One's Singular Sensation

Imagine: You. Naked. Covered in honey. Doused with warm milk.

A scene out of a cheesy romance novel?

Not quite. It’s the Nature Baby treatment at One Spa in Shutters on the Beach. Eighty minutes of bliss that begin with a deep Swedish massage (possibly the best one you’ve had), followed by an exfoliating lemongrass scrub (please do not, regardless of how good it smells, attempt to eat it). Then close your eyes: The ceiling opens, and water rains from above to rinse you off. You’re subsequently slathered with honey, wrapped up, and left to moisturize, while being given the most insane head and scalp massage. The grand finale? A bath of warm milk. You’ll leave feeling relaxed, renewed, and totally in love with nature.

Even if it is in a cheesy-romance-novel sort of way.


Available at One Spa at Shutters on the Beach, 1 Pico Boulevard, at Ocean Front Walk (310-899-8456).
