The Healing Waters of Glen Ivy

Two Southern California locations share the spirit of the healing waters that were home to Native Americans and Spaniards who gathered to absorb its unique magic and energy. Smaller than the original 11-acre retreat, Glen Ivy Hot Springs Spa in Corona, the day spas at Brea and Valencia provide contemplative escape with services and products that rejuvenate the soul of every person who walks through the door. Restorative qualities of their signature aromatherapy massages incorporate the healing scents of orange blossoms, eucalyptus, lavender and sage, while their unique body treatments are therapies that cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize, soothing the body, mind and soul.

Perhaps that’s why these day spas have garnered several major awards including “Distinguished Day Spa of the Year” from The Day Spa Association, “Best Day Spa” from the American Spa Magazine and “Best Day Spa in Orange County” from the OC Register. So when you think natural, think relaxation, think rejuvenation - think Glen Ivy complete with a plush spa bathrobe from Robeworks. You deserve it.

It's All in the Details!

Bring the luxury of a world class spa to your own home. Robeworks robes are found in the finest spas, hotels, and resorts around the world. Why not in the most important place in the world: right where you live?

Traditional Styles located in Ontario, Canada had a great idea. They asked us to create custom bathrobes specifically for their client's newly built home. Robeworks' art department created a special logo to add that extra personalized touch to turn their home into a private sanctuary. As Traditional Styles says, " There is no such thing as a “small” detail [in custom home building] – every detail is equally important" and we couldn't agree more!

With over twenty unique color combinations and an in-house art/embroidery department the potential for personalization is limitless.

"rec'd the robes - they are fabulous! The M***s are sure to be thrilled! We will definitely keep you in mind for future client gifts~ great quality product & fantastic customer service."
