There’s nothing quite like a luxe mountain escape — and The Spa at The St. Regis Deer Valley in Park City, Utah, knows exactly how to do relaxation right.
As a busy mom, I recently snuck away for a cool-weather night with a couple of dear friends, and this ski-in sanctuary offered the perfect blend of indulgence, calm, and just the right amount of mountain magic.
The experience begins before you even step foot in the hotel. Guests ride the iconic funicular up to the lobby, soaking in sweeping panoramic views that instantly melt away everyday stress.
Our room felt like a cozy alpine retreat, complete with a glowing fireplace and beautiful slope-side views — the kind that makes you want to curl up with a warm drink and never leave.

We kicked off the day with breakfast at RIME, where fresh, healthy options and warm beverages set a nourishing (and delicious) tone for the spa day ahead.
While my girlfriends headed off to a morning yoga class, I made my way to the spa early — and I’m so glad I did.

Located on the second level of the resort, the spa feels like a peaceful hideaway tucked into the mountains. From the moment you walk in, soft lighting, natural textures, and gentle water sounds create an instant sense of calm.
The spa team recommends arriving around 9:30 a.m. to enjoy the amenities — and trust me, you’ll want to. Between the herbal steam room, dry heat sauna, and indoor jacuzzi, it’s easy to slip into full relaxation mode long before your first treatment even begins.

From the moment I arrived at the Spa at St. Regis Deer Valley, I felt instantly cared for, starting with a wellness shot offered at check-in.
An attendant then escorted me to the elegant locker rooms, where I slipped into a cozy robe and plush slippers before being guided to the first relaxation room.

I spent some time unwinding in the serene space, sipping warm tea and enjoying a few granola bites as the calming atmosphere set the tone for the experience.

Soon after, I was warmly greeted by my therapist and escorted into the treatment room for my body treatment, where the room was perfectly warm, the table heated (always a win), and soft towels layered throughout.

This massage was pure comfort from start to finish. The room was warm, the table heated (always a win), and soft towels were layered throughout the experience. The subtle scent of lavender filled the air as the therapist incorporated Phytomer products and a soothing scalp massage that had me drifting almost immediately.
The star of the treatment? Warm traditional Thai-inspired poultices — steamed herbal bundles infused with lemongrass, ginger, and prai extract — gently and rhythmically pressed into areas of muscle tension. Combined with a warm oil full-body massage, the result was deeply relaxing and incredibly grounding.
It was one of those treatments where you walk out feeling lighter, looser, and wondering why you don’t do this more often.

After my massage, I was escorted to the Tranquility Lounge — a gorgeous indoor-outdoor space filled with natural stone details and mountain views that practically invite you to exhale.

Next up was the Boost & Brighten facial, and my skin loved every minute of it.
This brightening, detoxifying treatment uses Sothys products along with an Intraceuticals vitamin oxygen infusion that feels like a refreshing burst of mountain air across your face.
The result? Skin that looked refreshed, radiant, and glowing — the kind of glow that makes you skip makeup for the rest of the day.
