Top Wellness Resorts on the East Coast 

From Maine to Florida, these East Coast wellness resorts are designed for self-care – whether that means lying awhile in Savasana, tucking into a delicious meal, or simply enjoying a change of scenery.

Miraval Berkshires Resort & Spa – Lenox, MA

The third wellness resort by Miraval, this outpost is located on the sprawling grounds of Wyndhurst Mansion in the Berkshires. At Miraval’s signature Life in Balance Spa, guests can opt for unique services like Naga, which incorporates hanging silks and assisted stretches, and Heart Song, in which you rock weightlessly in a warm dry-float bed. The spa also offers massages, skin treatments, and salon services. Dining options include the Life in Balance Culinary Kitchen where guests can partake in workshops and special events, and accommodations span Gilded Age-inspired guestrooms in the mansion, cottages, and carriage houses. Our editor, who recently visited Miraval, suggests trying a new experience during a stay — like Breathwork Journey or a Cocoon Meditation session with Spiritual Coach Mark Gerow.

Mirbeau Inn & Spa – Plymouth, MA

You’d hardly know you’re just outside of Boston at Mirbeau Inn & Spa, which feels more like a chateau in the South of France.

If you enjoy cooking at home (or just appreciate good food), you’ll love The Essex Resort & Spa. Chefs of all skill levels are encouraged to partake in classes at the onsite Cook Academy, where culinary professionals provide hands-on instruction. Another hallmark of The Essex is Junction, an award-winning, interactive dining experience in which chefs act as tour guides, providing recommendations based on their expertise and even preparing some meals tableside. The Essex also offers a spa, where offerings include CBD-infused treatments, pools, and a hot tub. And thanks to the resort’s location in northern Vermont, there are endless opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors year-round.

Chateau Elan Winery & Resort – Braselton, GA

The Greenbrier – White Sulphur Springs, WV

The Greenbrier has served as a wellness retreat for centuries, first attracting guests to its restorative sulphur springs and today to its world-renowned spa.

Medical spa services are also available. In addition to the spa, guests enjoy a variety of restaurants, a casino, shopping, golf, and special holiday events. Take time for a tour of the storied resort, which served as a hospital during World War II and a top-secret bunker for members of Congress during the Eisenhower administration.

Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa – Manalapan, FL

An exclusive escape in Palm Beach, this oceanfront resort is the ultimate place to unplug in Florida. Dig your toes in the sand and listen to the waves crash ashore – your choice of drink in hand – from your private cabana, or while away your days by the oceanfront pool. Reservations at the Eau Spa – where choices range from HydraFacials to a Champagne and Caviar Couples Journey – are a must. Opt to enjoy your treatment in a Private Garden Villa before relaxing in the Self Centered Garden with private cabanas, pools and refreshments.
