For a bit of everything in a single service, this spa day starts at your own pace, with a warm shower and a hot steam, followed by a relaxing trip to the Himalayan Salt Room, where halotherapy–plus a salty foot soak–helps guests breathe easier. (Literally: Inhaling salt particles can support better breathing.) That’s followed by a 90-minute massage with optional add-ons such as aromatherapy oil; CBD; exfoliation; hot stones; or face, eye, and lip masks. Starting at $450.
