Great Escape: Spa Day

Each week, we'll find Great Escapes for you that will pamper, renew and refresh yourself so you can keep taking care of those you love.

We have had months and months of shoveling heavy snow, chipping away at ice and spending hours building snowmen in the yard.

All of that winter activity is sure to have your back, and perhaps your spirits, in knots.

Women (and men) can go to the spa by themselves for themselves, or make it a group experience with friends.

While Solimar can accommodate groups of up to 25, groups of 8-12 seem to work the best in terms of making sure everyone stays connected, according to Larson.  Group Coordinators are happy to discuss what everyone is looking for to ensure that all needs are met. They will also suggest dates or work with your group and staff to make your group’s experience memorable.

If you or your group plans to make the spa all-day event, Solimar coordinates with for your lunch.  You may select what you would like, and the staff will order your meal and deliver it to you for a separate fee.

Solimar’s Wellness coordinators and technicians have advanced training to take the best care of people in all of life’s situations. From cancer patients and people with fibromyalgia to people undergoing life changes, the staff at Solimar can help you with your personal needs.

Some of the most popular services include the relaxation/deep tissue massage, microdermabrasion and specialized pedicures, Larson said.

For those that haven't had a spa experience before and are curious but nervous, Solimar is prepared. Relax before and after your treatments in a complimentary steam shower, get comfortable in your robe and socks, and let your expert technician take care of you. The Solimar technicians are experts at draping and relaxing the first time jitters out of clients and will have them feeling wonderful in no time, Larson said..
