The Best Couples Spa Date in LA
Last Saturday we had the most relaxing day at Larchmont Sanctuary Spa! We’ve literally been go go go for the last few months and decided to take a much needed break. One thing I’m sure we could all focus more on is self care. Sure, it’s important to feed your body the right food, to exercise and stay fit, but it is just as important to nurture your body with meditation, relaxation, healthy self conversation, massage and good sleep.
Keep reading to find out why we are still vibing so high from this spas hydrotherapy copper tub, CBD massages, full body scrubs and just how perfect this neighborhood getaway is!
Larchmont Sanctuary Spa
We discovered Larchmont Sanctuary Spa through Instagram and boy are we happy we did! The Spa is located on Larchmont Blvd in a very beautiful part of Hollywood. It’s a perfect little hidden gem and the most intimate spa experience we have ever had!
When we arrived at the spa there was free parking right out front. We were kindly greeted by the friendly staff at the front desk with champagne.
Immediately we fell in love with the good vibes of this place.
We were then given the tour and told when ready, to wait in the common area. There were sandals and robes to get into along with anything else you might need. Shampoo, conditioner, lotions, Q-tips, hair brushes, mouthwash, blowdryers…
They have you covered!
In the waiting / common area there were comfy lounge chairs to lay on, or you can just chill by the fireplace.
They also had complimentary hot and iced tea, water, dried mango, banana chips and almonds. The best snacks ever amiright!?
Copper hydrotherapy tub
After just a few moments we were escorted to the copper tub room. It was set up with a bottle of champagne, a pitcher of ice cold cucumber water and an overflowing bubble bath from their custom-designed ergonomic copper hydrotherapy tub large enough for two. It was quite honestly a dream come true!
What are the benefits of copper?
Copper has a restorative effect on joint movement and connective tissue by reducing inflammation associated with rheumatism, arthritis, osteoporosis, tendonitis and sports injuries. When your skin touches the surface of a copper tub, your body absorbs small amounts of copper — and without any of the gastrointestinal side effects so common with anti-inflammatory drugs. If your diet is deficient in trace minerals such as copper, a copper bathtub is a relaxing way to replenish your body with this essential element.
After a little bubbly and some soothing full body relief in the hot tub we were completely loosened up for our massages! We toweled off and headed to the outdoor cabana where we both got an hour and a half deep tissue massage with CBD oils.
It’s exactly what the Dr. ordered!
CBD Massages
Our masseuses were Lisa and Sam. From the moment they greeted us they were kind, warm and welcoming. They explained the treatments in great detail and asked if we had any questions. They were interested in what areas we needed extra attention on and were very knowledgeable on how to help ease the tension.
What is CBD
They explained that they would be using CBD as part of the treatment. CBD is one of many compounds, known as cannabinoids, in the cannabis plant.
Marijuana contains both THC and CBD, and these compounds have different effects.
CBD is different. Unlike THC, it is not psychoactive. This means that CBD does not change a person’s state of mind when they use it.
Natural pain relief and anti-inflammatory properties
People tend to use prescription or over-the-counter drugs to relieve stiffness and pain, including chronic pain. Some people believe that CBD offers a more natural alternative.
Authors of a study published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine found that CBD significantly reduced chronic inflammation and pain in some mice and rats.
There are also studies to show that CBD can help with Quitting smoking and drug withdrawals, Epilepsy, Other neurological symptoms and disorders, Fighting cancer, Anxiety disorders, Type 1 diabetes, Acne, Alzheimer’s disease and many more.
We encourage you to check out CBD for yourself and the health benefits it possesses!
Body Scrubs
After our hour and a half in heaven we received a 30 minute body scrub. We both got the Lemon Verbena Sugar Polish. This full body cleansing and exfoliation from an exquisite marriage of organic sugar crystals, jojoba oil and essential oils of geranium, rosemary, cypress and mint left our skin minty fresh and super soft for the rest of the day.
Best Spa in LA!
We are honestly still very much buzzing from our treatment and time at Larchmont Sanctuary Spa! We recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking to escape the daily grind of being an adult. Lets face it, it’s hard and we need to make that time for our bodies!
