Relax at These Five Spas on the East Coast
Make a weekend of it with a little travel and turn your spa day into a spa trip with a visit to a resort along the East Coast of the United States. These fantastic locales boast luxury treatments inside world-class hotels that will help you relax your way. Take a trip along the coast and see what these resorts have in store for you.
Woodstock Inn & Resort
One of the newest spa destinations on the East Coast can be found in Eastern Vermont. Woodstock Inn & Resort creates modern style inside a rustic inn, and their spa will help you find your home away from home. They offer ten rooms for you to step into and try their all-natural treatments created with locally sourced products. You have your choice of massages and added pressure that will help your body relax, such as deep-tissue, Himalayan Salt Stone or their signature treatment that changes with the seasons.
Treat yourself to a gentle facial that will rejuvenate your body inside and out, for a little cleansing. After adding some color to your nails with a manicure and pedicure from their salon, be sure to visit the outdoor courtyard and slip into their Scandinavian Sauna. Once you leave the Spa at Woodstock, you’ll feel like a brand new you.
The Greenbrier
Hidden in the rolling hills of White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, guests can find the delightfully classic resort, The Greenbrier. Renowned for its luxurious accommodations and floral-printed wallpaper, the resort has hosted America’s elite for decades. In addition to being the home of The Bunker (a former fallout shelter for members of Congress and worth the visit alone), The Greenbrier boasts a world-class spa (it has been awarded one of the “Best Spas in the World” accolades by “Condé Nast Traveler”).
The Spa at The Greenbrier features traditional spa treatments, MedSpa services and meditation and healing guidance with a Spiritual Healer. The healing services include “Chakra Balancing” and “Guided Meditation” for a different level of healing. Classic spa services are offered with several exclusive services, especially for men, teens and expecting mothers. Those in search of something more unique can try one of the Hydrotherapy offerings like the “Mineral Mountain Bath,” which utilizes the highly-concentrated mineral waters of the local Alvon Springs.
Lansdowne Resort & Spa

Lansdowne is the perfect place to get away from it all and find the personal time you’ve been craving.
White Barn Inn
Spas aren’t often paired with seaside getaways, but this hotel in Maine will change that. White Barn Inn is a coastal resort that offers rustic, down-to-earth charm in the town of Kennebunk. A part of this experience is the spa inside that provides you with a spiritual way to relax. The spa offers specialty treatments from their holistic massage to their anti-aging facial that you won’t find anywhere else. Each one is created to exfoliate your skin and help to release tension in your body.
You can even try treatments that come from various cultures, such as their Native American “Raindrop Therapy” or a “Thai Yoga Massage.” With the seashore waiting right outside your door, White Barn Inn is the perfect place to unwind and find immediate comfort.
The Dewberry
Suppose you want a combination of modern treatments with classic decor, head down to South Carolina. The Dewberry showcases the best parts of Charleston inside its doors, thanks to the vision of its founder, John Dewberry. One of its highlights is the spa, as you’ll get a little taste of Southern hospitality with your visit.
Many treatments are based on anti-aging techniques, so this is the place to be when you want to feel younger. The facials are created with blends of Vitamin C and active ingredients that work to make your skin healthier and more beautiful. Your body can feel even stronger when you take part in their other treatments like their signature massages and scrubs created with all-natural products.
Once your visit to the spa is through, check out their other wellness options like their fitness studio and open-air yoga classes.
