The Spa at Silverado Though the facility is new, this luxurious facility has taken on the mantle of grande dame of spas in the Napa Valley. If it is a spa treatment in luxe surroundings you are after, the Spa at Silverado will do everything you can imagine and more. Rather than even begin to list their offerings here, give them a call and let them extol their own virtues. They are well earned, and that may be a great understatement. Set aside a half day or a day and get pampered. You’re worth it.

Greenhaus European Day Spa For an experience that combines the sensual with the healthy, the facial treatments at Greenhaus in downtown Napa are widely (and wildly) acclaimed. From the comprehensive Harmony Facial with Back Treatment to the Seaweed Lifting Mask, the treatments are all but guaranteed to leave you (in the words of one departing customer) “all a-tingle.” The prices are reasonable, the staff pleasant and skilled, the location convenient and just a stone’s toss from the Napa River Inn. Add a massage or a Dead Sea Mud Wrap and it’s as close as you can come to giving your body a two week vacation without ever getting on a plane.

Health Spa Napa Valley The message from our spa reviewer on voicemail said, “I’m never leaving here. Send money.” We found out later she had just finished with the 50 minute Abhyanga treatment where two trained therapists work in synchronized motion for what manager Eric Chesky calls a “four hand massage.” Add in the warm bindi oil they use and you’ll understand her sentiments exactly. Weather permitting they also have outdoor treatment rooms in a garden setting. Just reading the comprehensive list of treatments is therapy in itself. Are you worth it? Of course you are.

White Sulphur Springs Resort & Spa This is a step back in time, and a delightful one at that. You go to White Sulphur Springs for the relaxing, therapeutic treatments surrounded by the woods above St. Helena. Towering fir trees, a babbling brook and the sounds of birds (and the unique smell of sulphur from the springs – you get used to it) make up the ambience. If you want relaxation without the frills this getaway of a spa may be the answer, and at a reasonable price.

Patti Renspurger Massage Therapist Sometimes what you want is a massage. No fountains, no fireplaces, no Roman columns or mud baths, just a simple, wonderful massage – Swedish, deep tissue or Shiatsu. Maybe a body scrub as well. In that case local massage therapist Patti Renspurger is often the choice of locals. Located in downtown Napa, she will also do massage treatments at lodgings that do not offer their own massage service. Prices are reasonable and the charm is personable and sincere.
