Spa Santangelo — Attraction in Scotts Valley

Not just a massage—this is a full-body retreat.

This isn’t your typical corporate spa. It’s a laid-back, beautiful, and clean space tucked between two magical redwood fairy rings. Surrounded by towering trees and birdsong, the vibe is calming from the moment you arrive. You can feel that this place was created with care.

Start your day with a soul-soothing walk at Henry Cowell (just down the road), then treat your body to deep rest and renewal at this small but extraordinary spa. Once you’re on the table, everything else melts away. When it’s over, you’ll already be thinking about your next visit—because spots book up fast.

Appointments are staggered, 2 per day allowing for one to easily relax, read or meditate. Melissa also wore a mask and gloves during the entire massage. She is an incredible intuitive and given the time away, her massages were fantastic. We left feeling restored. A perfect day at this...
