Unwind At The Hyatt Regency Pacific Waters Spa

We all know that an apple a day can keep the doctor away. Turns out that fiber-rich fruit (and its vitamin-rich counterparts) can ward off stress and a range of skin woes, too. At Pacific Waters Spa in Southern California, pears, blueberries and other healthy snacks are cropping up in a slew of body treatments designed to promote health, beauty and overall well-being. The antioxidant properties of blueberry and soy combine for a slimming body wrap aimed at improving skin elasticity and firmness, while apples and pears team up in a nourishing body treatment meant to infuse skin with an irresistible glow. And the delicious scents of pineapple, papaya and starfruit add a stress-busting aromatherapy element to the spa's menu of body scrubs. Getting hungry? Drop by the on-site cafe for a post-treatment smoothie made from -- you guessed it -- fresh fruit!
