8 Romantic Spas Around the U.S. for Hot & Steamy Dates

Intense heat and sticky, gross humidity can totally kill the vibe of a date. Traveling to meet up with someone only to sweat through the entirety of your outfit? Not a good look. But what if you’re actively looking for that hot and steamy environment? Whether single or already coupled up, one way to fuse all that sultriness with a little steam is with a spa day.

These 8 holistic havens below, located all around the United States, range from urban wellness centers to remote ranches, all guaranteed to keep things especially sexy no matter what time of year it is. Whether celebrating an anniversary or just looking to try something new with a brand new partner, you can’t go wrong with an indulgent date idea like this one.

1. Sojo Spa

So Jo Spa

Location: Edgewater, NJ

While there are surely an abundance of places in the heart of New York City, SoJo Spa in Edgewater is the best one in the Tri-State Area. Located along the Hudson River, SoJo Spa is a multistory wellness retreat with killer views of the Manhattan skyline, visible from every level of the colossal compound.

Following Korean philosophy, SoJo requires guests to check in their shoes and clothes upon entering the building, donning pristine white robes (over bathing suits, of course, but it adds a fun suggestive layer). There are dozens of pools, saunas and therapy rooms located around the spa, allowing couples to dip into the soothing silk bath before taking obligatory pictures in the infinity pool.

Every treatment spot at SoJo is far cooler than your boring gym sauna, including the Charcoal Sauna, Himalayan Salt Sauna and White Clay Sauna. After sweating out all of your toxins, you have the opportunity to hit the Ice Room, a welcome respite during an otherwise dreary day. There are various add-on treatments, too, like a Volcanic Sand Bath or couples massages, but standard entry is $80 per person on the weekend — worth every penny.

2. The Rittenhouse Spa & Club

The Rittenhouse Spa & Club

Location: Philadelphia, PA

The Rittenhouse Spa is located in the swanky Rittenhouse Hotel in Philadelphia’s historic square of the same name. Whether you’re a local Philly couple or just a weary traveler looking for an elegant staycation and spa experience, it’s worth checking out this oasis of calm in the heart of bustling Center City. The Unity Suite is an intimate room where you and your loved one can unwind in private; try the Rittenhouse Luxe Ritual, a new 120-minute blissful sequence of body exfoliation, body wrap, hot oil scalp treatment and shea butter massage before washing off together post-treatment in the suite’s double rain shower.

Guys can try out one of the many men’s grooming services by Paul Labrecque, from a mint menthol scalp revitalizer to a facial and hot shave. Leave relaxed, romanced and with a fresh cut to boot. Price for this treatment: $300.

3. The Spa at Barnsley Resort

The Spa at Barnsley Resort

Location: Adairsville, GA

Those looking to relax and completely disconnect from the outside world will love the Spa at Barnsley Resort in northwest Georgia. Only about an hour from downtown Atlanta, Barnsley is set on 3,000 scenic acres and fully embraces the outdoors lifestyle with horseback riding, golf, fishing, biking, and even clay shooting.

After a day spent exploring the nearby Blue Ridge Mountains, you and your partner can unwind in an 80-minute couples massage. Our recommendation? Try the Barnsley Bamboo massage, which uses gently warmed bamboo sticks varying in dimension to break down tension and stretch tight muscles, starting at $165 per person.

4. AVEDA at the Palms Hotel & Spa

Location: Miami, FL

Even with its occasional sweltering temperatures, you can still find the sea breeze in South Florida at the Palms Hotel & Spa on the shores of Miami Beach. The hotel’s AVEDA spa has a private suite for couples with its own shower (with side jet settings), while treatments can be enjoyed outside an an open-air tiki cabana.

The Journey Into Love package (perfect for two, as you can infer from the name) includes a 50-minute side-by-side massage, mani/pedi and a bento box for two for $450 per couple.

5. Spa at MacArthur Place

Spa at MacArthur Place

Location: Sonoma Valley, CA

Sonoma Valley is undeniably seductive — endless warm days, boozy wine tastings and intimate moments among the vineyards. Sonoma is more laid-back than neighboring Napa Valley, providing plenty of opportunities for relaxation and wine sipping … and spa days, as you may have guessed.

MacArthur Place is the ideal wine country retreat, acting as a recently renovated ranch hotel with indulgent treatments in its tranquil new relaxation center. Menu items incorporate ingredients from the property’s garden, dubbed “farm to massage table.” The Wine Country Romance package is 100 minutes of a couples massage, couples body wrap or scrub and a spa gift, all for $269.

The hotel is a stone’s throw from many great wineries, too, such as Scribe or Buena Vista, so it’d be easy to indulge in a spa treatment after a day of tastings.

6. The Spa at the Francis Maine

Spa at the Francis Maine

Location: Portland, ME

Although a CBD massage is something that you’d expect to find in the other Portland, the Spa at the Francis Hotel in Portland, Maine offers this (and more) for couples looking to pamper themselves in New England’s up-and-coming city.

The 15-room boutique hotel is located in a historic red brick building in Portland’s West End, with trendy mid-century modern furnishings and a small-yet-delightful spa, perfect after a day of coastal adventures and craft beers. The CBD massage is designed for targeted relief from pain and inflammation, starting at $115 per person. Couples can also mix and match their day of relaxation with other options that include deep tissue and therapeutic massages.

If you and your partner are into the spiritual side of things, try out the spa’s Reiki sessions for energetic healing and revitalizing.

7. Lake Austin Spa Resort

Lake Austin Spa Resort

Location: Austin, TX

Lake Austin Spa Resort proves that everything really is bigger in Texas. This massive, 25,000-square-foot spa hotel sits on Lake Austin, about 45 minutes from downtown — the perfect day getaway from Austin’s vibrantly weird vibes.

The Lake Austin Spa Resort luckily provides boat transportation from downtown to its idyllic grounds, and couples can choose from a half or a full spa day with over 100 treatments available. Seriously, there is actually something for everyone. The Austin 360 Spa experience is the ultimate splurge with 3 hours of bubbly-sipping and extreme pampering in the spa’s exclusive Bamboo Suite. Options include a lemongrass mimosa or espresso mud (it’s better than it sounds) body scrubs and deep tissue massages, all for a total price of $1,450.

This option, while pricier than the others, is great for special occasions like an anniversary or milestone birthday when you’re looking to really impress.

8. Poseidon Spa at the Mansion

Poseidon Spa at the Mansion

Location: Forsyth Park in Savannah, GA

Savannah, GA, with its antebellum manors and overflowing Spanish moss, has enough southern charm to rival its northern neighbor Charleston.

Couples digging the low-key delights of this area will especially love the Poseidon Spa at the Mansion on Forsyth Park, most appreciated after a long day of exploring the tree-lined cobblestone streets. Tucked into one of the city’s most historic hotels, the Poseidon Spa channels Savannah’s sleepiness with soothing couples treatments. Choose any massage on the menu at your leisure, and make it a date for only a small upcharge that also includes a glass of bubbly.

The signature Detox Body Treatment costs $150 per guest and includes a massage, dry exfoliation, nutritive body wrap and a Phyto clay masque to brighten and tone the skin.
