Plenty of awards are decided by a panel of judges. This one was decided by the guests who know AquaVie best. For the second consecutive year, AquaVie Spa at The Westgate Hotel has been named one of the Top 10 Best Day Spas in the nation in the USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards, a distinction earned through public voting from a field of expert-nominated finalists.
Recognition Rooted in Real Experiences
Because the Readers’ Choice Awards are driven by votes, every ballot represents a real visit: a facial that restored a glow, a massage that melted away a long week, an afternoon on the rooftop that felt like a vacation in the middle of downtown San Diego.
“Being recognized as one of the best spa experiences in the US is an incredible honor and a testament to the exceptional experience our team strives to create for every guest who walks through our doors,” said Chris Holmes, Director of AquaVie Fitness and Wellness Club. “Because this recognition is driven by the people who have experienced AquaVie firsthand, it makes the award especially meaningful.”
A Treatment Menu Worth Voting For
Located on the third floor of AquaVie Fitness and Wellness Club, the spa offers a curated menu of massages, facials, body treatments, and wellness rituals designed to restore, relax, and rejuvenate. For radiant, refreshed skin, choose the HydraFacial or one of our Intraceuticals facials. To ease tension and sore muscles, the hot stone massage is a longtime favorite. And if you want the full experience, our immersive spa rituals combine exfoliation, a body wrap, and massage into one deeply restorative journey.
More Than a Treatment: A Full Day of Wellness
Here is the secret that regulars already know: when you book a spa treatment, the entire club is yours for the day. Before your appointment, step into the infrared sauna for a session designed for deep relaxation and recovery. Infrared heat warms the body from the inside out, helping tense muscles unwind and circulation improve, so you arrive at your treatment already at ease. A 15- to 20-minute session is the ideal place to start. From there, rest in the steam room or unwind in our relaxation rooms.
Afterward, head up to the 15,000-square-foot rooftop wellness deck, home to the largest hotel rooftop lap pool in downtown San Diego. Soak in the hot tub, gather around the fire pits as the skyline lights up, and order fresh juices, smoothies, and healthy bites from the AquaVie Bar.
It is the kind of resort-style escape that is hard to find in the heart of a city, and it is waiting just steps from the Gaslamp Quarter.
Make It a Monday (or Tuesday)
Now there is an even better reason to book midweek. When you schedule a spa service on a Monday or Tuesday, we will welcome you with a glass of champagne and a complimentary enhancement to elevate your treatment. It is the perfect way to turn the start of the week into something to look forward to, and with quieter days in the club, you will have even more room to relax.
Your Invitation to Unwind
Two years of national recognition is a milestone, but the true reward is every guest who leaves feeling lighter than when they arrived. Whether you are a San Diego local craving a midweek reset or a visitor staying at The Westgate Hotel, we would love to show you why so many people voted for AquaVie.
