Journey Through Time at The Spa of Colonial Williamsburg

The Spa of Colonial Williamsburg offers a truly unique wellness experience steeped in centuries of tradition and refined luxury. Of course, this is what you could expect when you step into Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia. This elegant retreat, located just steps from the Williamsburg Inn and Williamsburg Lodge, invites guests to immerse themselves in a serene environment where classic healing rituals meet modern spa innovation. Recognized as a Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star Spa, it blends a deeply relaxing atmosphere with treatments that echo practices from the 17th through the 21st centuries. 

Spa Treatments & Signature Experiences

The Spa of Colonial Williamsburg is built around the concept of “centuries of wellness,” offering a menu that channels historical healing practices across different eras. Guests can choose from deeply restorative rituals inspired by each century. For example: 

• The 17th-Century Replenish experience includes a traditional dry brush technique, a mineral-rich bath, and a Himalayan salt stone massage to echo the healing springs of early America.
• The 18th-Century Repose leans into lavender and magnesium-infused baths, followed by a soothing massage in Shea butter, a nod to the calming botanicals used during that era. 
• The 21st-Century Radiate treatment combines Eminence Organic Skincare with hydrodermabrasion, dry brushing, and a customized wrap to leave skin luminous and revitalized – complete with a take-home SPF fluid to preserve your glow. 

Beyond these century-inspired rituals, the spa also offers classic massages – such as deep tissue, sports, aromatherapy, and hot stone – as well as a “Massage Sampler” for guests who want to experience a blend of techniques in one treatment. 

Body treatments are equally rich in variety, ranging from exfoliating scrubs (like orange-ginger or lavender-lemongrass) to detoxifying wraps such as seaweed-based therapies. More for the history buff, there are also such features as historic-inspired baths, herbal cleanses, and full-body massages that reflect centuries-old wellness traditions. 

On the skincare side, the Spa uses the Eminence Organic Skin Care line, offering tailored facials – including the Williamsburg Signature Facial – plus add-ons like eye treatments, microcurrent, and micro-exfoliation. 

Nail and salon services complete the wellness offering: guests can enjoy pedicures (such as the “Cobblestone Pedicure” with hot stones), manicures, waxing, hair styling, and brow and lash treatments. 

Maximize Your Relaxation With a Package 

For those looking to make a full day of it, the spa provides several packages. The “Colonial Classic Experience” weaves together a body scrub, massage, and facial in a three-hour journey. There are also multi-hour options (up to 4.5 hours) to combine favorites like aromatherapy massage, detox body wrap, and anti-aging facial – plus the ability to upgrade with manicures, pedicures, and even lunch from the spa’s cuisine menu. For groups celebrating special occasions, the Spa’rty option offers a customized group experience with private lounges, fitness or yoga sessions, and retail discounts. 

Every visit starts in a soothing environment. Guests check in and are provided robes, slippers, private lockers, and access to shower and vanity areas so they can fully settle into the relaxing mood before their treatment. And after your session, you’re welcome to retreat to relaxation lounges or enjoy the whirlpools and steam rooms, making it a full sensory experience.

Spa membership is also available, granting year-round access to the fitness center, pools (both indoor and outdoor), and exclusive discounts on services, retail, and even dining across Colonial Williamsburg’s resort properties.

Modern Amenities and World Class Dining at Colonial Williamsburg

The Spa of Colonial Williamsburg is part of a larger wellness complex that spans 20,000 square feet and includes three pools: an indoor lap pool, an outdoor activity pool, and a tranquil outdoor pool reserved for adults.
