Not your typical spa experience
I regulary go for facials (one a month) and after receiving a gift card to Spa Velia I thought I would try it out. The facilities were nice although a little tight and contained for me. I love spa's that have the open air about them and while it was somewhat relaxing, Spa Velia was a little too crammed for my style.
I made an appointment for what I thought was a normal facial. It started out fine. Washing, extractions etc. After that, my therapist informed me she was going to put a mask on my face and informed me it may tingle. Umit did everything but that! It BURNED!!! It burned to a point that I felt like my skin was falling off. I told her it was burning and she started fanning my face with her hands????
I am in my mid-20s and have always taken good care of my skin, so there wasn't a reason for something to hurt so much. I should have gone with my first instinct and booked a massage!!!

Refreshing
I went to Spa Velia as a bit of a treat to myself after a hectic week. When I arrived I was greeted with a smile, and it only got better from there. By the time I left I felt like a whole new person. Thanks Velia!!

Voted #1 for Good Reason
I was experiencing a few problems with my skin. The cohabitation of pimples and wrinkles was extremely frustrating. The estheticians at Spa Velia were very professional and gave me sound advice and guidance. After just two facials my skin is showing great progress. No more breakouts and my laugh lines are less pronounced.
I can't comment on any other service as I haven't had any.

Great Spa Experience
This is a great place for a spa day! I loved everything except location (downtown parking is not fun) and it was just a little more expensive than other places I like.

Best Massage in San Diego
Meiko is the best! The staff is very friendly. If you are looking for a great massage, you need to go and see Meiko.

Amazing santuary!
I was in SD for business and had a massage and facial at Spa Velia. The experience was heaven. My technician was professional and anticipated my needs before I could ask. The spa itself is a haven for the busy professional. You really feel like you've walked away from your troubles and into a safe, warm, and most comortable place. Can't wait to go back!

When you go to this place you will feel like if you were in the clouds because it is very relaxing. You will enjoy coming here especially because they have great facials and massages.

Best Epicuren Facial
If you are familiar with Epicuren facials- Spa Velia has the best. You can book a shorter one if you are in a time crunch or go for an 80 minute that includes dermabrasion. They carry the complete Epi facial line for retail too. I am addicted :)
