Urban Oasis!. I love this little spa located in Downtown/Little Italy. I have received a few massages here and have always had exceptional experiences. They put the ahh in spa. I highly recommend, Buck and Marcy-both exceptional massage therapist.

Lupe-has given me one of the best facial experiences I have ever had.

I love the boutique feel in the front lobby.

I enjoy their old world ambiance.

I thoroughly enjoyed their Swiss showers.

This place is 5 stars and beyond.

(I recommend coming in the evening so you don't have to worry about your meter expiring while in service-they don't have a parking lot)

Not your typical spa experience. I regulary go for facials (one a month) and after receiving a gift card to Spa Velia I thought I would try it out. The facilities were nice although a little tight and contained for me. I love spa's that have the open air about them and while it was somewhat relaxing, Spa Velia was a little too crammed for my style.

I made an appointment for what I thought was a normal facial. It started out fine. Washing, extractions etc. After that, my therapist informed me she was going to put a mask on my face and informed me it may tingle. Um...it did everything but that! It BURNED!!! It burned to a point that I felt like my skin was falling off. I told her it was burning and she started fanning my face with her hands????

I am in my mid-20s and have always taken good care of my skin, so there wasn't a reason for something to hurt so much. I should have gone with my first instinct and booked a massage!!!

Voted #1 for Good Reason. I was experiencing a few problems with my skin. The cohabitation of pimples and wrinkles was extremely frustrating. The estheticians at Spa Velia were very professional and gave me sound advice and guidance. After just two facials my skin is showing great progress. No more breakouts and my laugh lines are less pronounced.

I can't comment on any other service as I haven't had any.

Best Massage in San Diego. Meiko is the best! The staff is very friendly. If you are looking for a great massage, you need to go and see Meiko.
