Spa Antonio

Make time in your traveling itinerary for a bit of personal pampering at any of San Antonio's world-class spas. Here are a few.

The Watermark Hotel & Spa

Voted the #2 hotel and spa in the U.S. by Condé Nast Traveler readers, the Watermark has received some serious (and warranted) attention lately: this hotspot has it all – location, beauty, service and acclaim. Ideally situated on San Antonio’s famed River Walk, the Mobil Four Star-rated spa features 17,000 square feet of pure relaxation, and represents the ultimate in luxury without going over the top. Even the building, a former saddlery, evokes a sense of romance, making it an excellent spot for couples looking for some quiet time together.  

Several of the spa’s treatments are ideal for weary travelers. One must-try is the Solus per Aqua treatment, the Watermark’s signature water massage. Guests soak in a specially designed hydrotherapy tub while the therapist supports their weight, massaging the body with mineral oil under the waterline. Not only is it relaxing, being underwater allows for a deep massage without any discomfort.

A more traditional massage, the award-winning Watermark Restoration, uses yucca to penetrate muscles and joints, relieving inflammation and soreness – ideal after a long day of sightseeing. Another fatigue-relieving option is the Purple Sage Salt Glow Body Scrub. Add on the Blue Mint Foot Repair (reputed to be one of the best foot treatments anywhere), and you’ll be ready for another full day of touring the city.

Windflower – The Hill Country Spa

This ranch-like destination spa is surrounded by 200 acres of wildflowers, conjuring a natural tranquility. Expect modern facilities and true Texan hospitality in a setting reminiscent of the state’s past (no boring white blankets here – guests relax under handmade quilts). Native wildflowers, plants and herbs inspire many of the treatments – try the Windflower Facial or the Peach-Pecan Body Scrub.

Personal Touch Day Spa

You’ll be hard-pressed to find a better place to pamper your nails. The Milk and Honey Manicure and Pedicure were featured in Lucky magazine, and why not? The combination of the two ingredients, plus walnuts and sugar, makes for one indulgent, nourishing treatment. For the ultimate in relaxation, add on their signature facial or the Pomegranate and Cranberry Massage. Prices are reasonable, too.

a.r.t. Massage Body Spa

If massage is more about rejuvenating your spirit than getting the kinks out, visit this spa. Popular is the worthy Pamper Package, which involves a full-body brush treatment, a Mint Foot Mask, a unique herbal steam treatment and an hour-long massage. If time allows, complete your transformation with one of a.r.t.’s yoga classes, which are held behind the spa.
