Relax – summer’s finally here and the heat of the social whirl is starting to cool down just as the days and nights heat up.
It’s a wonderful time to treat yourself to some of the luxurious spa services in Palm Springs and beyond that you’ve been wanting to sample all winter, especially with so many excellent specials and packages that run all through May.
The Spa at Westin Mission Hills is pegging their specials to Mothers Day, but they are available all month:
Mother Glows Best is a honey-lemon-lavender-sugar scrub using honey produced at the Westin’s own on-site hives and a lavender-scented body lotion that leaves every limb silky and sweet. The Bump for Joy Motherhood Massage is just for pregnant ladies who are past their first trimester, a welcome treat to relieve muscle aches and joint pain and reduce swelling.
The Mom Rocks Massage is for every body, a personalized rub using hot stones and the expertise of trained therapists. Other value-keyed services this month include the Mommy Makeover haircut and blow-dry combined with a essential mani-pedi for a head start on summer grooming, and the luxury Belle Pelle Facial, which combines oxygen, plant stem cells, peptides and enzymatic botanicals to help refresh and rejuvenate.

Over at Rock Spa in Palm Springs, creative treats include the Here Comes the Sun body scrub to ready your skin for faux tanning. With agave nectar, a honey-lavender scrub and a finish of coconut lime body milk, it combines gentle exfoliation with deep moisture benefits. It’s great either before or after the Summer in the City massage, a relaxing treatment using more of their delicious coconut lime body milk.
Two Bunch Palms has some of the most exotic – and often pricey – spa treatments on offer, so now is an excellent chance to experience this favorite move-star hangout without emptying your wallet. Their Mother’s Day spa package is available all month, and include a 60-minute massage, a custom 60-minute facial, lunch at the Essense restaurant, endless soaking in the hot mineral springs Grotto, and all-day access to movement and enrichment classes, as well as the spa gratuity. Bliss!
Sunstone at Agua Caliente Casino Resort Spa also has month-long specials aimed at immediate results and end-of-season detoxing. The Green Tea facial with micro-current and green tea infused with peptides is a powerful treatment that promises to rapidly plump up wrinkles in the eye zone. Add the 20-minute Rose Maroc scrub to polish off dead skin cells all over the body, and the 50-minute Dry Brush and Massage with rose, geranium and rosewood essential oils for a glow that puts the lie to all those late nights.
Finally, Estrella Spa at the Avalon Hotel is promoting Monday through Friday special prices on any custom facial or Swedish massage.
