Ocean Day Spa, Carlsbad, California

Ocean Day Spa is my go-to for rest, relaxation, and genuine self-care. The staff is so friendly and offers a wonderful variety of services. I've been going here for years, and Kristen is THE BEST esthetician—I don’t trust my skin to anyone else. With my combination skin type, her facials leave me with a fresh, healthy glow that not only looks great in the moment, but lasts for months thanks to the quality and care she puts into every treatment.

Kendall was great! Had a 1 hr facial and she did amazing. She took the time to evaluate my skin, ask me about my concerns, and made it relaxing, and sweet. Loved every minute!

Wonderful little Day Spa. I found Ocean Day Spa accidentally years ago when they first opened. Their cozy little spa is always spotlessly clean, nurturing and calm. They use only the best products, clean and natural and effective. I’ve had many massages of all types (hot stone, aromatherapy, Himalayan salt, CBD, and more) along with many many wonderful facials (pumpkin mask, layered, citrus, and more). I can honestly say each and every service I have had over the years has been exceptional. I love that they always have a pot of healing tea brewing to greet you when you arrive. They sometimes have monthly specials, which gets me trying new things. So fun! Everyone who works there is calm and kind, professional and efficient. I’ve bought nice unique gifts and self-care products from the spa over the years (like The Proper Roller) and I am so grateful for their knowledge that has helped me take care of my body and ease pain. Ocean Day Spa is a wonderful gem for taking care of yourself, nurturing yourself, and keeping your skin glowing and healthy too. Give them a try, you will be very happy you did! I’ll take some photos next time I go and post them here later. I returned yesterday (10/21/2025) and had a wonderful warming CBD massage with Brindley. (Monthly special!). One of the best massages I’ve ever had! You must go.😁

First time going to Ocean Day Spa and I was so glad I gave them a try! Booking online was easy and I got the 50 minute CBD massage with Mikenna. She was very professional and did an amazing job with my massage. I left feeling very happy and relaxed.

Although Ocean Day Spa has been right next door to my favorite nail salon for years, I had never gone inside. Boy, was I missing the boat! My massage therapist, Ashley, was there to greet me when I walked in the door. It was a welcoming environment with cute decor. They have a nice waiting room and selection of beverages for before and after your massage. Ashley has skills. She's been doing massage for 10 years, and you can tell. Very strong hands, very knowledgeable, and we had a pleasant conversation (I like to talk during massages). She massaged muscles that other massage therapists don't seem to bother with. I felt like I had been getting incomplete massages all these years. It was an all-around great experience. I highly recommend Ocean Day Spa and Ashley!

A very unassuming location, but worth the visit! I received the 1 hr facial and it was excellent. Very relaxing and one of the better facials I’ve ever had (even outranked fancy hotel day spas!) My therapist was well educated and ensured that I was comfortable and relaxed for the entire service. The price was also right, especially for Eminence products. Will be back soon!

It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish. I came in with high expectations and I made some comments of constructive criticism. I returned three weeks later and every single one of my suggestions were not only considered but acted upon. I was completely blown away and impressed. Sarah is a gifted esthetician. Her hands have pure love in them. She listens and is attentive and strives to offer her very best. This spa exceeded my expectations in many ways, please recall they were high to begin with. Thank you Sarah.
