Special Treatment on Mother’s Day

San Diego Life: By Sofie Kinnefors

Special Treatment on Mother’s Day

DON’T SETTLE FOR A MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROAD MASSAGE. Instead, have Mom wrapped in roses, relaxed with hot lava rocks or lathered in a rich coffee scrub (while nibbling on truffles). Here’s where to find those special spa gifts, and more:

SMELL THE ROSES

Get wrapped in roses at the Bella Tosca Day Spa and Salon. Guests are cleansed with a full-body hydrating mineral mask then wrapped in European Rose Mud. Includes scalp massage and rose moisture lotion. (50 min., $130)

DIVE IN

Enjoy a Signature Journey to the Sea at Loews Coronado Bay Resort. Package includes a 50-minute Balinese massage, an 80-minute anti-aging facial ritual, coconut-sugar scrub, manicure and pedicure, spa lunch and champagne. (4.5 hours, $485)

THE LAVA OF YOUR LIFE

At the Bellagio Salon & Day Spa, get rocked by a Lava Stone Massage, where an esthetician uses a Swedish technique to relax your muscles and joints with heated lava stones. The treatment targets pressure points with heat, helping decrease inflammation and muscle tension. (60 min., $105; 90 min., $140)

MUDDY BUDDY

Dip into a Calendula Clay Ritual at the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort in Carlsbad. Get a nurturing exfoliation, masking and calming massage using bentonite clay and powerful healing extracts of calendula and aloe vera. (80 min., $240)

COFFEE-CUPPED

At The Spa at Rancho Bernardo Inn, indulge your senses with a Fennel and Coffee Detox. The detoxifying treatment features a customized scrub or wrap and a massage, and is anti-inflammatory and a circulatory stimulant. (80 min., $180)

PEPPERMINT PEDI

Treat your feet to a Hot Peppermint Foot Ritual at Spa Velia. This cleanse and exfoliation, with organic coconut oil, wild-pink pepper oil and Pacific sea salt, leaves feet soft and balanced. Note: Don’t shave your legs one day prior; peppermint can sting! (25 min., $50, as add-on, $35)

THAT’S A WRAP

At the Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa, be surrounded by an Omega-3 Body Wrap to leave skin purified and replenished. An energizing Abhyanga massage aids circulation. (80 min., $175-$185)

GO NUTS

At the Lemongrass Center for Well-Being, get a body-scrub massage that soothes your shell with a walnut-enriched exfoliation, making use of kelp and aloe. An esthetician will crack your tension using a warm-towel compress. (1.5 hours, $175)

FACE TIME

At the Indigo Home for Hair & Body, be energized by a Multivitamin Anti-Aging Facial that releases tension in muscles and works wonders for dry, mature skin. Powerful vitamins and a hydroxy acid exfoliation resurfaces the skin. (60 min., $125; 90 min., $155)

A TREAT FOR TWO

At the La Costa Resort and Spa, fancy a Romantic Journey for Two that includes a 50-minutes couple massage, followed by 45 minutes in the VIP Spa Suite. Enjoy bubble baths, champagne, fresh strawberries and rich chocolate. (95 min., $475)
