The resort is also home to the luxurious Spa Montage Deer Valley, a serene sanctuary that promotes relaxation, beauty and wellness year-round. The 35,000 square-foot spa has a range of amenities, including redwood saunas, deluge showers, an indoor mosaic pool, and much more. We chatted with Spa Director Shana Ominsky, who shares favorite treatments to try, what to splurge on, and special bonuses offered at the spa.

Why You’ll Love It: At Spa Montage Deer Valley, guests enjoy the warm and welcoming environment that promotes well-being in a true alpine setting. The therapists at Spa Montage Deer Valley have all gone through an advanced certification process, ASTECC, to provide more personalized and enhanced treatments than normally taught in standard education, which leads to an unparalleled experience for our guests.

Key Features: At Spa Montage Deer Valley, some amenities include separate his and hers relaxation rooms that feature meditation lounges warmed by a fire, redwood saunas, steam rooms, jetted whirlpools and deluge showers.

The 35,000 square-foot spa also includes an indoor mosaic lap pool and jetted whirlpool with breathtaking views over the mountain valley, a wellness center featuring state-of-the art fitness equipment and private instructors, a full salon offering hair and nail services, and a specialty retail boutique where guests can shop the full line of the spa’s top partnerships, including Tata Harper and new partner Valmont and their top-selling items.

Bonus: Guests receiving body treatments that incorporate dry brushing are gifted with a special Montage dry brush that comes with a guide on how to use it for at-home benefits.

Insider’s Tip: Order the house-made High Altitude Tea if you are experiencing any symptoms. This special blend is hand-crafted by the spa and is a delicious way to warm up while minimizing the effects of high altitude.

Spa Snacks: A specialized spa lunch menu is available that includes organic, nutritious ingredients to fuel your body from inside out. Montage Hotels & Resorts partnered with celebrity health coach and nutritionist, Kelly LeVeque, who created healthy menus for each resort including Montage Deer Valley.

Favorites include a selection of Kelly LeVeque-designed smoothies and dishes, and the Asian Noodle Salad which features grilled chicken, soba noodles a variety of raw vegetables topped with a chili vinaigrette. A selection of wine and beers is also available.

Unique Treatment: The most unique treatment at Spa Montage Deer Valley is off of the new Spa Indigenous Menu and is called The High Altitude Kur body treatment. The treatment incorporates indigenous Utah elements to help bodies recover and relax from high-mountain activities.

The High Altitude Kur body treatment begins with a mineralizing bath salt soak from The Great Salt Lake, the largest salt water lake in the Western Hemisphere, and provides an abundance of natural salts to incorporate into the spa treatment providing high in magnesium to help relax muscles before the massage.

This treatment also utilizes an Aspen Bark lotion, which provides a special healing and anti-inflammation ingredient known as salicin, which is safely extracted from the beautiful state tree of Utah, the Aspen. Price begins at $325 for 90 minutes.

Splurge Treatment: We recently partnered with Valmont to offer an incredible selection of facial therapies that use pure medical-grade collagen and are designed to strengthen and stimulate skin cell without invasive medical procedures.

The most luxe treatment is called The Masterpiece treatment, which is the ultimate anti-aging perfection and cellular renewal  treatment with six masks, including a complete collagen treatment for the face, neck, décolleté and the eyes.

The treatment also includes the infusing power of oxygen, Vortex suction, and a combination of salicylic and glycolic acid peels to remove impurities deep within your skin to fight the acceleration of aging ($1100 for 120 minutes).

Insider’s Favorite: The Hydra Oxy Glow Facial, which utilizes HydraFacial technology for skin resurfacing, followed by a special oxygen technology that penetrates peptides and humectants back into your skin. Having combination skin, I have found that this facial combats every skin challenge I have and leaves my skin glowing for weeks without having to go through harsh peels.
