When the chilly weather rolls in, and seasonal blues threaten to dampen your days, a little luxury may just be the ticket you need—and L.A. is the perfect place to find some of the finest spas for a luxurious self-pampering session or a group wellness retreat. Yet, with so many options, navigating between Michelin-starred restaurants and globally renowned five-star hotels can be challenging. Thankfully, some of L.A.’s best day spas have been gathered and are listed below to help you find the perfect destination for your next outing during the crisper season. 

Den Mother

While Venice Beach can get rather crowded and noisy, Den Mother has designed a little sanctuary with surrounding greenery to protect you from the flurry of activity on Abbot Kinney Boulevard. This healing house offers a range of treatments to choose from, such as full-body massages, foot baths, acupuncture, and chilled plunges. If you’re looking to make it a day of luxury, you have the option of enjoying the peace and quiet a little longer while sipping on a brew in the tea room, where you can also pick a few plates from Den Mother’s tasty plant-based California Izakaya (a Japanese bar).
