The Spa at Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail

Travel

The allure of Vail extends far beyond its world-class skiing opportunities. The après-ski activities are equally compelling, with a standout being the chance to rejuvenate at The Spa at Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail.

This luxurious spa is meticulously designed to echo Colorado’s natural beauty. The space, encompassing the lounge, treatment areas, and locker rooms, is adorned with stone walls and bathed in warm, natural light. A soothing beige and brown color scheme highlights the mountain spirit this spa embodies.

The outdoor hot tubs and heated pool, surrounded by aspen trees and seasonal flowers, provide stunning views of the peaks, enhancing your relaxation experience. You can also unwind next to the grand stone fireplace, sipping herbal tea after indulging in the superb services offered by this Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star spa.

One distinctive feature of this spa is its use of beer and bourbon in treatments. The hops that give beer its flavor are surprisingly beneficial for skin care, leading to the creation of unique ‘brew and renew’ packages. There is also an impressive list of treatments specifically crafted for men.

Seasonal specials keep the offerings fresh and provide an excuse to revisit the spa throughout the year. However, remember that the spa area is exclusively open to those who have booked a service. This is something you wouldn’t want to miss when visiting Vail.

The peak season, from November to April, sees travelers thronging to Vail for Christmas, New Year’s Eve, Presidents’ Day, and Spring Break. Early booking is advised due to high demand during this period. Despite the winter temperatures averaging in the low teens early in the morning and late at night, there is no shortage of activities to keep you entertained.

In summer, Vail comes alive with the Teva Mountain Games, hiking, biking, rafting, fly-fishing, and summer concerts at the Gerald Ford Amphitheater.

Local themes inspire many treatments at the spa. ‘The Spirit of the Rockies’ combines a face and body mask of clay, corn, and balsam fir with a massage using warmed river stones. ‘Alpine Rejuvenation’ uses the scent of evergreen trees to enhance an earthen mask, exfoliation, and massage. The Four-Star spa’s extra-luxe facials, featuring the renowned Natura Bissé skincare line, are perfect for treating snow-burned skin. The Intraceuticals Oxygen Rejuvenation Facial is especially effective for revitalizing dull skin in Vail’s high-altitude climate.

Post-treatment, you’re invited to enjoy the luxury spa’s amenities, including a long indoor hot tub with soothing waterfall features, sauna, and steam room. Women can avail themselves of hair styling and nail services at the salon, while a barbershop caters to men. The fitness center boasts top-of-the-line equipment for a vigorous workout, followed by a rejuvenating session in the sauna.
