Wellness Retreats: 8 Best Accommodations With Private Sauna in The U.S.

Whisk your lover away to The City That Never Sleeps for a steamy stay at The Dominick. The award-winning, five-star hotel will feel like a cocoon of wellness and romance — but if you get restless, the hustle and bustle of Brooklyn and Times Square are just a stone’s throw away. This NYC hotel hotspot is the best of both worlds.

After entering one of the spa suites on the 8th floor, drink in the views from the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the skyline. (Reserve in advance to snag the one with the decadent en suite private sauna!) Turn on the tap for a bath in the room’s deep soak tub, step into the giant marble rainfall shower big enough for two, or melt tension in the private sauna. If you tire of the in-room amenities, book a specially discounted treatment in Manhattan’s only luxury hammam or a rejuvenating facial in the Babor Signature Spa.

If the winter blues get you down, escape to the Florida Keys for your next romantic getaway. Whether you head down for a three-day weekend on the water or a full week relaxing in the balmy sunshine, you won’t get bored in the tropical master suite of The Gardens Hotel.

Throw open the verandah doors and let the ocean air in as you settle in for a romantic weekend in a place where spring break crowds are but a distant memory. In The Gardens Hotel’s master suite, you’ll have an entire living room, bedroom, outdoor space, private sauna, and intimate garden views to yourself. The Jacuzzi tub and double closets will have you ready to move in permanently.

Bend, Oregon, is a delight at any time of year. The air is crisp and clear. Pine trees and mountain peaks bristle in the background. A romantic winter escape here offers plenty of socially distanced outdoor activities — hiking, snowboarding, skiing — as well as a charming downtown to explore when the day is done.

Entrada Lodge might not be the most luxe accommodation in Bend, but it has all the trappings of wellness and relaxation that an outdoorsy couple could want. If you book the King Spa Sauna Room, you’ll be treated to a private Jacuzzi tub and private sauna. Spend the day mountain biking, stop into the local Broom Closet speakeasy for a drink, then head back to your room for an evening luxuriating in the bubbles and steam.

Is there anything so romantic as relaxing in front of a roaring fire, glass of wine in hand? Or perhaps you prefer a deep soak for two or getting steamy in your cottage’s private sauna? Regardless of how you like to turn up the heat, you can do it at the Farmhouse Inn, Sonoma.

Every one of the inn’s rooms is charming, but the Farmhouse King rooms pull out all the stops. Enjoy dinner at the Farmhouse Restaurant, which is led by a Michelin-starred chef, then head back to your retreat to enjoy another bottle of red or bubbly by the wood-burning fireplace. Take your pick of a soak in the jetted tub or a steam in the dry sauna. Cheers!

Imagine waking up to the blank gray-blue slate of the ocean, a sea breeze whistling outside as gulls circle overhead. Now imagine that, despite the cold blue Atlantic outside your window, you are cocooned safely inside with plush bedding, a flickering fire, a warm bath, and harbor views. Welcome to Chatham Bars Inn Resort & Spa.

This glittering jewel of Massachusetts has made a name for itself as one of the most luxurious romantic retreats in the region. The spa suites in particular — 12 of them in all, each one adults-only — include giant jetted tubs, steam showers, in-room saunas, and private fireplaces. If your in-room amenities don’t satisfy, stroll out to The Spa at Chatham Bars Inn, where you and your honey can book a side-by-side massage complete with sea buff exfoliation and essential oils.

Love it or hate it, Las Vegas is a city that sizzles with sex appeal. If you’re hoping to heat things up with your partner, why not check into the Aria Resort and Casino? Aside from the Sky Villas’ private saunas, the resort offers up the French ARIA Patisserie by day and the glittering ALIBI Ultra Lounge by night.

Though the resort and casino are packed with entertaining lounges and bars, the Sky Villas are packed with amenities that will thrill you even if you never leave your room. Surprise your partner with a private pool, sauna, and magnificent views of the neon lights of the Strip.

Most accommodations with private saunas pride themselves on other spa-like amenities. The Blue Lakes Inn, on the other hand, offers a no-frills dry sauna suite. This boutique hotel in Twin Falls, Idaho, has a simple, unassuming exterior. But when you walk in, you’ll find delightfully unique lodging, including family-style bunk rooms and whirlpool suites.

Inside the hotel’s sauna suite, try the dry, infrared sauna before sinking into the plush bed. Relax with your partner while making plans for the next day. Should you take a drive out to Craters of the Moon or stroll hand-in-hand toward the mist of Shoshone Falls? Adventures in nature are just around the corner from the Blue Lakes Inn.

When safety and privacy are top concerns, vacation rentals offer unparalleled peace of mind. In the case of this Riverfront Luxury Condo, in Colorado, you won’t even miss the attentive service and luxe trapping of a hotel. Just grab your bags and settle in for a weekend or week of mountain views, hot tub soaks, and steamy evenings in the in-room sauna.

Located two miles from the center of Avon and less than 10 miles from Vail, this rental is ideal for couples who love to ski, snowshoe, hike, or simply enjoy apres-ski without the work. Enjoy cozying up by the crackling fireplace, cooking gourmet dinners in the full kitchen (or hiring a private chef!), and, of course, stepping into the cool mountain air after a sauna session.
