The 2025 holidays and all the parties, stress and gastric indulgences are over!
It’s time to unwind, rediscover, transform, replenish. If words like these sound and feel good to say right now, you’re in the mood for a luxury spa vacation. Over the years, after helping so many travelers across the country, GO Airport Shuttle has learned about some of the best getaway vacation retreats in the U.S. We can make it a vacation getting to and from all your airport connections, too. Each one varies in the services they offer, but you’re always at the very center of every relaxing thing they do.
Sit back and begin your journey of wellness and rediscovery with any of the places listed below. You’ll feel better just reading about them. An added bonus for our northern customers, many of these spa getaways are located warmer climes, like Arizona, California, Texas and Florida.
The Miraval Miracle
Located near Tucson and Austin, the Miraval folks offer “Life in Balance,” with over 30 years of wellness experience. The Arizona location offers many different specialized services from Vasudhara spa treatments, to Thai stretches and warm-water floats, or drum meditation and equine training. Not to mention relaxing outback hikes.
The Austin location sits in the middle of Texas Hill Country, so in addition to many of the same personal massage and relaxation events, they offer hiking through lush, rolling hills, plus the Quantum Leap, a Blue Heron challenge course with rope climbs and archery. It’s all-day nourishment of body and soul.
The Ranch/East Coast or West
The Ranch goes for a whole-health philosophy—integrating nutrition, fitness, nature, rest and community, all together. In other words, they have you covered for all your spiritual and physical needs. There’s one Ranch in Malibu, California and one in the Hudson Valley, New York. Daily massage, yoga, meditation, plus infrared saunas and hydrotherapy pools. Mountain views everywhere. Life might seem far away when you’re at The Ranch, but their goal is really to get you back into it.
Four Seasons/Orlando
You wouldn’t think you could find a lot of rest and relaxation at Walt Disney World®, but the Four Seasons beckons with exclusive spa therapies and advanced aesthetic services. Restorative facials and vitamin drips, bring back the hidden you inside. Exfoliations, haircare, peptides, and much more. This is one of the finest head-to-toe spa experiences in all off Florida, in any season, but especially in Winter.
Kohler Waters Spa
Who says you have to head South or West to get away? The people who really know how to relax you with water started the Kohler Waters Spa over 25 years ago. Located just north of Milwaukee, the Kohler Waters Spa is the only 5-star spa in Wisconsin. Your holistic rejuvenation begins with a digital device-free environment as you enter their winter resilience retreat, with hydrotherapy services and an elegant thermal suite. It’ll feel like that moment when you really don’t want to get out of a warm shower, but last all day long.
A Calming, Soothing Breeze in the Windy City
High up over the Magnificent Mile in Chicago sits a peninsula of peacefulness. The Peninsula Spa and Wellness Center is geared for people who need a break from their routine. With treatments inspired by Ayurvedic and Asian traditions, you’ll feel relaxed and rejuvenated and ready for whatever comes next. Newly redesigned in 2025, they’ve introduced several exclusive treatments, such as Biologique Recherche Second Skin Facials. As a convenience for the busy urban professional, they offer Half Day Spas for De-Stressing, Men and Mothers To-Be.
Your own chateau
It starts as an award-winning winery and exceptional culinary destination, but that’s just the beginning of what Chateau Elan, just north of Atlanta, offers. Covering 3,500 acres, with golf, pool and tennis activities aplenty, there’s also a world renown spa with private guest suites. Wine is ever present; over 30 different varieties to sample. Plus, five chef-driven restaurants. This is where the French spirit and style of rest and relaxation meets Southern charm and hospitality. Nice combo.
An urban oasis in Utah
The Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City is definitely a grand way to reset and rewind. With sparkling views of the nearby Wasatch mountains, there’s even Snowbasin skiing opportunities, if you want to venture out in the cold. Every aspect of this hotel was designed with you in mind. The Grand Spa offers custom massage, facial and salon services, including Wellness classes, as well as yoga, meditation and sound baths. Plus an indoor pool overlooking surprisingly energetic Salt Lake City. Who says you need a resort in the countryside to rejuvenate?
Oasis in the Las Vegas desert
The Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa in nearby Henderson features the recently opened Ageless Humans Longevity Spa & Salon. Expect the latest wellness technologies and techniques and premier spa treatments to help you relax and re-create yourself. Not far from the Strip, too, if you’re so inclined. A special program package is available until February 13: the Stay-Spa & Unwind the Ageless Way. Feeling younger already!
The top wellness resort in the Americas? Tucson!
How’s that for a promise? Every week in January the Canyon Ranch Tucson offers something different, from Strength and Balance in Fitness sessions to Movement and Mindset with Dr. Vonda Wright to specialized Training with Kira Stokes. Every aspect of your well-being is nurtured: How you exercise, what to eat, the joys of meditation, surrounded by the restful quiet stillness of the Sonoran Desert. Their Personal Discovery Package allows you to choose from 35 guest-favorite services, like Coconut Melts and Body Composition Screenings or VENN Collagen Facials. You’ll “leave with a path forward,” they say. (They have a sister property in Lenox, Massachusetts, about a hour north of Hartford, Connecticut, but something tells us it’s very cold there right now.)
That’s a pretty good list to get you started on planning your own personal journey of rest and relaxation away from the woes of Winter. A great way to start 2026! Trust GO Airport Shuttle to help you on both ends of your journey. We can’t wait to see how you return home from anyone of these luxury spa getaways. Enjoy!
