The Williamsburg Salt Spa—Williamsburg

As the first salt spa on the East Coast, the Williamsburg Salt Spa(link is external) has introduced an entirely new wellness treatment to Virginians. Built using 15 tons of therapeutic Polish and Himalayan salts, the salt cave improves your health and overall mood as you breathe in the mineral-rich air.

The Salt Foot Sanctuary—Roanoke

The Salt Foot Sanctuary(link is external), located in the historic Hotel Roanoke, emphasizes the use of ancient minerals and herbs in their sumptuous foot soaks. Rest your weary feet in their locally made copper tubs, filled with essential oils, salts, and dried herbs that moisturize and detoxify skin, and enjoy a tasty beverage during the 45-minute pampering treatments. Book a targeted body massage during your foot treatment for even more relaxation, or reserve a full body or couples massage, which are provided in the privacy of your hotel room.

The Retreat at Veritas—Afton

Stay at the The Retreat at Veritas(link is external) for a one day, four day, or weeklong wellness immersion experience that teaches healthy living practices. The program leans heavily on wellness practices like yoga and hiking, but there are a variety of other healthy activities like horseback riding, cooking classes, and rejuvenating spa services. The Retreat at Veritas believes that while the typical health and wellness treatments can help restore guests to a more tranquil state, the ultimate spiritual reset includes food, wine, and laid-back social interactions with staff and other guests.
