New York’s breathtaking museums, dazzling streets and crowded parks can leave visitors sore and exhausted, while city residents have packed schedules and often work long hours. Fortunately, the city is home to many world-class spas that provide both rejuvenation and relaxation for visitors and locals alike.
Founded by celebrity facialist Joanna Vargas (whose eponymous skincare line is available at this serene spot), this calming sanctuary is the ideal place to recharge in the heart of downtown Manhattan. Treat yourself to a cleansing facial or an invigorating massage to soothe your soul, and if you’re feeling adventurous, try out one of the more high-tech picks such as the ‘Emsculpt’ body contouring treatment or the ‘Power Nap’ full-body LED session.
The modern three-story space at this swanky hotel spa blends European and Ayurvedic philosophies to deliver soothing treatments that pamper both mind and body. To truly get away from the hustle and bustle of NYC, opt for a four-hour Escape from the City package that includes a full-body scrub and wrap, a holistic massage and a remodeling facial.
This 50,000-square-foot Brooklyn spa brings a slew of authentic experiences to the city, including Eastern European banyas and Finnish saunas, cleansing Himalayan salt therapy sessions, Turkish and Moroccan hammams and Japanese onsens. Shibui Spa, set inside Greenwich Hotel in the middle of Tribeca, aims for balance with an emphasis on organic and plant-based practices wherever possible, and it’s impossible to leave without feeling almost born again.
