Originally opened in 1962 as Vacation Village by Hollywood producer Jack Skirball, the 44-acre Mission Bay island resort now known as Paradise Point houses The Spa at Paradise Point at 1404 Vacation Rd, 92109. Recognized by Condé Nast Traveler as one of the top resort spas in the United States, the spa features nine treatment rooms, herbal-infused eucalyptus steam rooms, a dry sauna, an outdoor whirlpool, and two rooms equipped with Ofuro Japanese soaking tubs for immersive hydrotherapy rituals. Signature experiences include the Island Origins treatment, a two-hour session combining a guided botanical tour of the resorts 600-plus species of exotic foliage, a 50-minute massage with ginger oil, a hibiscus foot scrub, and a scalp treatment using plants grown on the property. The Thai Kelapa Ritual offers a traditional Thai cleansing ceremony, Thai massage, Thai foot massage, and a soak in one of the Ofuro tubs. Resort guests and day visitors can extend their experience with waterfront dining at Tidal, the on-site restaurant serving locally inspired seasonal dishes overlooking Mission Bay. The spa also operates a full-service salon offering hair and nail services, and a private garden courtyard connects the treatment bungalows to the relaxation patio. All therapists are professionally trained and deliver each service with locally sourced, botanically inspired products that reflect the resorts tropical island character. Reservations are recommended and can be made through the SpaTime online booking portal or by calling 858-490-6350. Visitors staying off-property who want to explore Pacific Beach before or after their spa appointment can pick up surf gear at Pacific Beach Surf Shop for a morning on the waves. The Spa at Paradise Point is open daily from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
