Disneyland Resort will open new Tenaya Stone Spa at Disney’s Californian Hotel & Spa on September 16, 2021. Advance reservations are now available for Disneyland Resort hotel guests. The spa will be open for non-hotel guests at a later date. The spa is located near GCH Craftsman Bar & Grill, just steps from the hotel’s entrance to Disney California Adventure park.
The spa name Tenaya can be interpreted ‘to dream’ in the indigenous culture of the Yosemite Valley. Tenaya Stone Spa embraces the concept of the natural order of four, found throughout many indigenous cultures of the world. There are four directions, four colors, four elements, four points of wellness.
The new 6,000 square-foot facility features eight treatment rooms, two for couples massage, four manicure/pedicure chairs, a relaxation lounge, men’s and women’s changing rooms, and a retail boutique.
Laid out according to the four directions of north, south, east, and west, and aligned with the four colors of white, red, black and yellow. There are several special touches such as wood flooring cut in rounds, a chandelier designed from a tree root, stained-glass doors and windows, rocks and minerals, and art pieces crafted by regional artisans.
Within the spa, Tenaya Stone, a focal point and a place to pause and set intentions. This intimate nature-themed arbor then leads to a softly sunlit relaxation room with a stained-glass window of a rising sun and a trickling water feature. The stone was a gift from a Miwok Elder and her family who are descendants of Chief Tenaya in Yosemite Valley.
Massage therapies include the customized Tenaya Signature Massage, and the Tenaya River Stone Massage that incorporates heated river stones to help soothe and relax the body. Guests may slip into nirvana with the Head, Hands & Feet With Heart Massage or unwind with their significant other with a side-by-side Tenaya Signature Couples Massage.
