How Westgate Park City Resort’s Serenity Spa Embraces Global While Emphasizing Local

Serenity Spa is an award-winning luxury spa at Westgate Park City Resort & Spa in Park City, Utah.

For decades, Park City has been in the international spotlight thanks to the enduring popularity of winter sports and independent films. Although the Sundance Film Festival, the mid-winter cultural gathering of screenings and star gazing (of the celebrity variety), is shifting to Colorado in 2027, the 2034 Winter Olympic Games are coming — and bringing new top-tier luxury hotels ahead of it.

Some may argue that Park City is coming back to its first loves — winter sports and wellness—now that the air has been cleared. However, one spa in particular — Serenity Spa at Westgate Park City Resort — is worth checking out now as it wears its Park City roots proudly and aesthetically. It successfully balances elegance and luxury treatments with a down-to-earth friendliness emanating from the staff that has helped them get and keep a local fanbase.

Spa Review: Serenity Spa at Westgate Park City Resort & Spa

While celebrities and world-class athletes may be drawn to the latest and greatest among the spas and retreats at international branded and boutique hotels, Serenity Spa keeps things real by being particularly selective of their products while offering full-on customized experiences for any client coming through the door with specific wants and needs.

We caught up with the spa director and team behind the scenes at Serenity Spa to learn more about whata inspires their home-grown appeal, hands-on attention to detail, original face and body skincare treatments and packages, and overarching philosophy.

Since 2017, Serenity Spa has earned the prestigious Best of State Award for “Best Destination Spa.”

Spa Exclusives: We strive to meet every need a guest may have. When guests arrive at the spa, we offer an in-depth tour of the spa, provide a plush spa robe and sandals. In each of our lounges we provide complimentary tea and snacks, our locker rooms offer makeup wipes, combs, brushes, hairspray, deodorant, and razors. We have hot tools for hair that guests can use during their visit as well.

Our spa also features a fully-equipped, serene yoga studio that hosts classes for all levels of participants. Guests who have services with us also have access to the three pools on property and our fitness center as well.

Group and individual fitness workouts are available year-round at the yoga studio.

Insider Tips: For the most rejuvenating spa experience, using our amenities in a specific sequence may help transform the overall visit to a complete day of restoration. We recommend arriving an hour and a half before the start time of your treatment, starting with an unhurried orientation of the spa, getting acquainted with the layout, and changing into the plush robe and spa sandals we provide.

Next, we recommend that you start your spa day by spending time in the dry cedar sauna or the eucalyptus steam room. Gentle heat helps warm the body, ease tension, improve circulation, and prepare both the muscles and mind for deep relaxation.

Guests receiving a facial may especially enjoy the steam room, as the warm steam helps soften and open the pores, allowing skincare treatments to be more effective. Next, guests can immerse themselves in our hydrotherapy whirlpool and waterfall.

The spa recommends arriving up to an hour and a half before one’s treatment to enjoy all of the amenities.

Splurge Treatments: The standout recommendation we would recommend is the Signature Serenity 4-Handed Massage.. This service, designed to showcase our spa’s highest level of personalized care and expertise, combines two massage therapists working in harmony for a synchronized treatment that delivers six enhancements in a single service. It is worth the splurge because it is like experiencing double the body work at once, having two therapists focusing their attention on your body in an 80-minute service.

For guests gravitating towards straight-forward skincare, we recommend the Renew & Glow Dermaplaning Facial. This treatment is designed to instantly reveal smoother, brighter, and more radiant skin. Using a sterile blade, your esthetician gently removes the outermost layer of dull, dead skin cells along with fine facial hair leaving the complexion soft and luminous. There is a combination of complimentary masks applied to help promote circulation to the skin and aid in product penetration.

The spa has 14 treatment room and offers a wide range of massages, facials, and body treatments.

Unique Treatment: One of Serenity Spa’s most unique treatments is the Chakra Healing Ritual Massage. The 80-minute treatment is designed to promote relaxation, energetic balance, and overall well-being. It includes a customized full-body massage tailored to our guest’s needs, medical-grade essential oils applied down the spine, chakra-balancing crystals placed on the body’s energy centers, and sound bowl therapy with bowls placed on and around the body to create resonate vibrations intended to harmonize the chakras and encourage deep relaxation.

Insider’s Favorite Treatment: My favorite treatment offered at Serenity Spa is the Tranquil Hot Oil Massage. This is one of our signature relaxation treatments and it provides a full-body massage featuring warmed oil drizzled down the body to enhance relaxation and help muscles release tension, followed by hot stones and a weighted blanket to aid in reducing anxiety and stress and give our guests a sense of safety and peace. To complete the service, the warmed oil is drizzled through the scalp and expertly massaged in creating a head-to-toe sensory experience.

Guests can also book a couple’s soak for two in a private couple’s suite as an individual or add-on service.

Featured Products: We feature EmerginC and Glymed facial skincare in our retail area and use it in our facials. EmerginC is professional spa-focused skincare promoting environmental programs such as tree planting and ocean-plastic prevention efforts. The company emphasizes vegan options, organic ingredients where possible, and sustainable packaging initiatives.

Glymed, popular among estheticians and med-spa professionals for more than 30 years, focuses on results-oriented skincare combining active ingredients (acids, peptides, antioxidants, retinoids) with botanical extracts addressing concerns such as acne, hyperpigmentation, aging, rosacea, and barrier repair.

For body-focused skincare, we carry Acrely Farms, an independent woman-owned wellness and skincare company founded locally in Utah. Serenity Spa was the second spa ever to bring on their products emphasizing organic, hemp-derived CBD, and botanical small-batch production.

We also stock Essence One, a company whose mission is centered on mental wellness, stress reduction, and self-care through essential-oil-based products. They offer 100% pure essential oils, natural ingredients, cruelty-free formulations, vegan products, mental health advocacy and charitable partnerships, and products designed to promote calm, sleep, focus, and stress relief.

The spa’s expansive retail area carries a wide variety of skincare, beauty, and wellness offerings.
