Large, freshwater Lake Tahoe is in the picturesque Sierra Nevada mountains, where striking alpine retreats can be found. There is no better place to practice self-care so take your pick from heated outdoor pools and unique treatment options like gemstone massages or floatation tanks at the best spa hotels in Lake Tahoe.

1. Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort Spa & Casino, for year-round decadence

The Hyatt Resort can be experienced year-round. In summer, lounge on the private beach or hike the trailheads. In winter, hit the slopes. Slip into the heated outdoor pool, even when it’s snowing, with guests able to enter from inside the resort. The calming spa embraces the four elements, harnessing the power of nature to promote wellness. After a relaxing massage or facial, drift away in the flotation therapy tank, or laze next to the fire in the relaxation area, cuddled up in a cozy robe.

2. The Lodge At Edgewater Tahoe, for unique treatments
