The Ultimate NYC Spa Dates: Relax, Rejuvenate, & Unwind with Me
As much as I love the energy and glamour of New York City, nothing beats escaping into an oasis of calm amidst the urban hustle. I adore spa dates—there's something so intimate and luxurious about sharing a serene, indulgent experience together. Whether we're soaking in ancient baths, indulging in gold-infused facials, or enjoying an outdoor hot tub with skyline views, the city's best spas offer a perfect blend of relaxation and romance. Let me take you through my favorite spots for a truly unforgettable spa date. 🌸✨
AIRE Ancient Baths, Tribeca
Tucked away in a restored 19th-century Tribeca building, AIRE Ancient Baths transports you to another world the moment you walk through the doors. Imagine us slipping into one of the various thermal pools, floating together in the candlelit salt bath, or cozying up in the hot tub before indulging in their signature four-hand massage. The ambiance here is simply magical—it's an old-world haven in the heart of Manhattan, where we can get lost in time while being pampered like royalty.
SPA DE LA MER at the Baccarat Hotel, Midtown
For an ultra-luxe experience, nothing quite compares to Spa de La Mer at the Baccarat Hotel. This place is as glamorous as it sounds, blending classic French elegance with a high-end skincare experience like no other. La Mer products work wonders for the skin, so we'll both walk out glowing! Imagine us enjoying a signature Miracle Broth facial, feeling refreshed and looking radiant. The crystal decor adds an extra touch of opulence, making it the perfect place for us to escape the busy streets and indulge in some much-needed self-care.
Make it a 24 hour date by booking a hotel stay with afternoon tea at the hotel’s Grand Salon, a stroll through Central Park, a jaunt to MoMA across the way, and dinner at Michelin-starred Aquavit or The Modern.
Great Jones Spa, NoHo
A hidden gem in NoHo, Great Jones Spa offers a tranquil escape with its gorgeous water lounge. We'll be soaking in the hot and cold plunge pools, unwinding in the steam room, or lounging by the waterfall after a deep tissue massage. It’s the perfect place to balance out our busy schedules, with just the right amount of zen vibes. And if we're feeling adventurous, we could try their therapeutic "water circuit," which has been known to relax every inch of your body.
SHIBUI Spa at The Greenwich Hotel, Tribeca
The SHIBUI Spa is my absolute favorite when I'm craving something unique. Located in The Greenwich Hotel, this spa is a true Japanese-inspired sanctuary. The wooden pool, handmade from Japanese cedar, feels intimate and calming, setting the stage for us to truly relax together. Their shiatsu massages are divine, and the setting feels like a peaceful retreat in the heart of Tribeca. This spa is all about balance and tranquility—perfect for a quiet, rejuvenating escape.
Bathhouse, Williamsburg
This sleek, industrial-chic spa in Williamsburg is a modern-day paradise, offering everything from muscle-melting massages to Turkish and Russian-style baths. I love the laid-back, social vibe of Bathhouse Williamsburg—perfect for unwinding after a long day of exploring the city. Their heated marble slabs are perfect for stretching out, and we can alternate between the hot baths and cold plunges to reset our senses. And, with their new location in Flatiron, we now have a second spot to relax and recharge in the city. The treatments here are tailored to melt away any stress, and trust me, you'll leave feeling like a brand new person.
Bathhouse, Flatiron
The newest addition to the Bathhouse family, their Flatiron location brings all the elements I love about the Williamsburg spa into the heart of Manhattan. The atmosphere is modern and chic, and the treatments are even better. Whether we're enjoying a luxurious massage, detoxing in the sauna, or soaking in one of their unique baths, it's the perfect place for us to reconnect, unwind, and pamper ourselves to the fullest.
SoJo Spa Club, New Jersey
If you're looking to step just outside the city for a full day of relaxation, SoJo Spa Club in Edgewater, New Jersey, is where we should go. With stunning views of the NYC skyline and multiple floors of spa experiences, we could easily spend hours here. From the infinity pool overlooking the river to the open-air hydrotherapy baths, SoJo offers a variety of global wellness treatments. We'll hop from the sauna to the salt room, enjoy a soothing couple's massage, and end our day gazing at the sunset from their rooftop hot tub—bliss.
Each of these spas brings its own unique vibe, and I can’t wait to share one (or more!) of them with you. Whether we’re floating in ancient waters or indulging in a gold-infused facial, our time together will be the ultimate retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. Let’s treat ourselves—because we deserve it! 💆♀️💖
