Why You’ll Love It: I believe it’s the thought and care put into the small details in our services. From beautiful sensory inhalations that give our guests permission to let go and take time for themselves, to the sound therapy that begins and ends your experience that supports a balanced nervous system and enhances relaxation, our spa experience is full of thoughtful special touches.

The spa provides holistic, therapeutic practices and products made to alleviate and rejuvenate.

Key Features: We offer 10 treatment rooms including two couples’ rooms, a serene relaxation lounge, women’s dressing area with dry sauna, men’s dressing area with sauna and steam room, and a spa boutique. Guests can also enjoy our salt water mineral pool, jacuzzi, and outside lounge area to soak up the sun.

The hotel’s fitness center offers state-of-the-art equipment including Peloton bikes and Stairmasters for guests to use.

Snacks Served: We feature Art of Tea, fresh fruit, house made granola bars, and mixed nuts seasoned with rosemary, sea salt, and olive oil.

Insider’s Tip: I always say to inquire about the spa’s amenities. I love when guests are able to experience the spa’s space and truly enhance their time with us. This ultimately extends time at the spa and provides guests more time to unplug and recharge.

Bonus: Guests receive a complementary glass of sparkling wine to enjoy before or after their service.

Guests can spend time in the serene relaxation lounge before and after their services.

Splurge Treatment: Our Radiance Facial! We combine both of our most popular services into one luxury results-driven facial. Hydrafacial + Intraceuticals, resurfacing, skin-quenching hydration, and lymphatic drainage? Yes please!

Art of Tea and various healthy snacks are served to guests during their spa visit.

Unique Treatment: I enjoy our Balance Massage Treatment. We use Rahua—an amazing hair and scalp treatment that hydrates and nourishes your hair—while you enjoy a scalp, neck, and shoulder massage and foot reflexology to rebalance and relieve tension throughout the whole body.

The spa has multiple private treatment rooms including two couples’ rooms.

Insider’s Favorite: Our new 80-minute Nourish Facial which uses Linne, a local plant-based medicine skin care line that we recently partnered with. We incorporate a rose quartz gua sha and techniques to help with puffiness and drainage, resulting in a beautiful glow inside and out.
