Thankfully, I’ve discovered a luxe spa right here in New York City that’s just as skilled at undoing all my stress as any exotic wellness destination. I’m not the only one: Many Allure editors have had the privilege of traveling to beauty and wellness hubs across the globe (Costa Rica, Korea, France, Japan, to name a few), but we’ve found that some of the best spas are right here in our home base and the surrounding area. With services ranging from high-tech massages to luxe pedicures and decadent baths, our favorite spots are as diverse as they are soothing. But they do have a few things in common: a calming atmosphere, highly trained professionals, effective treatments, comfy robes, and great-tasting cucumber water (kidding, but also…not kidding). Transparently, many of us have visited these destinations, courtesy of brands or the spas themselves. But we’ve all returned (or will) to these spots on our own dime because they’re just that good. Here, eight spas in the New York City area that we think are totally worth it.
