5 Best Hotels For A Winter Wellness Retreat
Whether it’s a paperback under the palms, a lakeside namaste, or a snowy mountainside soak, your winter reset sets the tone for the year ahead. We’ve rounded up our favorite destinations that will leave you feeling relaxed and refreshed - whatever that looks like to you.
Chico Hot Springs
Lake Austin Spa Resort | Austin, Texas
Set along the shores of Lake Austin, this all-inclusive spa resort, named #1 Destination Spa in the U.S., takes care of all the details, so you can focus on... you! An array of fitness and wellness classes, top-notch facilities, three nourishing farm-to-table meals, and drinks and snacks are all included in your nightly rate. Splurge on world-class spa treatments and wine, cocktails and bubbles, if you like. Mild winter weather is ideal for kayaking, running and hiking through the lushness of Texas Hill Country, but don’t miss opportunities for sound baths, culinary classes, or the very special Healing with Water session.
Isla Bella Beach Resort | Marathon, Florida
For those craving a warm-weather escape, Isla Bella Beach Resort in the Florida Keys delivers sunshine and coastal relaxation. Just an hour from Key West International Airport or a scenic 2.5-hour drive from Miami (with plenty of amazing stops along the way that make the time fly by), the oceanfront property features private white sand beaches, multiple pools (some with poolside service), world-class dining and a full-service spa with treatments designed to melt away stress. Start your mornings with complimentary beach yoga, then explore the turquoise waters by kayak or stand-up paddleboard (both available for guest use), or cruise the iconic Seven Mile Bridge by bike. Spend your days by the water and your evenings watching cotton candy-colored sunsets over the water.
Wequassett Resort & Golf Club | Cape Cod, Massachusetts
With Cape Cod's summer crowds (and lines) long gone, Wequassett Resort embraces the quieter season with endless views of Pleasant Bay, cozy fireplaces, impeccable dining inspired by the Cape's seasonal bounty, and an intimate atmosphere that feels a world away from everyday. The off-season brings vibrant winter sunsets, empty beaches perfect for long walks, and a sense of calm that's hard to find during peak months. Newly refreshed accommodations offer even more comfort, while a partnership with BMW provides guests with complimentary chauffeured service, or reserve one of their luxury vehicles to explore the Cape at your own pace. This February and March, renowned French skincare brand Biologique Recherche returns to Wequassett for an exclusive pop-up spa, bringing their proprietary methodologies and hyper-customized treatments to the resort
Chico Hot Springs | Pray, Montana
Nestled in Montana's Paradise Valley, Chico Hot Springs has been delivering authentic Montana hospitality for more than 100 years. Soak in the steamy natural mineral hot springs as snow falls and snow-capped peaks rise in the distance. After your soak, head to the full-service day spa for massages, facials, and body treatments. Treat yourself to thoughtfully-prepared seasonal dining before retreating to your cabin, chalet, or room in the historic lodge. Just an hour or so from Yellowstone, it’s winter beyond compare.
The William Vale | Brooklyn, New York
The William Vale in Brooklyn proves you can hit reset, even in the middle of the city. Here, sweeping skyline views of Manhattan meet rooftop cedar hot tubs and panoramic barrel saunas that make winter feel indulgent rather than enduring. Rooms offer expansive views of the neighborhood, plush pillow-top mattresses with luxury linens, and rainfall showers stocked with Le Labo bath products. Attentive service elevates every detail, while the design-forward hotel offers three distinct dining experiences. With its central location, you're also steps away from Brooklyn's vibrant neighborhoods, dining that goes from much-buzzed to iykyk, and cultural sights.
Whether you’re craving sun, snow, or simply a change of scenery, . Pack your bags, and let this be the moment to unplug, unwind and unveil your best self this year.
