Adagio Massage Co. & Spa

1300 Division St., Nashville, TN 37203; (615) 777-0602

If you’re itching to support somewhere with a rich history that preaches equality for everyone, we’ve got just the spot! Oh, and they just so happen to offer massages, facials, body treatments, couples’ services, waxing, tinting, and even group parties—so basically everything.  

Located just five minutes from bustling downtown, Adagio’s space was originally built in 1975 by Faron Young, one of the founding fathers of the Grand Ole Opry. It served as a “safe space” for songwriters and musicians, including Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Willie Nelson. It wasn’t until 2020 that the building was totally renovated, but you’ll still feel the essence of its history when you enter the modern peaceful space.

Mokara Spa at Omni Nashville Hotel

250 Rep. John Lewis Way South, Nashville, TN 37203; (615) 782-5300

With a location in the heart of downtown at the Omni Nashville Hotel, you can wrap up a day of sightseeing, shopping, wining, and dining with some much-needed R&R. Mokara Spa offers a Signature Indulgence service, in particular, that serves as a treat for the senses. A dry brush exfoliation kicks off the treatment, followed by a full-body hot stone massage with a blend of aromatherapy oils. Guests are wrapped to preserve hydration while extra massage time is spent on the neck, scalp, and feet.

While this is the spa’s signature treatment, insiders at the location say the facials are unlike anything you’ll get elsewhere. With the 75-minute signature facial, for example, estheticians customize products depending on what the skin needs at that moment—and the pros say there are no complaints.

Regardless your service of choice, there’s something for everyone. Whether you opt for a hang at the sunning pool or you lift some weights in the state-of-the-art fitness center, this spa should meet your needs. And for those staying at the hotel, the team makes it easy to sneak some wellness into your experience. Get Fit Kits are available at the front desk for in-room use. The handy collections include hand weights, exercise mat, and bands. We especially recommend this hotel for the fitness-forward guest.

The SPA at Southall

2200 Osage Loop, Franklin, TN 37064; (615) 282-2000

The SPA at Southall is about a 20-minute drive from Nashville proper, but it’s worth hopping in your car. Situated on a 325-acre farm—which serves as a resort and restorative wellness retreat—this unique-to-Nashville experience offers a gateway for individual healing and transformation while engaging the body, mind, heart, and soul.

The well-being oasis offers state-of-the-art amenities to activate all aspects of wellness through a full range of treatments and products inspired by the farm, and paired with Naturopathica and Seed to Skin products. The SPA features eight individual treatment rooms, two suites, and indulgent amenities that include a steam room, sauna, and relaxation lounge.
