the décor. The staff to guest
ratio is 5:1 and it’s reflected in
the service. The special
requests I heard were
accommodated with a smile.
But don’t let me lead you to
believe it’s all primping and
pampering. Cal-a-Vie offers a
decent amount of fitness options
throughout the day. The morning
is about getting your heart
pumping with classes like belly
dancing, Barre camp, TRX, and
Piloxing. While the afternoon is
time to integrate body and mind
with offerings like chakra yoga,
stretch, tai-chi or
meditation. Some of these classes
are held in the cozy hillside chapel
that was shipped stone by stone
from Dijon, France and
painstakingly reassembled at Cala-Vie. Because of the small
number of guests, I end up having
many private fitness classes during
my stay. Each day begins with an
optional 6:30 am hike on the
mountains surrounding Cal-a-Vie.
The La Petite Plan (three-day stay)
I am on includes six spa
treatments; two massages, facial,
reflexology, hydrotherapy and a
scalp and hair service. Guests can
upgrade the basic services to
treatments like Thai massage,
craniosacral therapy or even
acupuncture. The masseuses
were especially good and willing
to tailor the massage to my
specific needs.
