velia on a recent vacation to San Diego. It was definitely a highlight of my trip! From the moment I walked in the door I felt welcomed and at ease. Everyone was extremely attentive to my every need. I can honestly say that the deep tissue massage that I received was the best massage of my life! I left feeling a sense of renewed spirit. I recommend Spa Velia to anyone requiring a moment a peace

Relaxation at its finest!
By SofiaN | February 18, 2007

Greeted with lush fluffy terrycloth robes, a glass of champagne, you then enter a velvet, candle lit relaxtion lounge, a visit to the co-ed steam room before and after treatments, (met a really nice man named David :) we have actually been on a date since then! ). After my deep tissue massage and excellent facial, I indulged in a fabulous oversized 360 degrees natural water flow shower.... image shower heads coming at you from every angle. This day at a spa was a treat!!! Can't wait to visit Spa Velia again. Cheers Mate!

Relaxing, Clean and Comfortable...
By Sonia | January 29, 2007

This was my first time at this spa and I didn't know what to expect. I was trusting the internet and I was 100% satisfied with the results. I had a relaxing massage and a facial. The staff was very nice and helpful. The grounds were very clean and very relaxing. I didn't feel rushed or uncomfortable. I chose this place over the W Hotel spa (it's directly across the street) and was amazed on how perfect it was. I will visit this spa again and would reccommend it to all.

My San Diego favorite
By spagal | December 29, 2006
5.00 out of 5 stars
This is a small, nurturing place in the middle of the city. The atmosphere is great, as are the services, but it is all the little extras that make this place so special. The 7-head showers are a spa service in themselves. The lounge is very relaxing, the robes to die for (!) and everytime I go I get a complimentary glass of wine or a special treat of some sort. I feel special there. The owners have obviously been in the spa business for a long time, they do it right!

Spa Velia is spa perfection. It is my new regular for facials, massage, and waxing. There is no release after work better than walking through the wooden door into the treatment area, sipping a pomegranite mimosa, and relaxing in the lounge. I am relaxed before I even begin. I swear by the MD Peel. It is nice to know I have finally found a place that offers service, atmosphere, and killer treatments.

Great Birthday

Spa Velia was a great experience. I've been going to spas for many years and sometimes it's a "hit or miss". This was deffinetly a "hit". I can't remember the last time I had a massage that was so detailed and I loved the eye pillow and the aromatherapy oils were heavenly. I found the intimate atmosphere and the beautiful decor to be very warm and personal. The robes were plush and steamroom and showers were a great surprise. I can't wait to make my next appointment.

Great place to bring your sweetie!

I came here with my boyfriend and we had such an incredible experience. It's like walking into a little Italan Spa. Very Old- world feel to it! We were able to have a glass of wine, snuggle in chenile robes, go into the Co-ed steam room together. I had my first lomi-lomi and my body felt so relaxed and like a limp-noodle afterwards....I'm usually so tense. The shower is cool..a bunch of shower-heads..feels so yummy...like being in a car wash!
