For those seeking unparalleled luxury and outdoor adventures, The Preserve Sporting Club & Residences in Rhode Island offers everything guests need in order to enjoy a memorable stay. From activities ranging from fly fishing and horseback riding to hiking trails and dining in a magical Maker’s Mark Hobbit House, The Preserve is an idyllic getaway with access to 3,500 acres of nature and scenery.

The property offers a variety of luxurious accommodations including Hilltop Lodge suites, cozy cabins and even glamping, as well as private residences available for purchase for those looking to spend more time at The Preserve. It is also home to OH! Spa at The Preserve Sporting Club & Residences, a luxury wellness sanctuary that is inspired by the Northeastern wilderness and its mountains, forests, fields and gardens.

The Spa’s menu features treatments and packages that blend ultra-modern equipment and product with ancient and profound methods, and The Preserve also has a medical spa, Oceanside Medical and Esthetics, which is connected to OH! Spa.

We interviewed Clinton Cox, Spa Director at The Preserve Sporting Club & Residences, to learn more about treatments to try, insider tips, and more.

Why You’ll Love It: Guests love the high-quality treatments we offer along with the hospitality, privacy and the feel of intimacy when at the OH! Spa at The Preserve. Guests also really love how rich in amenities the spa is, including the hydrotherapy circulatory system as well as the array of medical spa treatment options, all under one roof.

Key Features: We have a total of eight treatment rooms with a couples’ suite which has a private steam room, sauna, shower and restroom all within the suite. We also have a steam room, sauna and whirlpool in each men's and women's locker room. The co-ed area of the spa features two large whirlpools along with a cold plunge and an outdoor heated infinity pool.

OH! Spa also provides full food and beverage options, allowing guests to dine in their robes comfortably in the Lily Pad, also located in the spa. The Preserve also has a medical spa, Oceanside Medical and Esthetics, which is connected to OH! Spa. The menu touts an array of services such as IV infusions, Botox, micro-needling facials, and body contouring services such as the emsculpt and Trimlaze.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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