Spa Experiences
Kuyam: the signature mud treatment at Spa Ojai

In every way, the Kuyam treatment at Spa Ojai is a celebration of the harmony of cultures. From the design and decor of the Kuyam chamber, to the use of healing clays and the sharing of a communal experience, the Kuyam marries the best of ancient traditions with the new. The word "kuyam" means "a place to rest together" in the language of the Chumash people who originally inhabited the Ojai Valley, but the Kuyam also takes inspiration from the traditional healing ways of many cultures.

The only treatment of this type in the United States, we encourage all of our guests to experience the Kuyam.

This treatment combines the therapeutic effects of cleansing mud, dry heat, inhalation therapy and guided meditation. A terry wrap will be provided. Accommodates up to eight men or women per session.


Recreation

California's breathtaking Ojai Valley has a centuries-old tradition as a gathering place for the health and fitness minded. Part of that tradition includes the 220-acre Ojai Valley Inn that was originally created as a world-class golf destination, but has developed over the past eight decades into a full-service resort with endless activities for all ages. In fact, Condé Nast Traveler readers consistently rank the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa in their annual Gold List among the top resorts in California.

Golf
In a setting as natural and unspoiled as the Ojai Valley, it is only fitting that it's home to one of America's premier championship golf courses. First sculpted from the natural terrain in 1923 by renowned architect George C. Thomas Jr., this historic 18-hole course plays 6,292 yards and par 70. The legends of golf have all played here- Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Chi Chi Rodriguez are but a few who come to mind.

The course is fully staffed by PGA Professionals who are experts at organizing group events, clinics, tournaments and both individual and group instruction. The Inn also features a fully stocked Golf Shop with the finest selection in sportswear apparel, equipment and golf accessories.

Children's Program
Just about anything the kids would want to do, they can do at the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa. So bring the kids along and get set to have a great family getaway!

According to the LA Parent Magazine "the most kid-friendly lodging is at the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa". Our programs for kids are second to none! Our 800 acre Ojai Valley Ranch and Stables are great for horseback riding and pony rides for the little ones. There?s hiking, biking, fishing, softball, volleyball, and a host of other activities guaranteed for family fun and togetherness.

There are no services on the islands, please pack in what you will need for the day, including food and water, and pack out all trash. Dress in layers for outdoor activity, and wear sturdy shoes for safety and comfort.

Whale watching
On all Island Packers' trips to the Channel Islands we cruise with an open eye for wildlife, especially everyone's favorite, whales and dolphins. There are also two seasons each year where we specifically go out into the waters of the Santa Barbara Channel and the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary just to look for whales. The annual gray whale migration in the local area is best viewed from late December through March. Shortly after the gray whale migration has passed, there is a chance to see other large whales like the endangered humpback and the blue whale. Humpback and blue whales are attracted to the local area during periods of upwelling, an ocean condition that produces the planktonic food preferred by these whales. Typically the ocean conditions that produce this feeding phenomenon occur between July and September.

Channel Island Kayak Cave and Cove Adventure
Come with us and explore one of California's most pristine and untouched natural wonders the Channel Islands. We transport you to one of the Channel Islands where our expert guides will take you on an adventure you will never forget. On the way out to the islands we often encounter dolphins and whales in the Santa Barbara Channel and close in to the islands. When we arrive the guide orientates the group also giving instruction and lessons to beginner groups before we set out into clear island waters. As we paddle you will be amazed by the visibility, you can look down and see the bottom 40 to 100 feet below your kayak teaming with sea life. When you look up, you'll see spectacular sea caves, rock archways, and fountain like blowholes. We travel into several of the fantastic sea caves for a closer look at these natural formations, and the plant and animal life they contain. The islands are rich in animal life being home to several species of seals and sea birds just to name a few. When conditions permit we stop to snorkel in calm coves on warm days. With the clear waters and rich sea life it is a terrific experience. These sites are one of the gifts the world offers us. When we take the opportunity to experience them, we experience life.
