Insider’s Tip: Guests really do come for the tranquility of the Winvian Spa. Peace and quiet.

Winvian Farm Spa offers 5,000 square feet of relaxation, tranquility, and pampering.

Insider’s Favorite: For massages, definitely the Hot Stone Massage! Smooth heated basalt stones are placed along the body’s meridians and used throughout the massage to relieve tension and stress.

For facials, the Vitamin C25. This multi-corrective anti-aging treatment features three skin-brightening steps: deep exfoliation; 25% vitamin C ampoule; and skin-clarifying, freshly prepared modeling mask. The actives of these key steps work in synergy to rejuvenate skin. Skin looks and feels younger with renewed radiance and density. Face, neck, shoulder, and hand massage are included in this facial.

The spa’s 40-foot swimming pool sits discreetly in a green meadow near the lush gardens.

Splurge Treatment: Any treatment with the hydrotherapy tub incorporated. Wonderful!

The spa’s menu includes a range of restorative treatments and therapies that are designed to pamper and rejuvenate.

Unique Treatment: The Walk in the Forest. It is a body treatment that was designed just for the Winvian Spa! It features Yon-Ka’s products using the oxygenating and energy-boosting freshness of the iconic essential oils of France’s forest-rich landscape including cedar and cypress. A toning, aromatherapeutic full-body treatment that adds Chinese bamboo sticks for enhanced toning and sculpting benefits.

With an emphasis on the lower body, the bamboo perfectly follows the contours of the legs and lifts the gluteal muscles. These specialized techniques are both vibrational and gentle, bringing lightness and energy to the large muscles of the body for an experience that transports you to oxygen-rich forests and the healing forces of nature.

Guests can also enjoy private yoga and fitness classes in the beautiful state-of-the-art facilities.

Featured Products: Yon-Ka skin care and body care from France are our Spa’s signature products which are known for their quintessence of lavender, geranium, cypress, thyme, and rosemary.
