Many games are built around the senses. There’s the blind taste test – which food or drink tastes better when you don’t know the brand? There’s the challenge of identifying an object placed in your hand behind your back. And then there’s sound: Can you guess what it is just by hearing it? A great spa works the same way – it plays with your senses. The air is filled with calming scents like eucalyptus or citrus. Your face and shoulders are massaged with soothing oils and lotions. Good ingredients make for a good experience, and for good skin care. And if there’s one place that knows how to care for your skin while engaging every sense, it’s Spa on the Plaza, located across from the Portola Hotel.
