Best Spas in New York

They say New York is the city that never sleeps, but what if you really need a rest? Get an appointment at one of the city's best spas. New York is full of these pockets of serenity, so you can relax and take a quick break from the fast-paced happenings outside. And what's more, unlike a vacation to the South Pacific, these spas come in all price ranges. Enjoy!

Great Jones Spa

Consistently ranked one of the best spas south of 14th street, Great Jones Spa is a welcome oasis in the constant energy that surrounds SoHo and the Village. With a full menu of messages, facials, and manicures, the spa also offers full-body treatments including soothing Lemon Verbena and Fiji Coconut Sugar Glow. Best of all? You can get unlimited access to the sauna, steam room, pool and hot tub for $50.

d’mai Urban Spa

An urban spa might sound a little oxymoronic, but this Brooklyn spa staple seems a world away from the city. The small but serene space gets high marks from regulars, who particularly rave about the cedar sauna. Drink fresh (and free) cucumber water as you get a facial (their specialty). Followers of skin care pro Sonya Dakar are in luck: d’mai uses them almost exclusively, they’re great for any skin type, and they make the spa smell like a little piece of heaven.

Townhouse Spa

Need to take a break from a stressful work day? Townhouse is one of the best spas in New York for professionals looking for an oasis away from the office. Located in the heart of midtown, the three-story spa is a lesson in luxury: one room serves light dinner and refreshments, another offers entertainment and leather loungers. The coup de grace is the Oceana Hydro Capsules, a state-of-the-art hydrotherapy tub with 30 jets that massage with water, steam, and rejuvenating oils.

ease NY

The word “spa” can often be synonymous with “expensive,” especially for some of the best spas in New York. Luckily, at ease NY, getting a first-class massage doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg. Although they also offer body scrubs and aromatherapy, ease NY is known for its massage, from Swedish to stone to facial message. New Yorkers come in droves on Valentine’s Day, since couples massage is a specialty here, with private rooms and a reasonable price tag: only $110 for two for an entire hour.

The Green Spa

Those willing to brave the trek out to Bay Ridge will find the Holy Grail of Spas. Called simply “The Spa” or “The Green Spa,” it offers every service under the sun: massage, body treatments, manicures, nutrition, pre-natal care, acupuncture, and more. You can even take classes in their “movement studio,” which offers pilates and yoga as well as tai chi, hip-hop, bellydancing, and boxing. And compared to its Manhattan counterparts, The Spa is a steal.
