Best Place to Bathe in Cedar

Imagine escaping to a world where stress no longer exists, where an authentic Kyoto-style Japanese garden is built on a six-acre site, therapeutic enzyme baths beautify the skin and full body massages enhance well-being. That world does exist, and it's at the Osmosis Day Spa Sanctuary, your pick for Best Couples Spa in Sonoma County.

Osmosis is the only spa in the United States to offer the experience of a detoxifying cedar enzyme bath. "It is an incomparable relaxing experience," says Michael Stusser, Osmosis founder. "It is why we have had over 200,000 visitors."

The enzyme treatment is just one of many holistic services Osmosis offers, providing guests with increased sanctuary. "Osmosis is made up of an incredible community of people," says Stusser. "We have a deep sense of commitment and we're in it for the spirit and the wonder of creating sacred time and sacred space."—M.S.
