Experience a Cleopatra-worthy 24k gold facial at the luxurious Willow Stream Spa at Fairmont Newport Beach, the area's newest luxury hotel. It's the only place (that we've heard of) in the OC that offers this skin treatment.

The Fairmont recently completed an extensive $32 million remodel of its guest rooms, public spaces, sky pool deck, fitness center and Willow Stream Spa.

OK, about that gold facial. In ancient times the sought-after precious metal was believed to hold healing properties and thought to maintain youthful skin. Now Willow Stream Spa re-introduces gold as a beauty treatment with its 24-karat gold facial. The skin rejuvenating treatment combines new skin care technologies, including an ultrasonic mist, to make your skin glow. The cost of the facial is $349.

The Willow Stream Spa also offers decadent treatment rooms with oversized spa beds. Their signature experiences include a "High Maintenance" treatment for short-on-time spa-goers who still want luxurious pampering. The 90-minute treatment includes a personalized facial, a manicure and reflexology pedicure.

Or try the energizing Crystal Clear treatment with the aroma of local botanicals like orange oil, lavender and sage during a full-body exfoliation, luxurious massage, and body wrap.

Open 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday; 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.

The Fairmont Newport Beach is located at 4500 MacArthur Blvd in Newport Beach 949.428.5799.
