Asheville Salt Cave
This therapeutic, sustainable and growing salt cave features 20 tons of pure pink salt within a microclimate saturated with negative ions, releasing scores of trace elements and minerals essential to the body’s balance.

For an immersive, in-town indulgence, head to the Grove Park Inn’s subterranean spa. The spa boasts 20 water features – including two therapeutic waterfall pools and a lap pool with underwater music – enveloped in cavernous rock walls, arches and tunnels. With skin care, body treatments, wellness pods, and foot treatments, as well as spa day passes, there’s no shortage of opportunities to sit back and relax.
Still Point Wellness
Visitors to this spa’s float lab tank can experience deep states of relaxation as they float atop 1,500 pounds of Epsom salt. The salt helps to release muscle tension, while the sensory deprivation of floatation allows the mind to unwind. Also available are sessions in Esalen massage, for deep relaxation and integration of body, mind and spirit.
Hot Springs Resort and Spa
This spa’s hot tubs, along the banks of Spring Creek and the French Broad River, are supplied with a continuous flow of natural mineral water, heated deep within the earth and famed for its healing qualities. A range of massages is also offered. Visitors to the 100-acre resort and spa, 45 minutes from Asheville, can make a weekend of their experience by staying in one of the resort’s luxury suites or camping cabins, or at its campground.
