Unique Treatment: We recently introduced the Luxe Pedicure. It's a 60-minute treatment and facial for your feet. This service features DMV made, Skincando, and includes a CBD soak, Blue Lavender Gel Cleanser, Strawberry Sugar Scrub, Honey Mask, and Combat Ready Balm skin salve. This service focuses on restoration of callused, cracked, and dry feet.

Spa guests are served trail mix, dried fruit, fruit-infused water, and a variety of teas.

Splurge Treatment: If you're looking to fully embrace the spa experience, I recommend a 90-minute custom massage with heated stones and a foot exfoliating treatment. Heated stone massages increase blood flow and circulation allows the muscles to release tension, while the foot exfoliating treatment takes care of tired and sore feet. For an extra dose of pampering, add on a 50-minute custom facial with hydrating facial mask to rejuvenate fatigue and dull skin.

Guests can relax in the Oasis Lounge before and after their services while enjoying river views.

Insider’s Favorite: Our massage and facial treatments are fully customizable. Instead of choosing a service on a static menu, we allow you to connect with your service provider and create mutual goals that meet your needs.

The spa also has a nail bar and offers a variety of nail services.

Featured Products: Our signature product line is Privai, a results-driven and botanical based line made in the Asheville, NC.
