SPA DAY
The Grove Park is hands down the home to the most luxurious spa experience in Asheville- but its pricey and very hard to get in to.
Here are some other options I love for a relaxing spa day...
Hot Springs- soak in a natural hot spring private tub and enjoy a massage afterwards- bring your own food and drink to enjoy while you soak.
Sauna House- at only $35 a person, this is a great option for groups. Enjoy 2 hours in the bathhouse including showers, a wet and dry sauna and cold plunge! Massages are also available at an additional charge.
The Spa at Biltmore Village- not to be confused with the spa at the actual Biltmore Estate. This is a beautiful spa that offers spa parties also. Before you go, enjoy a stroll in historic Biltmore village and grab a coffee at Well Bred, then head back to the village after your spa day for dinner and skinny margs at The Cantina. The village also offers an upscale shopping experience with stores like LuLuLemon, Nest (my favorite), Chicos, William-Sonoma and more. Lots of unique art galleries too!
