New England resort spas welcome everyone for luxury massage & more

New England > All New England > Resorts and Luxury > Spas & Wellness

Wellness is a difficult word to define, because it means something different for every person. At its core, wellness is being gentle with yourself. You might enjoy basking in the fresh, open air, or relaxing next to the ocean, or getting a massage, or indulging in some aromatherapy, or yoga, or eating a warm meal. Not all wellness experiences take place at spas, and not every spa is overpriced and stuffy.

A spa experience in New England often includes more than the usual massage, facial, or wrap. Some spas practice traditional Chinese medicine; others offer things like algae wraps or exotic rubs. Spas celebrate the resources of their home regions: Mountain View Grand Resort & Spa in New Hampshire doles out 360-degree mountain views. Experience a massage beside a waterfall, or relax to the sound of the Atlantic against a rocky coastline.
