The hot stone massage uses smooth basalt stones warmed to between 150-200 degrees F and used with a thin layer of lotion or oil to give a light to moderate full body massage (contrary to the photos, they don't just lay them down your spine!).

At 70 minutes, it's an excellent alternative for someone wanting a slower, lower impact treatment than the typical massage options.
Their desert-inspired signature Prickly Pear treatment (designed for couples) includes a sugar scrub with prickly pear (high antioxidant and vitamin c levels), show and long spa tub soak in mood lighting, then a full Swedish/Thai fusion massage. Ask for CARLOTTA.
