The 8 Best Spas in Los Angeles

Elite Traveler picks LA spas that take health and wellness to the next level.

By Elite Traveler

Los Angeles is the city that seems to have it all. The glitz, the glamor; above all, the sizzling intrigue of a place that holds an irreversible presence in the minds of billions across the world, millions of miles away from the Californian coast. Not only does the City of Angels boast some of the world’s finest beaches, greatest restaurants, and Hollywood itself, but it is also somewhat of a mecca for the health and wellness industry too, home to a collection of the finest spas across the globe.

It can be easy to laugh at the culture surrounding the pursuit of health and wellness in a city traditionally known for the pursuit of fame and fortune. Juice cleanses, avocado cleanses, Pilates; this is the city of Gwyneth Paltrow and Kourtney Kardashian, after all. But snigger at your own expense; these are some of the greatest wellness experiences across the globe, offering almost everything, from the traditional to the positively futuristic.

Whether you’re a visitor or dweller to West Coast metropolis, the spas of Los Angeles are just as unmissable as the boulevards and theme parks. For the ultimate experience in relaxation and rejuvenation, Elite Traveler have rounded up the eight best spas in Los Angeles that take health and wealth to the next level.
