Cal-a-Vie goes far beyond the basic beauty essentials. Facial? No problem. Pedicure? A cinch. Combining traditional European spa therapies with American concepts of fitness and nutrition, Cal-a-Vie revolutionizes the term full-service salon. The spa offers everything from facials, massages, hair and scalp treatments, hydrotherapy, hot stone pedicures, to a personal trainer? Picture rolling hills, wild trails, nature unleashed. The 200-acre Vista retreat resembles a quaint village in Southern France, but there is nothing antique about their methods.

Forget the deciding between thirty minutes and a whole hour. Cal-a-Vie's sessions continuously intertwine in an all-day program. An invigorating morning hike kicks off the day. The path then leads down the hills into the 17,000-square-foot Pavilion, where professionally trained specialists create well-rounded programs tailored to improve the cardiovascular stamina, endurance, flexibility and strength of each individual guest. After a delicious (and well deserved) lunch on the patio, it is finally time for pampering.

Cal-a-Vie has an organic affinity for skin. Utilizing only soothing and hydrating treatments comprised of land, sea, flower and herbal extracts and healing clays, Cal-a-Vie ensures your skin is in good hands. A great example is Thalassotherapy, the ultimate cure for fitness fatigue. This signature seaweed wrap uses natural seaweed harvested off the coast of Brittany in France. A warm, rich seaweed paste is smoothed over every sore inch of your aching body, while a therapist performs a face and scalp massage. Now for the cocoon effect—you are sealed tight in a thermal blanket for 25 minutes to help the body detoxify and replenish by absorbing all the seaweed's nutrients.
