In Utah, wellness abounds with a plethora of unique experiences found nowhere else. Picture yourself indulging in a spa treatment infused with whiskey or immersing yourself in relaxation within a historic mining building turned spa sanctuary. These are just a taste of the distinctive wellness offerings waiting to be discovered in Utah.
IT’S A WHISKEY AFFAIR

Experience the High West Whiskey Rubdown, a signature massage unlike any other, harnessing the rejuvenating properties of whiskey to invigorate your body and soothe your senses. A journey back to the old West begins with a whiskey, salt and sage foot soak, paired with a shot of High West Whiskey. An old-school massage that begins with warm towel compressions, loosening any tension in the body, followed by therapeutic muscle liniment brings the body to an even greater state of relaxation. The treatment includes a foot scrub and scalp invigorator for the ultimate unwind.

A MINE GAME
On top of one of the most iconic landscapes on Earth, Stillwell Spa of Snowpine Resort at Alta, was originally a building used for the mining industry. The spa still embodies this history with its sacred space made from the original granite stone, a dimly-lit grotto with a plunge pool, and other natural materials used throughout. Since the lodge is situated at 8,500 feet above sea level, the spa offers inhalation therapy to maintain proper oxygen levels as well as detoxifies the body.
