Spa Profile: The Apothecary Spa
Between whale-watching and blackberry picking, The Apothecary Spa offers a refuge to the Pacific Northwest region of Washington with two locations: one in Anacortes on the second floor of The Majestic Inn and Spa and the second in the heart of Burlington.
The Apothecary Spa has offerings ranging for massages, facials and peels, body treatments, and more. Eucalyptus steam rooms, spa packages, treatment enhancement upgrades and membership opportunities are other benefits drawing both a loyal local clientele and eager hotel visitors through the doors.
The Burlington location is located within a Wellness Center with bulk herbal apothecary offering and a gift shop featuring local artisans. Inside the spa boasts salt room therapy, float pod services and energy treatments added to the service menu.
History has commonly referred to an ‘apothecary’ as a place where people go for medicine and cures for various ailments. Living up to the name and visual image, The Apothecary Spa is a haven housing plenty of jars of precious potions and treatments designed to ease the troubles of the mind and body. We caught up with Anna Holm, owner of The Apothecary Spa and Wild Valley Apothecary, who shared spa tips and insider information about these two locations.
Why You’ll Love It: Our team! The ambiance and our Sanctuary.
Key Features: Our quaint day spa features a eucalyptus steam room in each of the locker rooms. Enjoy gemstone-infused water or an in-house tea blend in our Sanctuary. You can also order glasses of wine and a light lunch from the 5th Street Bistro.
Snacks Served: Gemstone-infused water, house-blended tea, and various light snacks.
Bonus: Our signature services come with a hot stone arm and hand massage.
Insider’s Tip: Remember why you are at the spa. Take a few minutes, close your eyes, breathe deep and ground yourself. It helps shake off the day/week/year, and for the duration of your time at the spa, care about yourself and yourself alone. This is about ‘me time!’
Splurge Treatment: The HydraFacial.
Unique Treatment: The Stone Crop Contouring Body Wrap in Anacortes and the Float Tank in our Burlington location.
Insider’s Favorite: Facials are amazing! To me, it is the ultimate relaxation. You never realize how overworked your face and scalp muscles are until you are getting a facial massage. Getting a boost of powerhouse ingredients keeps me looking young and glowing.
Featured Products: We use Eminence Organic Skincare, LALICIOUS, FarmHouse Fresh, CBD Clinic and a local aromatherapist, Scents of Wellbeing.
