Inspired by the natural landscape and herbs historically used by Native American tribes, the Accista Spa at the Hyatt Regency Monterey brings forth renewal, abundance, rest or the promise of harvest. Out of the four choices, each spa guest will have the opportunity to select the aroma that resonates within. And this is determined at the front desk, before you even head to the spa.
As you enter the actual spa, a glass table showcases herbs of the area utilized in all the treatments. Think Juniper Berry, Blue Verrain, Eucalyptus, Red Clover, Monterey Pine and Horsetail to name some of the many concoctions that will send you to near slumber on the massage table. The renewal blend, for instance, is a blend of local ingredients that include lavender, peppermint and spearmint essential oils that are expertly rubbed on your body in a rhythmic motion sure to evoke a deep sense of relaxation.
All you need is an hour, but you can opt for 90 minutes of this pure bliss massage if you so choose.
This spa gets its name from the Ohlone Indian’s name for their home -- Monterey, California, which explains why Accista Spa draws its services and products used from the seasonal continuum of nature, inspired by the native people’s respect for the seasonal rhythm of harvest, rest, renewal and abundance.
Gathering from the sea, shore, meadows, mountains and oak groves of California, Accista Spa is worth the stop the next time you're in Monterey.
