Woodhouse Spa at Maple Grove is a place where everyone knows your name, an oasis of luxury in a growing section of Minneapolis.

The destination is a day spa that is committed to luxury, a place where guests can enter and leave behind all the stress and furor of the world’s demands. Highly trained staff greet each person by name, lockers bear friendly plaques with the names of the guest chalked on them and everything is done to make people feel welcome.

Their signature aroma wafts through the spa, enveloping guests as they traverse the hallway or rest in the Quiet Room. From the smallest of touches to the most intense and relaxing of services, everything is designed to meet guests where they are and to usher them into a state of wellbeing.

We recently spoke with Spa Owner Amy Adams about Woodhouse Spa at Maple Grove.

Why You’ll Love It: Our guests love the unparalleled luxury and relaxation they feel when they walk through the door. Guests can select from a wide array of treatments customizable to their needs from facials and massages to rituals and manicures, Woodhouse Spa at Maple Grove curates and crafts joyful moments and moods for guests to immerse themselves in. 

Key Features: The spa offers a range of luxurious amenities designed to promote relaxation and rejuvenation. The massages provided at Woodhouse incorporate healing techniques to soothe the body and mind. Each massage session commences with a signature foot cleansing ritual and an essential oil treatment, ensuring a serene beginning to the therapeutic journey. In addition to this, exclusive body treatments are available to revitalize your skin and provide a full-body therapeutic experience unique to Woodhouse. Pampering facials using lavish skincare techniques are also available, leaving guests feeling refreshed, toned, and radiant from within. By indulging in these rituals, guests can fully enjoy a transformative experience that nurtures both their mental and physical well-being.

Snacks Served: We offer our guests a variety of beverage options including infused waters and loose-leaf teas. Light snack options are available as well.

Insider’s Tip: We always recommend our guests arrive 30 minutes early to their appointment so they have time to relax in the Quiet Room before their first treatment. Additionally, we offer a range of massage and facial enhancements that can help to tailor your treatment to your specific needs for your body or skin.

Bonus: Upon entering the spa, guests are greeted with a delightful array of amenities to enhance their experience. Plush robes and reflexology sandals await, ensuring comfort and relaxation throughout their visit. The spa further pampers guests with exfoliation and hydration treatments, complemented by a selection of loose-leaf teas and snacks to indulge in. For those seeking a moment of serenity before or after their scheduled treatments, the Quiet Room provides a tranquil sanctuary. A beautiful fireplace serves as the focal point, while calming music fills the air, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

Splurge Treatment: I recommend the Four-Handed Massage. This service features two therapists who apply choreographed, rhythmic movements to induce deep relaxation and a full-body massage, reflexology, and a hypnotic scalp massage with aromatic oils to soothe the senses and nourish the skin for ultimate relaxation and well-being. 

Unique Treatment: One of the unique treatments we offer is the Black Sand Rejuvenation, where black sand and pumice stone combine for an invigorating full-body exfoliation that includes nourishing sea minerals. Additionally, the Meditative Mood Soak allows guests to select their mood-enhancing aromatherapy oil to guide a full body therapy, complete with dry brushing, sensory sea mineral enriched bath, and a Body Balance Massage.

Wellness Offerings: While all of our treatments have wellness in mind, one of my favorite rituals that we offer is the Renewal Bath, a self-care experience that offers guests an opportunity to balance their minds and body. Their solitude in a bath soak with our blend of essential oils will leave guests feeling restored and balanced.
