Ten Thousand Waves

Experience Japanese Tranquility at Ten Thousand Waves

Transport yourself to Japan with a visit to Ten Thousand Waves, a spa modeled after Japan's hot springs (or onsen). The sprawling spa features a variety of outdoor hot tubs, as well as saunas and cold plunge pools. In addition to hot tub soaks, visitors can also book facials and massages. The spa also includes a traditional Japanese restaurant and a lodge with 14 rooms.

Tips for Visiting

Reviewers frequently describe Ten Thousand Waves as "lovely," "relaxing," and "romantic." Many travelers recommend dining at the on-site Japanese restaurant, Izanami, either before or after your spa treatment—it has been praised for its delicious food. While all spa treatments include complimentary access to the Grand Bath, the largest pool available to lodging and massage guests, past visitors suggest booking one of the private hot tub suites. These suites offer a truly tranquil experience, especially for couples. Each suite varies but typically includes a Japanese soaking tub, a wet/dry sauna, a cold plunge pool, and private showers and bathrooms.

Price List

Private hot tub soaks start at $85 per person. For a more budget-friendly option, consider a Reserved Community Soaking session at $62 per person, which accommodates up to 10 people. Facials begin at approximately $170, and massages start at around $220. Hot tub sessions last for 90 minutes, massages for 80 minutes, and facials for 50 minutes.

Operating Hours

The spa operates daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The restaurant offers lunch Wednesday through Monday and serves dinner every night.
