Juniper Spa at Juniper Preserve offers guests a place to relax and rejuvenate after their outdoor activities and adventures, offering treatments rooted in ancient traditions that include natural products featuring ingredients from forage local plants. The spa is also inspired by wellness practices from Ayurvedic, Japanese, Nordic, and Western cultures.

We chatted with Maddison Stephens, Juniper Preserve’s Director of Wellness, to learn more about treatments to try, insider tips, and more.

Juniper Lodge has 89 guest rooms and suites that are artistically inspired by the natural landscapes.

Why You’ll Love It: Our highly skilled and passionate massage and skin therapists are truly the standout of Juniper Spa. Guests love the high-quality treatments performed by our therapists and the most common thing we hear after a guest completes a treatments is: “That was the best massage (or facial) of my life.”

Guest suites include open and bright lounge areas with soft seating, wood furnishings, and modern and clean architecture with soft organic layers.

Key Features:

We offer teas and snack in Vana, which is a peaceful room to relax in before or after spa treatments.
Spa guests also have access to additional wellness spaces like Juniper Preserve’s tipi, lava cave, and labyrinth. These spaces can be booked through the spa and are integrated into the resort’s greater wellness programming.
Spa guests can also access the adults-only pool at Juniper Preserve after their treatment.

Guests are connected to the outdoors with private outdoor terraces and expansive glass windows.

Insider’s Tip: Add a scalp and hair treatment to any treatment for a luxurious immersion for an often overlooked area of the body.

Throughout the property, one can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding forest and bordering mountains.

Bonus: Guests can enjoy a selection of teas, dried fruit, and nuts in Vana while they cozy up to the in-room fireplace.

Guests can enjoy a wide range of outdoor activities including horseback riding.

Splurge Treatment: I highly recommend our Juniper Spa Experience for an immersive experience of Juniper Spa treatments to nurture and nourish your face, body, and skin. This experience includes our signature Desert Therapeutic Massage, a customized Lumination Facial, and for the whole body our Truly Radiant Body Glow.

Juniper Spa at Juniper Preserve provides a tranquil setting for relaxation.

Unique treatment: Our most unique treatment would be our Transcendental Breathwork, which is offered as part of our touch-free treatments for guests who crave the spa experience but for their own reasons would prefer a fully clothed therapeutic treatment.

Breathwork is deeply experiential and therapeutic from the very first session. The experience brings you into greater alignment in body, mind, and spirit leading to massively positive shifts in life.

In this session your guide will lead you through the technique along with demystifying some of the ways in which breathwork works to relieve stress, reduce anxiety, boost overall happiness, and generally improve mindset. There is an active breathwork segment followed by a deep connection building meditation to reconnect and align your physical self with your energetic body.

The spa’s menu features a variety of services including massages, facials, and body treatments.

Insider’s Favorite: I personally love the stimulation of glow treatments and feeling so super silky smooth after visiting the spa. Our Truly Radiant Body Glow is my go-to for these reasons. Anything scrubby that includes a body butter finish and I’m in!

Juniper Preserve also has many wellness offerings including retreats, workshops, a lava cave, and more.

Featured Products: We are proud of our selection of products in the spa. We have Eminence Organic Skin Care, which is fully organic and all of us in the spa use so many of their products daily. It’s such a treat! We also carry Vital Body CBD and Reunion CBD. We are passionate about the story behind each of these Oregon-based companies and we feel good offering these intentionally produced products to our guests.
