Inside Aspira Spa at The Osthoff Resort

If you’re craving a reset that blends nature, thoughtful design, and full-body restoration, Aspira Spa at The Osthoff Resort delivers. Prepare yourself for a uniquely grounding experience in the heart of Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. Rooted in the elements of earth, water, fire, and air, this Midwest destination spa goes beyond traditional pampering, it invites you to slow down, reconnect, and truly exhale.

Journey into Wellness at the Aspira Spa

One of the standout features is the spa’s salt room, a tranquil space designed to support respiratory health and relaxation. The softly lit environment, paired with mineral-rich air, creates a meditative atmosphere that feels both restorative and transportive. It’s the kind of place where time softens and your nervous system finally catches up with you. 

For those seeking a more invigorating reset, Aspira’s contrast therapy experience delivers. Moving between hot and cold environments—think sauna sessions followed by a brisk cool-down—stimulates circulation, reduces inflammation, and leaves you feeling both energized and deeply relaxed. It’s an ideal complement to the spa’s more traditional offerings, which include expertly tailored massages, results-driven facials, and classic nail services.

Among the most compelling treatments is the Stone Crop & Aloe Rejuvenation Body Wrap, a soothing antidote for dry or sun-stressed skin. This cooling, plant-based treatment uses ingredients like aloe, stone crop, horsetail, and horse chestnut to hydrate, tone, and restore. A refreshing rinse is followed by a nourishing body oil blend featuring arnica, rosehip, avocado oil, and Indian gooseberry. It leaves the skin soft, replenished, and glowing. The experience is elevated with a scalp massage and cooling facial massage, making it as relaxing as it is restorative.

Look out for Aspira’s signature treatments, denoted on the menu like the body wrap described above. The body treatments, facials, and massages are special to the Aspira experience and play on local ingredients and inspiration of its beautiful surroundings. The treatments can range from high tech to spiritually grounding. The menu also has a wide range of spa classics, ensuring that everyone in your party finds something to enjoy. 

Come for the Day or Stay Awhile

Located just an hour north of Milwaukee, Aspira Spa at The Osthoff Resort is a serene lakeside retreat featuring both indoor and outdoor whirlpools, a sauna, meditation sanctuary, spa café, and weekly yoga classes. Spanning 22,000 square feet, the spa includes 22 treatment rooms and offers a full menu of services inspired by the region’s natural beauty. 

That’s why Aspira Spa is perfect for a day trip or a weekend away. In fact, the spa’s day pass is one of its best-kept secrets.
