We interviewed Thor Holm, Spa Director at Grand Geneva Resort & Spa, who shared insider tips, recommended treatments to try, and more.

The expansive property is situated on 1,300 acres and includes two championship golf courses, ski hills, restaurants and the largest meeting space in the area.

Why You’ll Love It: Our people. I know that sounds cliché but it is also quite true. We have a number of associates that have been with us in excess of 20 years. Their passion and dedication to what they do shows and creates a memorable experience for our guests.

The AAA Four Diamond Wisconsin Resort is also home to an award-winning spa, WELL Spa + Salon.

Key Features: The Well Spa has a large Sports Center with two indoor tennis courts, basketball court, 35-foot rock climbing wall with 10 auto belays, fitness center featuring TechnoGym, Cybex and Precor equipment; fitness studio with classes ranging from spin, pilates, yoga and managed by TPI Certified Coach Josh Doyle. We have a Junior Olympic indoor pool that hosts aquatic fitness classes and lap swimming. 

The dressing areas in the Spa each have a six-person whirlpool, sauna and steam room with digital lockers and fully stocked vanities. The dressing areas also have quiet areas to rest prior to an appointment if you prefer a gender specific rest environment. The relaxation room is geared towards groups and is where lunch is served to those guest that order while here at the Spa. The tranquility room is right off the treatment rooms and has a fully-appointed snack and beverage area. 

The Spa has 20 treatment spaces with two of those being couples treatment rooms. The Spa also is home to a Salon with eight pedicure stations, six manicure stations, four hair stations, and a professional makeup space. 

WELL Spa + Salon offers a wide array of spa and salon services in a relaxing environment, and is a great place for group gatherings and special events like bachelorettes and birthdays.

Snacks Served: We have a savory snack mix and a sweet granola available in the relaxation and tranquility areas. We also keep on hand chocolate-covered strawberries for special occasions. There is a full Spa lunch menu available as well that can be served in the relaxation room. The Tranquility and Relaxation Areas also have a full complement of teas and coffee stations.

Insider’s Tip: Try to coordinate either a fitness class, tennis or pickle ball, workout or golf game prior to your service. Having a massage, facial or body service after a good workout always feels like I am getting more for my money. Don’t forget to spend time in the sauna prior to a massage. Your therapists do not have to spend time warming up your muscles and can get you an effective massage from the first touch.

Bonus: We offer complimentary mimosas with certain packages and a choice of wine and beer with some of our salon services.

Splurge Treatment: Our Hanakasumi Signature Treatment is a spectacular experience for the senses with incredible cherry and floral notes combined with a mild rice powder exfoliant, foot massage, and a shea butter finish that leaves your skin soft smooth and hydrated.

Unique Treatment: Our Blissful Baby Moon encourages moms-to-be to enjoy lying face down in a pillow system specifically designed for mothers to enjoy a massage and is done in a couples room so Dad can be with Mom.

Insider’s Favorite: My favorite treatment is our CBD Massage that utilizes a CBD massage cream from Kalyan Botanicals. This treatment brings 200mg of CBD and 20mg of CBG to each recipient. It has a grounding Palo Santo scent that soothes you, and the cream itself absorbs quickly and is extremely fast acting and effective for relieving sore muscles and inflammation.

The spa offers a rejuvenating experience filled with personal warmth, restorative treatments and positive energy. 

Featured Products: The Well Spa carries Sothys and SalCol, Kalyan Botanicals, Moroccan Oil, Dazzle Dry, Revitalash, and a full line of Lululemon clothing.
