Coeur d'Alene is a city in northwest Idaho that is known for its water sports on the lake, hiking trails, beautiful scenery, and a top-rated luxury resort, The Coeur d'Alene Resort. With lakeside accommodations, award-winning golf, outdoor adventures, water activities, and one of the top resort spas in the United States, there is always something new and exciting for guests to experience.

The Coeur d'Alene Resort Spa is a 30,000-square-foot luxury wellness sanctuary with 21 treatment rooms and a meditation lounge that offers stunning lake views. Spa guests are invited to enjoy a relaxing wellness journey surrounded by northwest cedar, stone, and water while enjoying the soothing sounds of cascading water that blend with calming aromas.

Additional amenities include a fitness center, a junior-Olympic indoor pool, two Jacuzzi tubs, infrared saunas, a salon, spa cuisine, and more. We chatted with Berni Campbell, Spa Director at The Coeur d'Alene Resort Spa, to learn more about treatments to try, insider tips, and more.

Why You’ll Love It: What differentiates our spa from the other spas in our area is our location: we are nestled right on the edge of beautiful Lake Coeur d’Alene. With unmatched lake views at every turn, our Spa guests are able to experience a serene oasis where tranquility meets nature’s beauty.

Our spa interior is seamlessly designed to blend with the outdoors: with earthy tones and natural materials that mirror the lakeside environment. Our massage treatment rooms are strategically positioned to allow guests to enjoy the view while indulging in their therapies.

Key Features: Our facilities boast the most incredible amenities in all of the Pacific Northwest—not only does our Meditation Room offer unmatched lake views, but spa guests also receive the following with their appointment:

   • Complimentary access to our indoor pool and jacuzzis

   • Courtesy access to our state-of-the-art fitness center

   • Female-only and male-only locker rooms (with showers) and private quiet rooms

   • Luxurious infrared dry sauna

   • Complimentary valet parking

Insider’s Tip: Our best insider tip is to always check out our seasonal spa specials that we offer. Inspired by local weather and seasonal ingredients, our rotating spa specials are ever-changing based on the latest happenings here in Coeur d'Alene. Experience our best services at our best prices!

Bonus: Guests are always happily surprised to find out that we have introduced all-new infrared saunas to both our men’s locker room and women’s locker room. Infrared saunas offer a unique set of benefits due to their use of infrared radiation to generate heat. These benefits include deep relaxation through the gentle and penetrating warmth, potential detoxification as the heat encourages sweating and release of toxins, and improved circulation, which may aid in better nutrient delivery and muscle recovery.

Snacks Served: We offer complimentary trail mix and fruit-infused water at our spa. Guests also have the option to purchase small bites (prawn cocktail, poke nachos, hummus, charcuterie, fruit, and cheese) or entrees (grilled chicken Cobb salad, Caesar salad, turkey club wrap, Hawaiian ahi tuna, Beyond Burger)— crafted by the talented culinary team at Beverly’s Restaurant.

All food can be enjoyed in our Spa Bistro Lounge. Guests are also able to purchase a variety of sips, including wine, champagne, martinis and cocktails—handcrafted by our master mixologists at Whispers Lounge.

Splurge Treatment: Our Northwest Dream experience is undoubtedly our most luxurious “splurge” treatment. This incredible 6-hour package features a Natural Elements Shower, a Full-Body Scrub, a Swedish Massage, an Organic Facial, a Manicure and Pedicure, and, of course, lunch. This unique package allows our Spa Guests to enjoy all aspects of our spa: the upstairs treatment areas, the downstairs salon area, as well as our hydrotherapy areas.

Unique treatment: Our most unique treatment is our “Rain Fusion” Experience, which was created uniquely here at Coeur d’Alene Resort Spa and crafted by one of our very own massage therapists. This pampering experience includes a scalp massage, full-body scrub, and a Waterfall Vichy Shower Massage (allow 75 minutes).

During a Vichy shower session, the spa guest lies down while warm water is gently cascaded over their body during their massage. This luxurious experience provides both physical and mental rejuvenation, as the water flow can help to soothe muscles, improve circulation, and induce a sense of tranquility.

Our therapists utilize Turkish bath salts for the scrub along with Yuzu Solid Body Oil for the massage. This service is perfect for those who tend to have a hard time unplugging—the consistent sound of the “rain” from the shower is beyond relaxing and truly puts the mind at ease.

Insider’s Favorite: Our “Mountain Mineral Kur Experience” is easily my favorite treatment at our lakeside spa. "Kur" is derived from Europe—meaning a water circuit. Our Kur Experiences offers an unforgettable hydrotherapy treatment. One of our most popular treatments, the Mountain Mineral Kur Experience, combines a mineral soak, moor mud wrap, and a Swedish Massage.

Moor mud is rich in organic substances, minerals, and trace elements that can help draw out impurities and toxins from the skin. The sensory experience of being enveloped in warm mud during treatments can promote relaxation and reduce stress; the earthy aroma and the tactile sensation of the mud can have a calming effect on the mind.

Featured Products: We proudly feature Eminence Organic Skin Care in our aesthetic division, Kerstin Florian in our massage division, as well as OPI in our nails division. We also offer a signature resort scent, Spruce & Cedar, that we utilize throughout various services—and guests are able to purchase this signature scent in our spa lobby gift shop (in the form of body oil, bath salts, and lotion).
