The luxury Spa introduces fragrant facial, body mask
skin treatments especially for Valentine's Day

LA JOLLA, California (January 2007) - The Spa at Torrey Pines, located in the coastal resort town of La Jolla, California, offers a lush retreat in a setting of exceptional natural beauty, an indulgent refuge of therapeutic treatments that promote relaxation and awaken the senses. A day of sensual pampering is a thoughtful way to remember someone you love on the most romantic of holidays, and this Valentine's Day the Spa will indulge the senses with two timeless romantic treats: chocolate and cherries. Visit the Spa during Valentine's week and whet your appetite with a special chocolate/cherry cookie created by Jeff Jackson, Executive Chef for the Lodge at Torrey Pines. Then, indulge in two exclusive, luxurious skin treatments that celebrate the romantic aromas and skin-enhancing qualities of chocolate and cherries.

The Chocolate Cherry skin treatments were created exclusively for the Spa using all natural ingredients. "These treatments feel as decadent as eating a box of chocolate-covered cherries, but with none of the guilt," says Darcie DeBartelo, Spa Director. "Not only do chocolate and cherries smell sumptuous, but they contain antioxidants that renew and nourish the skin." Choose from two special treatments:

  • A Chocolate Cherry Truffle Body Mask, an anti-aging body treatment that uses the natural sugar enzymes of sour cherries to gently exfoliate while nourishing skin. The addition of cocoa bean introduces flavonoids and vitamins B, C, and E to fight signs of aging. 50 minutes: $125.00

  • The Chocolate-Covered Cherry Facial begins with a gentle cleansing of the skin, followed by the careful layering of two delightful masks. First, a sour cherry mask enhances the skin's natural tone. Then, a hydrating layer of chocolate completes the mask. The skin is left feeling toned and moisturized. 50 minutes: $125.00
These exclusive Chocolate Cherry treatments are available February 1 to April 1, 2007. For a limited time, spa guests may schedule both services for the same day and receive a 20% discount on the combined price. Both treatments include an exclusive take home gift to let guests enjoy the exhilarating fragrance and therapeutic benefits of these treatments in the comfort of home.

Perched on the Pacific coast of Southern California, the Spa at Torrey Pines offers an exquisite environment for a rejuvenating spa getaway. Nestled in the Five Diamond-rated Lodge at Torrey Pines, the 9,500-sq. ft. Spa was inspired by the design principles of the Arts & Crafts movement as depicted in the style of Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh. A feng shui expert was consulted to help the designers achieve the Spa's warm, residential ambiance. Separate retreats for women and men feature 14 private treatment rooms, saunas, herbal-infused steam rooms, and an aromatherapy inhalation room. The spa menu boasts a complete line of restorative treatments such as therapeutic, meditative and cobblestone massages, facials, body wraps, and a Vichy shower and hydrotherapy, among other amenities.

The Spa is open to guests of The Lodge at Torrey Pines and to day spa guests. For further information, visit www.spatorreypines.com.
