30 Best Weekend Spa Getaways in Every Region of the U.S.

These luxurious, unique and entirely life-changing spa services are just a road trip away.

We've been independently researching and testing products for over 120 years. If you buy through our links, we may earn a commission. Learn more about our review process.

Travelers are in their wellness era with spa getaways and holistic retreats seeing record numbers of visitors, and there's never been a better time to get in on the relaxation. Many resorts have invested in renovating their spas, reimagining treatment rooms, improving changing areas and creating sanctuaries for pre- and post-service relaxation.

But if the idea of a high price tag is holding you back from a luxe spa weekend, consider this: In many places, you could splurge on a single treatment and remain robe-clad almost all day enjoying all the extra amenities like saunas, hot tubs and aromatherapy-infused relaxation rooms.

You'd also save some serious cash by driving to one of the destinations rather than having to cover airfare. That's why we included 30 glorious picks from all across the country so you're sure to find something in your neck of the woods. The Good Housekeeping team has personally vetted most of these selections so you can feel confident in the quality. Take a deep breath and explore all the ah (mazing) possibilities:

The Breakers Palm Beach, Palm Beach, Florida

The indoor-outdoor spa at The Breakers Palm Beach , just north of Miami, is every bit as divine as the Italian Renaissance-style property itself. With 17 treatment rooms and eight salon stations, the spa overlooks the resort's private beachfront. Post-treatment, you can enjoy snacks and beverages in the serene courtyard. Chill vibes all around!

Signature Service: Billed as the spa's most extensive rejuvenating treatment, the 80-minute Guerlain Black Orchid Facial (using the brand's famed black cream) works to reinforce topical skin's firmness and aims to reduce wrinkles while redefining natural facial contours.

Ambriente, a Landscape Hotel, Sedona, Arizona

The Lodge at Woodloch, Hawley, Pennsylvania

Within driving distance from New York City and the DC area, this adult-only Pocono Mountain escape (the sister property of Good Housekeeping 2024 Family Travel Award winner Woodloch Pines) recently debuted a new spa menu, which includes Ayurveda treatments such as a hot oil massage and blissful detox. Its 40,000 square-foot indoor-outdoor space houses 27 treatment rooms, multiple whirlpools, a Himalayan salt sauna and even a 'snow room" with actual snow. "While my daughter cooled off in the snow room after the sauna, I was blissfully lounging outside in the serene woodland area," said a Good Housekeeping editor who visited recently. Because this destination spa is an all-inclusive, meals, workshops and other activities are built into the nightly rate. You can also select a package that includes a daily spa credit.

Signature Service : Inspired by herbal healing properties, Rosemary Awakening , begins with a stimulating body polish of rosemary and mint to cleanse and detoxify, and is followed by a full body Swedish massage with hydrating shea butter and healing essential oils to ease sore muscles. Next, you're gently wrapped to enhance relaxation while receiving a luxurious scalp and foot massages.

The West Hollywood EDITION, West Hollywood, California

This luxury hotel's minimalist design carries over to its award-winning spa. Focusing on wellness and mindfulness, the spa includes a spiritual meditation space with treatments such as a sound bath and LED-light therapy in addition to massages, facials and body treatments. It's truly a sanctuary on LA's Sunset Strip. Après-spa fun can be had at the rooftop pool and at Ardor, which offers veggie delights such as vegan carrot cake, mushroom terrine and sweet potato curry in addition to fish and meat dishes.

Signature Service: Sweeping dry brush exfoliation and a soothing full-body scrub await those who book a RENEW body treatment , which works to stimulate and soften targeted skin. Harnessing sea salt and organic algae, the Undaria Algae Body Butter used in this application hydrates skin and aids in feeling refreshed. Three "Stay All Day" packages offer treatment bundles — the DESERT includes the RENEW body treatment, light therapy and a stone massage.

The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch, Beaver Creek, Colorado

Want to ski and spa? The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch , is your place. The newly renovated ski-in, ski-out resort is nestled within Vail's Beaver Creek, a true winter wonderland. Hit the slopes in the morning, book a treatment for after lunch and then linger in the spa's naturally sourced rock-lined grottos. Hot and cold plunge pools and sauna access are also included with your stay. Rooms with stone fireplaces and wood accents further elevate the mountain vibe.

Signature Service: The Miner's Mineral Mud Wrap uses activated charcoal mud from the region to refresh your skin. After a body wrap, scalp massage and bath, a full body massage with rich amethyst oil completes this 100-minute service.

Sea Island Resort, Sea Island, Georgia

Welcoming guests since the 1920s, this Southern gem sits on a private island with miles of unspoiled beaches. Grand yet unassuming, pretty much any type of traveler — the foodie, the golfer, the nature buff — would find joy at Sea Island Resort. But spa-goers will be on cloud nine. Nestled within The Cloister, the resort's flagship hotel, The Spa at Sea Island features circular whirlpools overlooking the sweeping grounds, a myriad of outdoor hot tubs, a mediation labyrinth and a garden atrium (shown).

Signature Service: You can't go wrong with any of the spa's 12 massage options, but the The Sea Island Escape Massage is divine. It includes a full body brushing, a rejuvenating scalp and foot treatment and a customized full-body massage to leave you stress-free.

W South Beach, Miami, Florida

Your wellness haven on the shores of Miami’s South Beach, W South Beach transports you to a serene, chic oasis that caters to anyone from the solo traveler to the whole family. Some suites even offer full kitchens and washer/dryers, perfect if you’re vacationing with kids or just on an extended stay. During your stay, enjoy the Away Spa , which offers plethora of treatments, from foot massages to anti-pollution facials. Upon your arrival at the spa, you’ll find thoughtful amenities like chlorophyll-infused water, light snacks and limestone steam showers. Hotel guests can also indulge in free classes on the spa’s terrace with Ahana Yoga , a popular studio in Miami, or HIIT training at the gym by Dogpound . Expect to leave the hotel feeling rested, detoxified and begging to stay another night (or five).

Royal Palms Resort and Spa, Phoenix, Arizona

Located within the historic Royal Palms Resort and Spa, part of the Unbound Collection by Hyatt, Alvadora Spa offers a serene escape in the heart of the Arizona desert. This award-winning spa features a collection of signature treatments that harness the nurturing essences of the Mediterranean, such as the Citrus Ritual, which begins with a full body double exfoliation while water gently cascades from above. Enjoy the waterfall shower, relax in the garden tub and private patio area and conclude with a customized massage tailored to one’s individual needs. The spa has eight luxurious treatment rooms, many with private indoor and outdoor courtyards. After the treatment, relax by a crackling fireplace in the courtyards, amidst the stunning Arizona landscape.

Ocean House, Watch Hill, Rhode Island

The Lake House at Canandaigua, Canandaigua, New York

A timelessly designed getaway in New York's Finger Lakes, the Lake House at Canandaigua sweeps you off your feet from the moment you pull up. The 125-room resort might remind you of a giant vacation house — and that's what the developers had in mind. They wanted to create an experience that feels elevated yet familiar. That philosophy carries over to the Willowbrook Spa, home to a private garden and creekside saunas. The spa even creates proprietary herbal oil blends featured in its extensive spa treatment list. A Good Housekeeping staffer who visited was impressed with the spa consultation that directed her to which of the 20+ treatments would best fit her needs.

Signature Service : Start your morning early with a private Sauna Ritual for a group of up to four guests, which includes a targeted blend of aromatherapy topicals for your pleasure. Plus, the Instagram-friendly sauna barrels are just steps from the waterfront — an idyllic setting just after sunrise.

Goldener Hirsch, Auberge Resort Collection, Park City, Utah

If you're on the hunt for physical rejuvenation beyond just spa treatments, Goldener Hirsch is just the ticket. Hop on the nearby chairlift to be whisked to Deer Valley, one of the best ski resorts in the country, then return from your runs to soak in an infinity hot tub with stunning mountain views or meditate in the Zen garden. All the resort's rooftop wellness facilities — including a pool — received a glow-up.

Signature Service: Sign up for High Vibrations Energy Healing. This 45- to 90-minute Reiki treatment will leave you feeling revitalized. Keep in mind that you need to book five days in advance.

Sanctuary Camelback Mountain, A Gurney's Resort & Spa, Paradise Valley, Arizona

Inn by the Sea, Cape Elizabeth, Maine

Depending on the season, you can enjoy a beachy or hygge stay at this coastal Maine resort near Portland. In warmer weather, spa therapists conduct certain full-body treatments and revitalizing facials al fresco , just above Cape Elizabeth's shoreline. When cold weather returns, you can cozy up in one of the beach-view suites with gas fireplaces until your spa appointment. The spa menu is vast and features many treatments with a beach theme.

Signature Service: The Changing Tides treatment combines a hydrating scrub with a warming wrap for two hours of pure bliss. Check the "spa specials" every month to learn about seasonal treatments and deals.

Calistoga Motor Lodge and Spa, Calistoga, California

The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans, Louisiana

NOLA is for jazz, beignets and spas! In its prime French Quarter location, the newly renovated spa at The Ritz-Carlton features eucalyptus-infused steam rooms and lofty relaxation lounges featuring complimentary champagne and lite bites. Spanning 25,000 square feet, the city's largest spa has a wide array of treatments.

Signature Service : Newcomers often opt for the spa's Voodoo Ritual 80-minute massage, which uses local incense and a proprietary mix of absinthe and bourbon in body oils to banish tension.

Destination Kohler, Kohler, Wisconsin

You may know Kohler for its high-quality faucets, but the brand also boasts golf and resort destinations worldwide. The spa at its flagship property, The American Club — about 150 miles north of Chicago — recently received a glow-up, making it the only five-star experience in Wisconsin. The thoughtful redesign introduced floor-to-ceiling windows to give spa-goers stunning views during manis and pedis. Plush furnishings and a cozy fireplace in the massage finishing lounge encourage guests to linger and relax in the sanctuary-like surroundings before heading to their room. There are three kinds of accommodations — you can stay at the high-end historic hotel, a lakefront inn or one of five private cabins.

Signature Service: The Kohler Waters Spa focuses on — what else? — the power of mineral-rich water. Try the new Fire and Ice, a hydrotherapy treatment under a custom Vichy shower. It includes a carrot seed oil facial, peppermint-infused ice spheres and body butter. EXPLORE NOW

Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa, Manalapan, Florida

An exquisite property that feels like its own little oasis, Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa appeals to guests of all ages. A Good Housekeeping staffer who recently visited with her spouse and daughter appreciated the kids' activities, well-equipped fitness center and standout restaurants. The spa, in particular, was a favorite. "The spa was outrageously amazing," she said. "I had the best massage." She added, "They have these beautiful gardens in the spa and amazing amenities. I wish I had planned to spend more time at the spa. I would suggest going early to enjoy most of your day there." The icing on the cake: You can even have your treatment in a private garden villa.

Signature Service: Try The Royal Recovery , which starts with a foot scrub and shea butter wrap followed by a massage of the head, neck, shoulders and feet. Divine!

The Lodge at Spruce Peak, Stowe, Vermont

If you're torn between a spa weekend and a family getaway, The Lodge at Spruce Peak, part of Destination Hyatt, provides the best of both at a picturesque mountain destination. Alongside its many offerings for adults, the Spa offers a selection of services for kids ages 3 to 14. Everyone is welcome at the resort's Healing Lodge with his and hers saunas, hot tubs and steam rooms. And, of course, kids will love the heated outdoor pool. Multi-bedroom suites provide plenty of space for the whole family.

Signature Services A trip to Vermont isn't complete without sampling local brew, and spa therapists have embraced the perk into a truly singular spa treatment known as the Stowe Cider Uber Scrub . You'll enjoy a full-body application of naturally spiced cider sugar scrub to buff out overworked skin and enjoy a full sample of local Stowe Cider to sip in the spa sanctuary post-treatment. For the kiddos, a Princess Pedicure will leave their toes smelling bakery fresh.

Mission Point Resort, Mackinac Island, Michigan

You'll leave stress and worries behind at the dock when you board a ferry to Mackinac Island, a seasonal haven tucked near the Michigan shorelines of Lake Huron. Home to its signature car-free, nature-packed surroundings, the island is full of quaint charm in its lodgings like Mission Point Resort, which packs a full-service spa into its lakeside property. Coupled with an Aveda salon, the resort's Lakeside Spa offers a wide array of treatments. It will be open from April 26 to October 26, 2024.

Capped off with a hydrating foot mask and hot towel service in the spa's charming treatment center.

Spring Creek Ranch, Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Taking a vacation to marvel at the natural beauty of the American West doesn't always mean you have to be "roughing" it. Spread out on a high butte of its own in Jackson Hole, Spring Creek Ranch is just a stone's throw from Grand Teton National Park and a short drive from Yellowstone. The resort's Wilderness Adventure Spa is framed with sweeping views of the Teton Mountains and is flanked by the hotel's grounds, which are also designated as a wildlife sanctuary. You'll take it all in from the spa's 20-person outdoor saltwater hot tub, which feels like a magical escape in almost any season.

Signature Service: Start with a Teton Forest Massage , which combats the dry, high-altitude air with a mineral scrub and mud-bubbling along your spine. You'll end the service with a full body wrap massage using locally inspired oils.

Kate Middleton Makes Her Third Appearance of 2024 Attending Church at Balmoral

The Princess of Wales stepped out with the royal family family for Sunday services.

The Princess of Wales was pictured in the front seat of a Range Rover driven by her husband, Prince William, as Prince George sat in the backseat. For the Sunday service, Kate wore a brown fedora with a feather accessory, and a beige tartan coat—appearing to be a very similar (or the same) outfit that she wore to church at Balmoral last summer . King Charles and Queen Camilla were pictured in another car, as were Prince Edward, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, their son James, Earl of Wessex, and Princess Anne's husband Timothy Laurence .

The drive to church marks a rare public appearance for the Princess of Wales. When Kate attended Trooping the Colour earlier this summer, she shared an update on her health in a letter, writing , "I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days. On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to your body resting. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well." She added, "My treatment is ongoing and will be for a few more months."
