Open in October 2003, owner Suzanne Gore drew on her own longtime beliefs and knowledge in holistic and alternative medicine to create a true day spa experience in Santa Barbara. She wanted the spa to have an Asian feel, but not exclude Western treatments as they are also beneficial to health and well being.

The name Avia has a very personal meaning to Suzanne, as it is a combination of her daughter's names, Ava and Viva.

Today, Avia Spa remains the largest day spa in Santa Barbara and is proud to offer all of our guests an Experience In Paradise.

Voted Best Day Spa in Santa Barbara every year since 2003.
