This month only: sample every luxury in the country’s 1st spa town
By January, after all the holiday hustle and bustle, you may be in need of a little “me” time.
Good thing it’s also the best time to visit Berkeley Springs, the nation’s first spa town.
The town celebrates Spa and Wellness month with a January Spa Feast: a sampler of all sorts of deals, discounts, packages and events.
Get a lot of a little pampering!
You won’t believe all the pampering you can get on a budget this month! Many of the local spa deals give you mini-sessions of several luxuries all for one reduced rate. That way, you get to try a little of everything.
What can you try? Think the whole royal treatment: start with spa essentials like massages, manicures, paraffin dips, facials and more, then add indulgent extras like champagne, gourmet meals, elegant accommodations and more.
And if you sink into blissful daydreaming during your massage, you can always win more soothing spa services at Berkeley Springs State Park.
Or just book more time to savor it longer!
