An hour from the nation’s capitol, in Middleburg, Virginia is an exquisite retreat fit for the affluent of the world. As Salamander guests walk to their rooms, they must pass the water feature and artwork between the curtains of the spa that mystically calls each name and beckons entry. Many locals come for a daycation to replenish their mind, body and soul. Amenities are upscale incorporating nature inside and out, producing an instant sense of relaxation. Men’s and Ladies’ separate areas are spacious and well appointed with Jacuzzis, aromatic steam rooms and sunlit relaxation seating. Virginia is for lovers and this is exemplified by the exclusive Couples Suite experience. Advance time is given to relax with one another before treatments in a privately enclosed garden patio with outdoor Jacuzzi. Inside the suite, a large shower or sunken tub is shared and a cozy fireplace warms on cooler days, double sided from the bath to the treatment area, preparing for the dream state when the professionally trained masseuses take you into never, never, land
with well being massages on side by side tables. The salon is fully equipped with hair and makeup styling stations or manis and pedis. Finish the day off by lounging at the adult infinity pool with cabana service, exclusive for spa guests. Light fare is scrumptious along with wines, juices or “juicetails” like the Zentric.
