The spa
A long exhale, two blocks from the water.
A coastal sanctuary of touch, water, and quiet.
Seabloom opened in 2011 in a restored 1920s craftsman two blocks from the water, founded by Mara Linden — a massage therapist who believed a spa should feel less like a clinic and more like a long exhale. Fifteen years on, our team of certified therapists and licensed estheticians has welcomed thousands of guests into a coastal calm of eucalyptus steam, warm stone, and unhurried touch. We keep one rule above all: your time here is yours.
We are a pure day spa — not a clinic and not a medical office. Our work is touch, water, skin, and quiet, performed by certified, licensed hands. Everything is built around one conviction: that the time you spend here should belong, completely, to you.
Gratuity is never expected. Our prices are our prices, and our team is paid a living wage. Come for the calm, not the math.

The facilities
A whole sanctuary, not just a room.
Arrive early and use all of it — the steam, the soak, the lounge, the garden. The treatment is the centerpiece; the spa is the frame around it.
Nine treatment rooms
Including a private couples suite, each with dimmable warm light, heated tables, and your choice of scent.
The water circuit
Eucalyptus steam, an infrared cedar sauna, a warm mineral soak, and a bracing cold plunge — the heart of the spa.
The relaxation lounge
Heated loungers, a tea bar, still and sparkling water, and the kind of quiet that’s hard to find anymore.
A Vichy shower suite
For body scrubs and wraps — a warm rain rinse overhead while you lie back.
A coastal garden courtyard
Eucalyptus, sage, and sea air — where you wait, sip, and slow down before you ever undress.
The apothecary
The clean, cruelty-free skincare and body lines we use — so the glow comes home with you.
The hands
Certified, licensed, and genuinely kind.
All bodywork by California Certified Massage Therapists (CAMTC). All facials & skincare by California-licensed estheticians.
