Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains in a Victorian mansion, the beautiful natural setting of the Westglow Spa alone is enough to have you floating, but this Spa has much more in store than Mother Earth. Located on an historic 20-acre estate, the Westglow Spa offers European style face and body treatments, health and well-being therapies, and salon services. And when not indulging in spa treatments, guests are welcome to enjoy the indoor pool, whirlpools, and wet and dry saunas, or relax by the poolside café for some inner reflection. Even the more active spa goers will find fulfillment here with recreational amenities such as a walking trail, tennis court, croquet, daily hikes in the mountains, plus horseback riding, skiing, and golf.
Capture the mountain feeling by staying in a quaint cottage or the beautiful Cedar Lodge, complete with fireplace, Jacuzzi, and magnificent mountain views. Top it off with a Mountain Body Salt Glow or Blue Ridge Body Wrap and you'll be in heaven in no time. A session of Raindrop Therapy (raindrops of oil dropped onto your back and massaged in) does wonders for the body and spirit, but then again, so do the great selection of facials, such as the Oxygen Facial, and the Cellex-C Antioxidant Facial. Traditionalists will rest easy with the Swedish and Hot Stone massages, or choose a Thai massage for a little flair instead. Be sure not to miss out on the personal training and Pilates classes, or try out one of the nutrition classes, such as diet consultation or grocery store tour. Of course, your weekend in the mountains is not complete without a session of sunset yoga in the mountain pose while watching the sun set.
End your spa-filled day with a delicious meal of grilled veal chops with chestnut puree, and apple-fig-blueberry compote at Rowland's restaurant.
