Spa at Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa Barbara

No amenities. The locker/​lounge area is not up to date ! No champagne or beverages are offered without a high extra fee ($ 25 for a glass of champagne) even if you book several treatments.
5 stars for the massage and massage room that overlooks the ocean! Absolutely stunning! The pedicure was great, the nail salon small but cute.

Very relaxing environment. Went in for a massage on last minute Friday afternoon while staying at the hotel, they were very accommodating to me. SO glad I did. I left super relaxed and recharged.

Although the massage was amazing and the room with ocean view was unbelievable the spa amenities were lacking. Very small locker room, steam room was out of service, no pool access and lounge room was small and not very relaxing. If you are only interested in going for a great massage and willing to pay $$$$ with zero spa amenities it is worth it. But do not plan on spending a «spa day» because there isn’t much to offer.
The Spa at the Four Seasons in Westlake Village has much more to offer for the same price.

Had such an amazing facial and massage, following a very tasty and healthy lunch. The staff is courteous and pleasent. Love this place.

Be prepared for prices anywhere from two to five times the usual — with service that ranges from equal, to subpar, to truly superior. Which equates, all in, to a highly variable experience.

I thought about giving this review just 4 stars because the prices are so ridiculous, but it truly is worth the splurge if you can afford it! I had a 50-​min facial and my mother-​in-​law had a 50-​min massage and we both LOVED every second of it. The customer service is impeccable and they really make you feel like you belong there. The facilities are clean and luxurious, with a dry and wet sauna, robes and slippers, showers, lockers, and a relaxation lounge on the second floor with the most comfortable chairs that face the windows overlooking the ocean. The lounge also has teas, lemonade, and snacks, and there’s a fireplace and couches and I would definitely reccomend getting there early to have some extra time to enjoy it all. My esthetician was very nice and offered some helpful tips for my sensitive skin. She used Tata Harper products which left me glowing all day and were nonirritating. I also liked that she wrote down which products she used along with her suggestions but there was no pressure to buy any products. If I had to complain it would be that the 50-​min facial was not a second more than 50 minutes and for $ 170 you would expect a little more. Worth trying once for sure!

When you walk into the facility (next to fitness) you wouldn’t think much of it. The amenities in the spa include a sauna and wet room. The lounge is really nice as you can relax drinking water, tea, pomegranate lemonade while looking at the beautiful ocean. The reason this spa gets a 5 star is because of Kaja, massage therapist. She is amazing! I get massages every month and she knows how to give a massage. Four seasons must hire the best people.
Deep tissue massage: Kaja used firm pressure and it hit the spot. I liked her so much I cancelled my appt for the next day to get another service with her. She was nice enough to come in earlier to see me
Moroccan (massage, hot stones, scrub, hair treatment): ahhhh. It was so nice that I wanted to stay there and relax while listening to the waves outside. Kaja listens to you and makes sure everything (pressure, etc) is perfect.
I was so relaxed after each service that when I got back to my hotel room with my 2 crying kids it didn’t bother me at all, whereas my husband had to leave the room and get a beer!
I will definitely come back and see her. The only thing is that I hope she’s still there the next time I stay there!

I loved my spa day at the Biltmore! You need to get a service in order to use there spa but its sooo worth it and much better to actually get a service with your spa pass rather then paying to use the spa and not receiving a service. I got a manicure and a facial… I got a full day pass to this simple yet elegant/​beautiful spa! The women who did my nails (Sandy) was a such a sweetheart and did a A+ job and gave me a sweet genuine/​warm hug when she finished. I loved the robes, fresh sandals, Lockers, ice towels, all of the staff, wet and dry sauna… details are all thought out. My girlfriend and brought natural salt scrubs which we used in the shower (we used there yummy body wash so not to be too oily)… before we got in the wet sauna (we love the Trader Joes Lavender Salt Scrub when we visit saps)…then we headed out to the beautiful pool, lounged, laughed, dipped in the pool with jazz music under the water… then we walked across the street for a beautiful sunset walk at Butterfly Beach and then finished the day with dinner at the Biltmore! What a decadent and BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE! CLASS ACT! I had the best sleep that night and the sweetest dreams I’ve had in a long time!
PS They have free parking in the back and its pretty to walk through the beautiful grounds to the spa… or you can valet.

I love the Biltmore Santa Barbara, the view is amazing the ambiance is fantastic. The treatment rooms overlook the garden, with views of the Pacific. What could be better? Besides the well trained staff, it is beautiful, relaxing, indulgent.
The only problem with the Four Seasons Spa is you never want to leave. I am so lucky I live near Santa Barbara and can pop in and indulge in a treatment whenever I want.

When I get massages I care more about the massage itself over the ambiance but I could not resist the opportunity to grab a massage after breakfast here. We managed to get the largest suite for the couples massage that day and I could hardly get myself to leave once the massage was over.
The service amenities are impeccable (true for all services at the Four Seasons) but I was still impressed nonetheless from the entire experience. I was a bit concerned when I met the small-​framed woman who was to administer my massage but she did not disappoint; she was strong and knew how to get out out all the knots in my neck, shoulders and back. All the small details made the difference here (i.e. lavender oils), suite décor, etc.
Guests of the hotel receive 20% off hotel services and I highly recommend you budget time before and especially after to hang out in the relaxation lounge on the second floor to have some tea/​water/​lemonade and soak in the amazing views of the garden and the ocean in the distance.

Would be 5 stars but I had to take one off because the lady that gave me a facial wasn’t as friendly as I’d like. Aside from that, the facilities were amazing, great ambiance, the view from the lounge was divine. I sat there with my beau for at least an hour relaxing and taking in the view. I enjoyed their snacks and drinks as well. Love this place and I will be returning.

I love this spa so much, I may marry it.
First, you couldn’t ask for a nicer location. The treatment rooms overlooked a garden, with 180′ views of the Pacific. I felt like I was in a screen saver.
Second, the staff is very friendly and down-​to-​Earth – no snootiness like I’m used to at spas in NYC.
The waiting room was lovely – burning fire, lovely teas and water, beautiful ocean views. The whole room smelled like lavender, but like actual lavender – not a candle.
My masseuse, Lisa, was very nice and gave a great deep tissue massage – firm pressure, but little pain or pinching. She took her time and helped unlock my neck and shoulder muscles; the head massage was pretty fantastic, too. I could go for one every day!

As with all things Four Seasons, the spa is beyond words.
Impeccably trained staff, clean, luxurious, beautiful, relaxing, indulgent.
The only problem with the Four Seasons spa (and the Four Season in general) is you never, ever want to leave. They make life there too good. It’s like living a dream.
