"We're really excited to get the accolade." More than 100,000 votes were cast in the different categories. Spa Desert Springs was pitted against other great Southern California spas, Ferraro said. "You can have a wonderful experience in any of the spas in the valley," she said. "I think the benefit that we have with this facility is that it is so large. It has 38,000 square feet. We have 47 treatment rooms." The spa menu includes treatments such as facials, deep-tissue massages, aromatherapy and specialized treatments, she said. "We have (Turkish) hammams," Ferraro said. "And our treatment rooms have views of the golf course and the lake. We also have a full-size saltwater lap pool and a co-ed lounge. There's quite a bit for couples to do here." Their push to offer a luxurious atmosphere has drawn other national attention, Ferraro said. CNN Travel filmed a piece on the spa. "And most recently ‘Housewives of Orange County' filmed here," Ferraro said. A story on the award is included in the November/December issue of Spa Magazine, on newsstands now. |
