Tandem Touch to Tantric Journey: The Best Couples Spas in Los Angeles

Tikkun in Santa Monica has a wide variety of treatments from medical massage to Korean salt scrubs, and a selection of mineral rooms for detoxing, most of which can be enjoyed together by a couple, but if you're looking for an intimate experience with your significant other, the Tikkun Couples Tantra Journey will teach you the art of massaging and reconnecting to each other to "ignite the sacred fire of intimacy," ending with a Tantric bathing ritual for two. The Journey can be booked as a single experience or a series of seven sessions. You can also choose a more standard couples massage. 

The Harmony Suite at the Peninsula Spa at the Peninsula Hotel Beverly Hills is a beautiful space to share a tandem massage. The spa itself is pretty intimate, and you wouldn't want to share the steam room with someone you weren't close to, but they offer a variety of other services in tandem.

Larchmont Sanctuary Spa in Larchmont Village, south of Hollywood, is consistently voted one of the top spas for couples treatments. It has indoor and outdoor spaces for two-person therapies available in a cottage or garden cabana setting. In addition to an array of massages, options for two include a couples champagne bath, detoxifying foot bath and more. Spa amenities include a relaxation room and a sauna.

Fancy a couple's massage with an ocean view? A drive down to the Spa at Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verde may be in order.

Add the romantic cliff-top restaurants and bars and you won't be able to resist spending the night.
