Catch Some 'Me Time' With Our Picks for Local Spas
Enjoy a peaceful escape right in your own neighborhood.
Between work, school, family, pets and whatever other obligations we have, we all need to work in some quality downtime to take care of ourselves every now and then.
That oh-so-precious “me time” can come in many forms, but if you want to pamper yourself while rejuvenating your body and mind, consider heading to your local spa. Often when the word “spa” is mentioned, people think of deluxe fantasy getaways in remote places that only spoiled celebrities can enjoy on a regular basis, but there are a handful of great, local options for us working folk. Check out one of these Peninsula spas for a dose of relaxation close to home.

Housed in a building that was once used to test noise-minimizing windows, this spa offers services in a quiet, homelike setting. Clients step into what appears to be a private bedroom for a Swedish massage or pain-relieving Elmore Oil treatment. Services include electrolysis.
