Spa Review: The Spa at Serenbe Is a Countryside Getaway Dedicated to Wellness and Relaxation
Serenbe is a neighborhood outside of Atlanta that is set among acres of preserved forests and meadows with a focus on well-being.
35 miles outside of Atlanta, there is an oasis hidden in Chattahoochee Hills: Serenbe. The 1,000-acre farm features an inn, multiple restaurants, a working farm, garden, and is a retreat in itself. With winding trails covered by trees, every trail and building on the property is aesthetically pleasing, especially The Spa at Serenbe.
The Inn at Serenbe offers an array of charming accommodations ranging from private rooms to cottages.
When I visited, the spa had just expanded from 8 to 12 treatment rooms and is now over 3,000 square feet in size. There is a new private couples lounge and treatment room, walk-in sauna, updated outdoor lounge space, and more.

After changing into my robe and slippers, I waited for my massage while sitting on a chaise in my private lounge room, which was neutral, calming, and felt relaxing enough on its own!
That was until my service began: the Four Hands Massage, which is a synchronized massage performed by two massage therapists mirroring each other, which truly offered the most relaxation.
I lounged in my own private relaxation room before my treatment.
This type of massage is not offered in many places, which is exactly why the Serenbe team chose to incorporate it into their spa menu. As a massage enthusiast, this was my first four-handed massage, but I hope it certainly isn’t my last.
The therapists were knowledgeable, accommodating, and extremely skilled. I was blown away by just how in sync they were in terms of pressure and movements.
Fresh infused water is available to guests at the spa.
Beyond the impressive spa services, the properties activities offered like horseback riding and goat yoga are also designed to help you rest your mind and relax. There is also a full gym and cycling studio on the property.
After a spa visit, the adults-only pool is the most serene option for guests who visit during the hot summers in Georgia. If you find yourself there when the pool is closed, there is plenty of porch space and seating near fire pits to cozy up next to, with a mocktail, glass of wine or a good book.
Everywhere you turn at Serenbe there is a beautiful nook to relax and take in nature. I can’t recommend it enough for a truly recharging trip.

My massage at the Spa was a total reset for my muscles, and my stay at Serenbe overall was a reset for my mind and senses.
Regardless if you’re planning a solo spa day, a girlfriends getaway, a trip with family, or a more romantic weekend away, Serenbe has you covered.
Throughout the spa there are beautiful nooks to relax in while enjoying scenic nature views.
