Manchester Village, Vermont – The Spa at The Equinox, a Luxury Collection Golf Resort & Spa, Vermont, encourages guests to awaken their spirit and reconnect with nature. The full-service resort spa reflects the scenic beauty of Vermont’s pristine environment and captures the natural energy and healing atmosphere permeating the surrounding mountains, forests and famed Equinox Springs in both its decadent treatments and the spa’s sumptuous interiors. The Spa at The Equinox offers a variety of relaxing treatments and indulgent packages that incorporate hand-selected ingredients indigenous to the Vermont region, including maple sugar, wildflowers and mineral clay.
The Spa at The Equinox is a grand 13,000-square-foot facility with ten plush treatment rooms and an array of unique and lavish spa treatments to alleviate the pressures of modern life. Offerings include a menu of skin care treatments such as the Twilight Triple Tonic facial which leaves the skin glowing and radiant, the Mountain Man facial uniquely suited for a man’s skin or the revitalizing, anti-aging Baby Boomer facial which aids in restoring elasticity for improvement in skin tone and clarity. Massage therapies include Aromatherapy and Swedish massage, Abhyanga massage which aids to increase circulation and oxygenation to skin cells, as well as a specialized prenatal massage, Mother Earth, or the River Stones massage which incorporates hot and cold basalt river rocks. The body treatment menu features unique therapies such as Gifts of the Sea, which incorporates an active marine detoxifying mud or The Autumnal Ritual, a full-body treatment which uses a delicate combination of pure gold mineral and Egyptian chamomile.
Featured proprietary treatments include The Equinox Legend, designed exclusively for The Spa, where a highly trained therapist works closely with guests to create a personalized menu of exotic fragrance-infused sugars, salts, and crushed nuts for the massage. Guests then choose a mask from an array of mud, seaweed, and oils to enhance their body wrap. And finally, guests may select their own finishing moisturizer from essential blended oils or fine hydrating lotions. The Legend is ever changing, ever renewing and uniquely personal. The Spirit of Vermont truly reflects the calming energy of breathtaking southern Vermont. Guests are encouraged to indulge in the ultimate combination of Massage, Reflexology, and Reiki to rejuvenate and revitalize mind, body and soul.
Accompanied by a state-of-the-art fitness center and the Movement Studio which offers classes such as yoga and Pilates, The Spa offers guests the opportunity to maintain their workout routines while away. For those looking for a little more relaxation guests can take in the mountain views as they lounge by the resort’s 75-foot heated indoor pool or outdoor Jacuzzi, unwind in the steam room and sauna, or curl up in a cozy window seat around the stone hearth while sipping a refreshing beverage – before or after a luxurious spa treatment.
