Once called "the premier summer resort" by Mrs. Abraham Lincoln, the Equinox Resort dates back more than 200 years, and its much younger Aavanyu Spa (its name taken from the ancient Tewa Native American word for a mythical water serpent) reflects Vermont's pure natural beauty in its treatments and atmosphere. Among the mountains, trees, and water flowing from the famed Equinox Springs, guests can enjoy a wide menu of massages, facials, and body treatments, or relax in an indoor lap pool, enjoy the cardio room and movement studio for yoga, Pilates, and meditation, and enjoy delicious spa cuisine.

This Vermont resort has a lovely woodland aesthetic, with mission-style furniture, and a leaf pattern that appears everywhere from the rugs to walls. Like the resort, the spa is luxurious, and offers guests a decadent experience lolling in its saunas and steam baths or enjoying its facials, massages, and body scrubs. Try the Spirit of Vermont massage that uses a mix of Reiki, reflexology, and massage. Perhaps a Gentle Rain body treatment is what you need. Give in to total relaxation under the gentle scrubbing of sea salt, maple, or citrus, followed by a warm waterfall shower and a massage with rich body cream. A signature of the spa is their 80-minute Legend, in which guests can choose a scrub from a selection of fragrance-infused sugars, salts, and crushed flowers, as well as a mask with oils, seaweeds and muds, and a moisturizing treatment. Whatever treatments you decide to try, your experience at Aavanyu is sure to be a sweet one!

Avanyu Spa at The Equinox offers absolute rejuvenation in the midst of Vermont's expansive Green Mountains. Featuring a state-of-the-art Fitness Center and nourishing treatments with local flavor, the spa aims to refresh both body and soul with numerous overnight and day spa packages.
