Golfer’s Massage: the Spa at Pelican Hill, Newport Beach

After a day of hitting balls on the 36-hole golf course at the Resort at Pelican Hill, men can hit up the Spa at Pelican Hill for some much-needed down time to pamper tired muscles.

The 50-minute Golfer’s Massage is a deep massage designed to relieve and reduce muscle tension, joint pain and stiffness. The unique part of this treatment is that golf balls are used to target pressure points. The goal is to relax the muscles and work on improving flexibility. The massage is based on Natura Bisse products and protocol, with a four-step process: relax, warm-up, treatment and stretch.

After the treatment, male guests can unwind in the men’s Acqua Colonnades with herbal steam room, sauna and saltwater soaking tub or head to the men’s relaxation lounge for some peace and quiet. The Five Star spa also offers a spa cuisine menu.

Gentleman’s Hot Towel Facial: the Ritz-Carlton Spa, Laguna Niguel

Appropriate products are used to suit each individual’s skin type. The facial includes steam, gentle extractions and a facemask and concludes with a moisturizing serum, leaving skin hydrated and refreshed. Shaving prior to treatment is recommended but not necessary. The treatment also includes a relaxing hand and foot massage.

The facial can be combined with one of the Spa’s ocean-inspired treatments that utilize rich minerals, sea salt, algae and water. The Spa facility also includes a men’s-only steam room, sauna, locker room and waiting lounge, and an outdoor Jacuzzi at the pool.
