The spa at the Paseo Club vs The Ivy Day Spa: A head-to-head comparison

October 2nd, 2024 | 4 min. read

By Paseo Club Team

How often do you look out the office window and dream of Paris? The Bahamas? Hawaii?

Vacations are great — but only when you can afford them. And get time off from work, arrange the childcare, the dogsitter, and everything else. 

Spas are the closest we have to a vacation without traveling more than a few miles. They help us unwind, relax, rejuvenate, and take (a much-needed) break from the daily grind. 

The Paseo Club is a social club in the Santa Clarita Valley that offers fitness, Pilates, swimming, tennis, and pickleball facilities. There is also an on-site spa for both club members and nonmembers. 

The spa at the Paseo Club is only one of the options in the Santa Clarita Valley. As much as we want you to be a customer of our spa, your satisfaction is the most important thing. 

In this article, we place two spas side-by-side so you can learn about each option and decide which spa is best for you.
