For most of us, days at the spa are the ultimate bank-breaking extravagance that we can only justify a few times a year.
San Diego spas boast skin treatments guaranteed to leave you wrinkle free and massages that will transport you to a tropical paradise - but most times, this indulgence will cost you a pretty penny. We think relaxation should not have to come with a painful price tag. And with a little investigating, we have compiled the top ten San Diego spas and lavish hour-long spa treatments so you can treat yourself for $100 or less. Discover the top ten San Diego spas that won't break your bank account.
Joelle's Day Spa
Joelle's Day Spa in La Jolla offers a skin-perfecting, 60-minute Vitamin C infusion facial ($90) which helps rejuvenate your skin and relax your inner soul. After an hour in this beautiful La Jolla spa, your skin will feel smooth and full of moisture.
Heavenly Touch Day Spa
We know how easy it is to spend your monthly paycheck on the newest fashions from Bloomingdales, leaving you with an unforgiving budget for pampering your skin. Thankfully, this Mission Valley spa offers a signature 60-minute facial for $75 dollars - a quarter of what you just spent at the new Fashion Valley True Religion store.
A Serenity Day Spa
Gather your gal pals for a day at A Serenity Day Spa in Point Loma where you can choose between a Wrinkle-lift Facial, a 4-Layer Face Lift, or an Oxygen-C Facial for only $100. If you begin to feel that pesky urge to spend a little more, then look no further than the Full Evening Retreat Spa Night for a two hour slice of heaven that is only $135.
Revive Day Spa
Revive Day Spa in La Mesa offers fun and luxurious body treatments and wraps made from pineapples, blueberries, and chocolate - all guaranteed to leave your skin silky smooth and smelling sweet. Revive has a knack for natural ingredients, just try their Garlic Acne Facial ($85), and although a little smelly, it is the perfect treatment for any teenager seeking clear skin.
Mirabella Mansori
This stunning Solana Beach salon offers high-tech treatments and also boasts some seriously high prices, yet their relaxing facials and massages are the perfect way to receive high-quality pampering at an affordable price. Both the Natural Beauty facial ($80) and the signature Swedish massage ($90) will leave your skin and your wallet feeling relaxed and stress-free.
Haute Spa
The allure of a hot-stone massage is one we often only see in the movies or magazines, but thanks to Haute Spa in Point Loma, we can now opt for luxurious treatment on the cheap. Their creative Back-to-Life treatment combines a full back facial and a hot stone massage for a cool $85. This spa also offers a 90-minute "Haute Summer Detox Body Wrap" for $95 to help you get that killer bikini bod.
Bergamot Spa
Bergamot Spa in Leucadia has become a favorite San Diego spa, with lavish treatments and a beautiful facility. Now San Diegans with slightly smaller budgets can also indulge at Bergamot. The $95 dollar Swedish massage caters to your every need and will leave you feeling like royalty, while the signature Bergamot Facial ($100) is essential for all sun-kissed San Diego skin.
Casablanca Spa
If the name "Aroma Lux" doesn't fully captivate you, the price-tag surely will. For $95, Casablanca Spa in Rancho Santa Fe offers the hour-long aromatherapy massage to leave you rested, relaxed, and restored. At Casablanca Spa, treat yourself to Rancho-style luxury without the community's signature sky-high prices.
About You Day Spa

The Sanctuary
The Sanctuary in Ocean Beach offers the most unique treatment on our list: the Organic Yam and Pumpkin Enzyme peel ($95). This lush service exfoliates and deeply cleanses any skin type while the scent of spiced pumpkin surprises you with its relaxing power. The Sanctuary also has a $90 hot stone massage and $95 organic fruit AHA peel; both which will leave your skin with a healthy, radiant glow. Main photo: The Sanctuary.
