In 1882 John Frazier, one of Carlsbad's founding fathers, tapped a mineral spring and shortly thereafter a mineral water bath spa was opened. The popularity of the healing water drew the visitors. Hotels were built, businesses sprang up and new homes were constructed. Carlsbad's popularity as a destination for those seeking comfort, through body therapy had begun.
Carlsbad's reputation as a spa destination continues with luxurious spa resorts and a multitude of tranquil day spas offering spa services for any budget. Carlsbad is home to America's first full-service spa resort, the legendary La Costa Resort and Spa. Thanks to a $140 million renovation, the all-new La Costa Resort and Spa is a wonder to behold.
Guests at the Spa at La Costa are treated to a variety of water experiences. A thundering Roman waterfall shower, a dip in an 85-degree heated pool, indoor and outdoor Jacuzzis, steam rooms and saunas, all in preparation for the exotic body therapies that follow. The Indochine Indulgence includes products from the sea and a ritual bath.
