WNC has long been a refuge for healing, and between the stress-relieving scenery, outdoor activities, plentiful yoga classes, and cool mountain air, a pampering spa experience is just the icing on top. From day spas to destination retreats, there’s no shortage of opportunities for such relaxation. In Asheville, alternative treatments include sensory deprivation at Still Point Wellness, enriching salt therapy at Asheville Salt Cave, and hydrotherapy at the Japanese- or Swedish-style soaking experiences found at Shoji Spa & Lodge and the new Bada Bastu, respectively. And talk about luxurious—don’t miss the splurge-worthy opportunities to be had at the region’s top award-winning spas: Old Edwards Inn in Highlands, Westglow Resort in Blowing Rock (which also offers wellness coaching), and The Omni Grove Park Inn in Asheville, where the multiple mineral pools surrounded by ambiently lit cavernous rock walls might be one of the most lavish settings of them all.
