Arie is one of those places that it's hard to believe is actually in La Jolla. From the moment you walk in, even in the lobby, this place feels like an oasis.

My husband and I were able to walk from our hotel to this spa. It is in a wonderful location and Birdie is amazing! I got both a massage and facial and my husband only got the massage. The facial made my skin feel amazing and her neck/shoulder massage was one of the best I have ever received! The only reason it lost a star was the massage therapist. I am a massage therapist in Arkansas and have had more than 700 hours of education.
It is clear that the therapist we had at this spa did not have anything close to what I did. While she did have 5 years of experience, she clearly displayed that she was getting burned out and it showed in the massage.

I got a deep tissue massage from Drisan that was awesome. I lift a lot of heavy things for my job and my back can get pretty tight. She seemed to know exactly where to go and the right pressure to give. Very impressed.
