For the entire month of April, The Oaks at Ojai gives homage to the Pixie tangerine, the very special, sweet, seedless, easy-to-peel orange orbs that are special to only Ojai Valley, California.
Pixie tangerines have become as celebrated as the quaint town’s “Pink Moment” and The Oaks at Ojai embraces the tangerine for the month of April 2016 with spa-wide Pixie-infused offerings, sights and scents, culinary, spa treatments and packages.
The moment a guest arrives, there will be the unmistakable “scents” that something is different. Staff dressed in tangerine colored t-shirts and a bowl overflowing with Pixies in the lobby welcome guests to The Oaks.
Pixie infused water will be served in the Libbey Lounge throughout the month and baskets of Pixies throughout the property. In fact, in 2015, Oaks guests devoured more than 7,000 pixies during Pixie month!
Other Pixie offerings include:
- Pixie tangerine seasonal scrub is a full body scrub utilizing tangerine essential oils along with fresh tangerines being squeezed into products table-side. A tangerine scrub exfoliates and the tangerine body lotion hydrates the skin. Guests leave with a Pixie to go
