The Disneyland Resort announced Tenaya Stone Spa last month, and Mike was lucky enough to get a new look inside before it opens on September 16 at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa.
What’s Happening:
- The Disneyland Resort announced the Tenaya Stone Spa, designed by Walt Disney Imagineering, will be opening on September 16, 2021 at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa.
- During Mike’s visit, he was able to sample the hand massage offerings, finding it to be extremely relaxing. He was also able to chat with an attendant who was passionate about Disney-related topics like the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Disneyland Resort’s theme parks.
- The name Tenaya (pronounced ten-eye-a) can be interpreted as “to dream” in the indigenous culture of the Yosemite Valley.
- From the floor, to the ceilings, to the walls, you can see how the design is inspired by the spirit of nature and California heritage in the 6,000 square-foot facility, including the tree root chandelier.
- Instead of wood planks for the flooring, the team used wood rounds, allowing you to see the life of the tree and what is inside of it.
- The spa 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.
- Advance reservations are now available for Disneyland Resort hotel Guests, with reservations opening to non-hotel Guests at a later date.
- Guests can choose from various body treatments, massage, and salon services.

What They’re Saying:
- Brett Perkins, Tenaya Stone Spa director: “Tenaya Stone Spa’s distinctive setting and experience encourages relaxation, revitalization, and restoring balance. Our customized treatments are designed to be stress-relieving, pampering and purposeful, combining a blend of therapies and products.”
- Katrina Mosher, art director, Walt Disney Imagineering: “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. These bring balance and harmony to the mind, body and spirit. In developing the spa, we aspired to create a fresh take on the principles of the Arts & Crafts movement by honoring nature. We drew inspiration from the foundation of the hotel, literally in the stones, the earth, and the trees, and figuratively in the promise of a place to relax and to dream.”
