The Best Spa and Wellness Hotels in Napa Valley, California

Carneros Resort’s guest-only spa plants wellness seekers in the middle of the healing Napa countryside. However, there’s nothing “country” about the decor. With a herringbone-tiled fireplace, the sophisticated lounge has doors opening up onto a patio with lounge chairs. Skilled therapists specialize in de-stressing treatments, such as the Quiet Mind massage that includes essential oils and techniques to release muscle tension and clear the mind. Problem skin? The Clarify skincare treatment leaves it healthy and balanced. Athletic guests can stay on the front foot throughout their stay with Theragun massage tool rentals, walks and runs through vineyards and free yoga on a platform overlooking pastoral rolling hills.

The spacious, airy rooms at Downtown Napa’s River Terrace Inn – a city hotel mixed with a wine-country getaway – have been designed with relaxation in mind. Even some entry-level rooms have jetted bathtubs and balconies with river views. Still, it’s all about the Junior Suites, featuring dual-sided fireplaces next to king-size beds with fluffy mattresses that encourage rest and rejuvenation. While River Terrace Inn doesn’t have a spa, deep-tissue or aromatherapy massages can be done in the comfort of guest rooms. And fitness enthusiasts can break a sweat in the gym with Precor treadmills, ellipticals and foam rollers. The hotel encourages you to visit lesser-known Napa sites, such as the 217-acre (88ha) di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art, with its olive trees, vineyards, lake and numerous artworks.

Created by a visionary with more than 30 years of experience in luxury spas, the spa at downtown Calistoga’s Mount View Hotel has one of the valley’s most transformational treatment menus. Dozens of holistic options include a Himalayan salt-stone massage that reduces inflammation and a CBD wrap with mind-lulling sound healing (indeed, Mount View Spa is a big proponent of the healing benefits of CBD). Spa-goers can take a dip in the heated pool or relax in the mineral whirlpool. Built in 1919, the hotel has Mission Revival architecture and art deco interiors with curved burgundy-colored sofas, richly patterned wallpapers and textiles, and gleaming light fixtures.

For a more humble but no less relaxing stay, you should check into the 13-room EuroSpa and Inn in Calistoga. The shaded property has rooms in various one-story buildings, an outdoor heated pool and a hot tub. The tidy guest rooms feature country-inspired decor, whirlpool tubs, woodstove fireplaces and redwood decks with bistro chairs. You can take breakfast or sip wine at sunset next to an outdoor fireplace on the large covered terrace. The Old Faithful Geyser of California is just a little more than 2mi (3km) away and makes an excellent picnic spot.

SENZA Hotel will immerse you in the valley’s natural splendor. The hotel has a backdrop of mountains, vineyards and redwood trees, and guest rooms are spread across five separate buildings, including a 19th-century mansion. All rooms have French doors that open onto patios for watching soft pink sunrises or fiery sunsets over Napa. Large two-story SENZA Lofts have open-concept bedrooms and bathrooms with balconies overlooking the vineyard, a professional kitchen, a living area with a sofa bed and fireplace. Suites with heated floors and king rooms are also available. SENZA Spa’s treatments include full facials and massages, and the nightly wine and cheese hour and firepit gathering allow you to relax the Napa way.
