Top 5 Wellness Resorts and Spas in the U.S.

There’s nothing like a day at the spa. 

That’s definitely a cliche to say but, it’s factual. 

Days are spent rushing around, spilling your morning coffee, forgetting to iron your pants for the day, and working until your eyeballs feel strained. 

Although the work never stops if you want to have a livelihood, it’s summer. 

I associate summer with tropical palm trees, beach chairs, and plenty of margaritas. 

Basically, relaxation. 

And this summer, we all need to relax. 

5. CIVANA Wellness Resort and Spa

Arizona

Tucked away in the beautiful Sonoran Desert near Scottsdale, CIVANA is a fresh and inviting wellness resort for anyone 14 and up looking to unwind and rejuvenate. 

Get active with over a dozen daily fitness classes or relax by one of three pools. Indulge in the spa treatments, from the Aqua Vitality circuit to the serene Watsu therapy pool. 

And I swear you’ll enjoy the delicious, seasonal, plant-rich meals that are meant to nourish your body.

4. The American Club Resort Hotel

Wisconsin

The American Club Resort Hotel at Kohler offers a delightfully glamorous mix of luxury and wellness. 

Imagine pampering yourself with five-star spa treatments, then diving into the outdoors or hopping on an indoor cycling session. 

Stay fit and centered with yoga classes, and refresh afterward with cold-pressed juices. 

Tailor your wellness journey with fitness exactly how you like it!

3. Ojo Santa Fe

New Mexico

Ojo Santa Fe is a dreamy escape where the magic of water works wonders for your well-being. 

Soaking in natural springs is essential. A sanctuary for travelers seeking healing for centuries. 

Today, this serene spot combines the ancient art of hydrotherapy with rejuvenating body treatments to refresh your mind, body, and soul. 

It was even recognized as the "World’s Best Spa" by Travel & Leisure in 2021.

2. Carillon Miami Wellness Resort

Florida

At Carillon Miami Wellness Resort, wellness and luxury blend perfectly on the fabulous Miami Beach. 

Home to the largest spa and wellness facility on the East Coast, the resort offers cutting-edge treatments and therapies with access to top-notch wellness experts. 

The Thermal Experience, inspired by European traditions, uses water to promote health and relaxation. 

Guests can unwind in spacious one- or two-bedroom apartments with sparkling views of the ocean or skyline, a living room, kitchen, and spa-like bathroom. Dining is a delight with healthy, delicious options from fresh juices to Mediterranean cuisine. 

1. Sojo Spa Club

New Jersey

SoJo Spa Club is my go-to spot for a perfect day of relaxation and rejuvenation. 

This multi-level, year-round oasis offers everything you need to unwind, from soothing spa treatments to a tranquil hotel stay. With daily admission options, eco-friendly practices, and spaces for corporate events, SoJo is the ideal place to relax, refresh, and recharge. 

And my favorite part is admiring New York City's views while swimming in the infinity pool.
