The Main Course
Purifying Halotherapy Salt Cave Sessions (‘halo’ is the Greek word for salt) ease breathing by infusing the air with naturally antibacterial pure salt. The negatively charged, ionized salt particles, along with the 84 trace elements and minerals the salt contains, help to clear pollens, viruses, pollutants and toxins in the lungs and nasal passageways. Guests can recline in comfortable zero-gravity chairs while meditative sounds induce a sense of calm and wellness.
Splendid Sides
Salt’s therapeutic spa treatments – Swedish, Deep Tissue and invigorating Himalayan salt scrubs – are all enhanced by their signature aromatherapy scents. Skin-firming facials include mineral treatments, like the signature Green Tea Himalayan Salt Mask, which soothes, removes impurities, hydrates and re-balances pH and add-ons like microdermabrasion.
Salt to Go
All of Salt’s body, home and cooking products, hand-crafted in downtown Santa Barbara, utilize salt as a primary or secondary ingredient. The collection of retail goods, including lotions, facial masks, candles, room sprays, soap, imported Himalayan salt lamps, massage stones, cooking blocks and other healthy choices, inspires guests to season their everyday lives with this pure wonder of the Earth.
Celebration Reservations
Salt regularly hosts sound healing, yoga and specialized private events within their 1,200-square-foot crystal cave. Popular private bookings at this therapeutic oasis include bridal showers, special spa days, corporate events, weddings and charity fundraisers.
