The oceanfront Forbes Five-Star Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay recently unveiled its spa’s transformative renovation: a sanctuary reborn with reimagined lounge spaces, elevated wet amenities, and aesthetic enhancements. Upon arrival at the revitalized oasis, guests find a sense of serenity amid the fully refreshed changing rooms and tranquil relaxation lounges. The rejuvenating journey continues with the spa’s revamped water amenities, including a soothing Himalayan salt sauna, purifying steam room, invigorating cold plunge bath, and indulgent mineral whirlpool, promising to awaken the senses.
Each treatment room has been refined under the creative direction of Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA), creating a harmonious cocoon of tranquility and comfort, where even the most minute details, from the soothing artwork to the thoughtfully curated furnishings and accessories, cultivate an ambiance of luxury. Complementing this restorative sanctuary, the unveiling introduces a curated suite of innovative new treatments, inviting travelers to connect with the deep healing energy that emanates from Half Moon Bay’s awe-inspiring coastal locale.
“We are thrilled to unveil our completely reimagined spa and wellbeing program,” says Rakesh Thapliyal, director of spa. “The new space supports our overarching goals of creating a holistic wellness experience at the resort, focusing on nurturing the mind, body, and spirit through innovative therapies and an environment that encourages transformation.”
