Insider’s Tip: It's important to take care of your body, not only the exterior but also from within. Here at OH! Spa at the Preserve we have the option to add an IV infusion to any hair or nail service and get the IV drip while at a pedicure or hair appointment. For guests feeling the after-effects of a night out, need a boost to the immune system or fighting lethargy, we can add this service to any nail or hair treatment. A “Maritime Myers Cocktail” includes B vitamins, vitamin C, selenium, calcium, and magnesium—the best remedy for a quick recovery.

The spa’s design is inspired by the Northeastern wilderness and its mountains, forests, fields and gardens.

Bonus: We offer a complimentary glass of champagne to each guest receiving a treatment. We also offer a decadent dessert to couples upon the completion of their couples massage which is a surprise and always wows the guest.

Snacks Served: OH! Spa offers lemon water, cucumber water, a variety of juices (orange, cranberry, V8, pineapple), a variety of different teas as well as warm apple cider. To snack on, we offer two options of trail mix, dried papaya spears and granola. In addition, we have a full-service food and beverage area called “Lily Pad,” where guests can dine on the full menu in their robes before or after their service. 

Guests also enjoy use of the spa’s steam room, sauna and whirlpool the men's and women's locker rooms.

Splurge Treatment: The Couples’ Retreat is a luxurious splurge treatment that occurs in, of course, the couples’ suite. This service can be done with a loved one or with a friend who would like a retreat experience. The treatment starts with a relaxing whirlpool bath followed by a full-body sugar scrub. Then rinse off in our steam and rain shower while the therapists prepare for your relaxing 90-minute custom massage, leaving each guest feeling relaxed and renewed. This is a three-hour experience and is priced at $900 per duo.

The co-ed area of the spa features two large whirlpools along with a cold plunge and an outdoor heated infinity pool.

Unique Treatment: The most unique treatment currently is the Forest Grounding Ritual. It's a three-hour experience. Transport into the sensorial healing experience of a forest, incorporating our latest evergreen blend. Inspired by the ancient Japanese art of Shinrin Yoku, Japanese for "bathing in a forest." This therapeutic experience is done in the private OH! Spa suite. Guests will begin and end the experience in a private steam shower and cedar wood sauna. While in the sauna the therapist will draw a forest bath and use The Preserve’s signature blend of forest bath oil.

After a 20-minute soak, guests will enjoy a warm sugar body scrub infused with 22 essential oils used to exfoliate the skin and a warm body butter infused with essential oil is applied to the body. Guests are then wrapped in warm blankets to allow the body butter to melt into the skin. The final step in the ritual is a full-body custom massage.

The spa offers relaxing treatments and services that can be enjoyed during the day and at night.

Insider’s Favorite: My favorite treatment is the Supreme Youth Pionniere XMF treatment, which offers a remarkable skin care experience. This treatment features three formulas with exceptional youth properties. The skin is plumped, firmer and smoothed, wrinkles are reduced, and overall radiance is boosted after only one treatment. This treatment reveals the full potential of high-quality, natural formulas that transform the skin offering infinite pleasure and exceptional youth-restoring results. This is my favorite treatment because of how fast I can see the wrinkles disappearing. Instant results.

Spa treatments blend ultra-modern equipment and product with ancient and profound methods.

Featured Products: Olaplex, Phytomer, KNESKO, Lost Range, Farmhouse Fresh, L’duex, and Molton Brown.
