Located in the beautiful Litchfield Hills of Connecticut, Winvian Farm is a historic 113-acre estate that offers visitors a unique luxury getaway unlike any other. In addition to a manor that dates back to 1775, the property also has 18 individually-designed resort cottages where guests can stay including a one-of-a-kind treehouse that is suspended 35 feet above the ground.

The New England retreat is also home to multiple dining options ranging from fire-lit 18th century dining rooms in Winvian Farm’s renowned Litchfield Hills restaurant to Maggie’s Tavern, which serves specialty dishes and cocktails featuring ingredients from the property’s garden. Fun activities available include complimentary bicycles for exploring the grounds, as well as access to winding paths and gardens for walks and hikes.

Guests can enjoy a relaxing experience at Winvian Farm Spa, a 5,000-square-foot sanctuary of tranquility and pampering with amenities that include a 40-foot swimming pool in a green meadow near the lush gardens. The spa menu offers an array of restorative treatments and therapies that are designed to rejuvenate and refresh, and guests can also enjoy private yoga and fitness classes in the beautiful state-of-the-art facilities.

We chatted with Lauren Beecher, Spa Experience Manager at Winvian Farm Spa, who shared insider tips, recommended treatments to try, and more.

Why You’ll Love It: The tranquility.

Key Features: The beautiful relation lounge with view of the outdoor fountain. Hydrotherapy tub, relaxing infrared sauna, and wonderful array of body and facial treatments. And two of our treatment rooms have wood burning fireplaces.

Bonus: Pots of tea are served after treatments in the relaxation room.

Snacks Served: Since Covid, we do not serve snacks or food products. The guests are invited to go to Maggie’s Tavern on the grounds. We do serve tea, coffee, champagne, wine, and sparkling water.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
