Laguna Midday Escape begins with a rejuvenating spa treatment designed to restore balance, quiet the mind, and renew the body. Surrounded by the serenity of the shoreline, each touch invites you to slow down and fully exhale. Your escape continues oceanfront at Splashes, where a thoughtfully composed two-course lunch showcases seasonal coastal cuisine against sweeping Pacific views.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before your visit to Aquaterra Spa, Laguna Beach's oceanfront retreat at Surf & Sand. Can't find what you're looking for? Call us at (949) 376-2772 or email aquaterraspa@jcresorts.com — our team is happy to help.

Booking Your Visit

How do I book a spa appointment in Laguna Beach at Aquaterra Spa?

Booking is easy — reserve online through our spa booking portal, call (949) 376-2772, or email aquaterraspa@jcresorts.com. Weekend slots and our ocean-view couple's room book up fastest, so if you have a date in mind, it's worth locking it in early

What are Aquaterra Spa's hours?

We're open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Hours can shift seasonally, so we always recommend confirming your exact appointment window when you book.

How early should I arrive before my treatment?

Plan to arrive 30 minutes ahead of your scheduled time. That gives you a few minutes to check in, change, and ease into the experience before your treatment begins. Arriving late simply means less time in treatment, since sessions still end at the original scheduled time.

What's Aquaterra Spa's cancellation policy?

We hold all appointments with a credit card and ask for at least 24 hours' notice if your plans change. Same-day cancellations or rescheduling aren't possible, and no-shows or late cancellations are charged the full price of the scheduled service.

Can I visit Aquaterra Spa if I'm not staying at Surf & Sand?

Aquaterra Spa welcomes both resort guests and outside visitors by appointment — you don't need to be staying overnight to book a treatment. Just give us a call to check availability for your preferred date and time.

Location, Views & Getting Here

Where is Aquaterra Spa located, and how far is it from the airport?

You'll find us at Surf & Sand Laguna Beach, 1555 S Coast Hwy, Laguna Beach, CA 92651 — about 20 to 30 minutes from John Wayne Airport and roughly an hour from LAX, right along the scenic stretch of Pacific Coast Highway.

Can spa guests use the pool or beach?

Beach and pool access comes standard with an overnight stay through the resort fee, and a limited number of day passes for non-hotel guests are available through our partner, ResortPass.

Is parking available for spa guests?

Yes. Valet parking runs $75 overnight, day parking is $40, and spa/restaurant validation brings that down to $15 — just mention your spa appointment at check-in.

Does Aquaterra Spa have ocean views?

It does — our couple's treatment room looks straight out over the Pacific, and the entire spa sits inside Surf & Sand, directly on the Laguna Beach coastline.

Spa Etiquette & Preparation

What if I have an injury, allergy, or health condition?

Give our spa specialists a call before your visit so we can take it into account and tailor your treatment safely — the more we know ahead of time, the better we can take care of you.

Can I bring outside food or drinks into the spa?

Outside food and drink are not permitted inside the spa treatment building, and that includes alcohol — this policy is enforced consistently to keep the space calm and consistent for every guest.

Are cell phones allowed in the spa?

We ask guests to keep phones off or silenced in treatment areas and shared lounges, so everyone can fully unwind without interruption.

What should I wear during my treatment?

Whatever makes you comfortable. Most guests forgo clothing during treatments, but you're always welcome to keep some on — either way, you'll be carefully draped throughout, with only the area being treated exposed at any time.

Should I leave my jewelry and valuables at the spa?

We'd recommend leaving valuables at home or in your guestroom safe instead. Jewelry can get in the way of treatment techniques, and you'll likely be asked to remove it before your service starts.

Spa Policies

What happens if I miss my appointment without canceling?

Guests who do not arrive for their scheduled appointment or cancel within 24 hours of the appointment time will be charged the full value of the reserved service.

Do you require a credit card to book?

Yes, every appointment is guaranteed with a credit card at the time of booking.

Is there a minimum age to visit Aquaterra Spa?

Guests must be 16 or older to receive spa treatments.

Treatments, Pricing & What to Expect

Is it safe to get a massage or facial while pregnant?

Many of our treatments can be adapted for expectant guests. Please give our spa team a call before booking so we can recommend the right service and any precautions for your stage of pregnancy.

Is gratuity included in the price of a spa treatment?

A 20% service charge is automatically added to every treatment and shared among the team who cared for you, so there's no need to calculate a separate tip unless you'd like to recognize exceptional service.

Can I request a male or female massage therapist?

Just let us know your preference when you book and we'll do our best to accommodate it, based on availability.

What spa treatments are available at Aquaterra?

Our menu spans four categories — massage, body treatments, organic skin care, and wellness programs including yoga — delivered across eight private treatment rooms plus a dedicated ocean-view couple's suite. Whether you're after deep tissue work, a facial, or a full coastal reset, there's a treatment built around it.

Does Aquaterra Spa offer couples massages and treatments?

Yes, our ocean-view couple's treatment room is one of the most requested spaces at the spa, especially for anniversaries, honeymoons, and special occasion stays in Laguna Beach.

Aquaterra Spa Membership

Is an Aquaterra Spa Membership the same as a hotel rewards program?

No — it is a standalone wellness membership focused entirely on spa and fitness access at Surf & Sand. It's separate from any hotel loyalty program, and you don't need to be a registered hotel guest to use it.

Can I bring a guest with me using my Aquaterra Spa Membership?

Guest privileges vary by membership tier. Please ask our spa team when you sign up, or check with them anytime to confirm what's included with your current plan.

How much does an Aquaterra Spa Membership cost?

Membership pricing and tier options are best discussed directly with our spa team, since benefits can be tailored to how often you plan to visit. Call (949) 376-2772 and we'll walk you through current options.

How do I become an Aquaterra Spa Member?

Reach out to our spa team at (949) 376-2772 or aquaterraspa@jcresorts.com to get started. We'll talk through your routine and recommend the membership that fits best.

Does Aquaterra Spa offer a membership?

Yes. Aquaterra Spa Membership is built for guests who want spa and fitness access as part of their everyday routine, not just a one-time visit — think unlimited access to our coastal-inspired fitness center, preferred treatment pricing, and a rotating set of monthly perks.

What's included with an Aquaterra Spa Membership?

Members enjoy a 60-minute signature service each month — your choice of a Customized Aromatherapy Massage or Ageless Glow Facial — along with a monthly Recovery Lounge session, unlimited fitness center access, member-only pricing across the spa menu, and an invitation to our members-only annual soirée.
