Four Moons Spa

Four Moons Spa sits on a private, sun-filled property just off N Vulcan Ave in Encinitas, roughly a mile from the ocean. Entry is through what the spa calls a pyramid portal, setting the tone for a space built around massage, facials and other body treatments rather than a quick drop-in gym-style spa. It's open seven days a week, 10am to 7pm.

The spa is adults-only and markets itself to couples as well as solo visitors. On-site amenities include a relaxation lounge, private treatment suites, and yoga or other movement offerings, so there's room to linger before or after a service rather than just coming and going. Price tier lands in the upscale range, consistent with a boutique day spa rather than a budget chain.

Access notes are mixed: the listing marks both walk-ins welcome and reservation required, so calling ahead or booking online is the safer bet, especially for weekend slots. Four Moons has picked up several San Diego Magazine Best of San Diego Readers' Pick awards, including Best Day Spa (2025 and 2026), Best Massage (2026), and Best Facial (2025), which is a reasonable signal of local reputation if that matters to your decision.

Beyond treatments, the spa also sells its own Evoke Collection of self-care products, sold on-site and through a retailer in Los Angeles, for anyone who wants to extend the ritual past the appointment.
