Whether you’re seeking out an all-inclusive weekend getaway or a day spa for a quick fix, the best spas in the United States offer unique treatments and serene settings to relax and unwind. Many of these luxurious locales, including the opulent Aire Ancient Baths, are attached to full-service resorts, but they can also serve as standalone destinations with a complete list of services. Luckily, many of these locations are accessible by plane and train, meaning a blissful escape is only a short trip away.
Joanna Vargas Day Spa — Located right across from one of NYC’s busiest public libraries, this hidden spa offers treatments for every need, from classic purifying facials and deep-tissue massages to high-tech picks like the ‘Emsculpt’ body contouring or the ‘Power Nap’ full-body LED session. Pre- and post-treatment, hang out in the water lounge with its three-story waterfall, hot tub and cold plunge pool or cozy up in the saunas and steam rooms.
Spa de La Mer — Located inside the Baccarat Hotel, this luxe spa takes the concept of balance to new levels with treatments that are rooted in both ancient Japanese traditions and modern techniques. Intermix merchandise planner Laura Kim says she loves the ‘Onsen Ritual’ that gives you access to their bathhouse and includes a mineral-salt soak, a soothing face mask and massage with two therapists.
QC NY — Located on Governor’s Island, this wellness retreat is a true destination with its saunas, steam room, Vichy showers, baths and relaxation lounges. The ‘Emsculpt’ and ‘Power Nap’ are just two of the techy offerings that have everyone talking, but there are plenty of more traditional picks as well.
