Three hot Jacuzzi pools, cold and tepid pools with a waterfall (oh my), eucalyptus steam room, 3 dry saunas, a relaxation room with wood stove and zero gravity lounge chairs, massages, and treatments of all types. A perfect day in snowy conditions!! When you are in the hot pools you have a perfect view of a rushing creek running by the spa. Very idyllic and so refreshing!!

With hot saunas and steam baths inside, hot and cold pools outside as well and relaxation tents and a Finnish sauna, they also provide massages, facials and everything else you'd expect at a spa. They have an amazing after 5pm deal which allows you to use their facilities for a mere $23. Bring your bathing suit, bathrobe, flip flops and home facial masks. I usually do the sauna, then the cold waterfall river dip, then the relaxation room circuit about three times to get the full effect and then chill out in their atriums with my mask on and shower everything off afterwards. Watching the waterfalls while inside inside the hot sauna, and then dipping into the frigid waters afterwards, will kickstart anyone's system. You will walk out a new person.

Relaxing here was a wonderful experience from start to finish! I called a day ahead to make a…read moremassage appointment and reserve an arrival time. The person I spoke with was very nice and helpful and fluent in English and French. She reviewed the rules and explained what we would need to bring, took my payment information, and sent a confirmation email. The spa was easy to find along the main road, and had ample free parking in front of the building. When we checked in, I showed the email at the registration desk and everything went smoothly. The staff member gave me flip flops to wear and keep, and a locker key attached to a wristband. She gave us an orientation and pointed out the different spa areas. Complementary caffeinate-free herbal tea was available and it was delicious! The facility is clean and beautiful, with views of the river and surrounding hills. We loved soaking in the hot water pools and then doing a quick plunge in the cold pool, followed by resting in the super comfortable hammocks. My massage therapist was attentive and skilled. We would love the opportunity to come here again!

Came here for the Twilight session with my sisters & we had a great, relaxing time, staying until…read more9:30 PM, lolling in the long, narrow, nicely-heated jacuzzi pool as we watched the deer cross the field by the lake @ the bottom of the hill (except for the lake, which was closed for the evening, & its lakehouse, most amenities are on & built into a hill). It was so soothing & ethereal. I tried out the very cold, plunge pool multiple times since I have read of its ice cold "rejuvenating powers" & it certainly was invigorating. We also spent time in the Moroccan-themed pods, enjoyed the steam room (we skipped the sauna), the waterfall pool &, capped off our Zen evening sitting by the firepit, perusing the night sky for shooting stars. Although we thought that the obligatory tip added to our bill/reservation was a tad high, our evening of pools with their ubiquitous & strong jacuzzi jets, star/mountain & deer gazing & quietude (there is a dedicated "shhh" person who walks around, reminding folks to not talk) was worth the price. You will be supplied with terry robes & showers are available to rinse off as well as lockers, as well as a dining area. Enjoy your time here as we did!

I went to Balnea a couple of weeks ago for a girls weekend. The spa itself is stunning!…read more Unfortunately, when it came to the massage, it was one of the worst massages I've ever had. The masseuse was barely touching me and when I repeatedly asked him to put more pressure, he ignored my requests. I had to show him where my knots were and even with that he wasn't working on them . The room was also so cold that my extremities were absolutely freezing. Apparently they lost power for the morning which likely contributed to this. At check out, they offered everybody 50% off of their thermal bath experience due to the power outage. But when. I told the manager about my massage experience he basically gave me a stink face and said they can't do anything about it. overall, I'd give the landscape and the outdoor facilities 5/5, but the customer service and massage is what brought my review down to a 2/5. Too bad..

Just walking through the door into the storefront where you check in for your treatment is cathartic on its own with soothing smells, good lighting, and kind smiles from welcoming staff. The [very clean] locker rooms are equipped with everything you'd expect from a quality spa (soft robes, great showers, top-notch toiletries, hairdryers, etc). The relaxation room is warm (in every sense of the word) and calming. There are lounge chairs covered in pillows right by a fireplace with a gorgeous view of Stowe Mountain. There are snacks, handbagged tea, and icy cold coconut water. It's a perfect place to start your unwinding journey. The water lounge is like it was taken out of a magazine, and if I hadn't already been signed up for a salt scrub, I would have spent much of my time in there. The steam room is dimly lit with the sounds of a rainstorm, the steam infused with eucalyptus. The sauna smells like a cherry wood forest and the natural warmth from the himalayan salts inside is grounding. My actual treatment was otherworldly, which is what my therapist told me it would be; she kept her word. I'm running out of words to describe it, but I will say that I felt like I had shed my skin like a snake and that both my skin and spirit were completely renewed. I cannot recommend this spa more. If you're in the area, don't miss it.

You might be the one to deal with it (eg no where to put your things, too many dirty drink glasses on vanity no where to sit or find a quiet spot. Not really a "Spa" feel as a result.
