The therapists of Hiatus Spa & Retreat practice the art of wellness in more than a dozen private treatment rooms that tend to be as inviting as they are serene—a combination that has won numerous Best of Big D awards (2011- 2014) from D Magazine including Best Day Spa, Best Massage, and Best Mani-Pedi among others, as well as accolades from Lucky Magazine and the International Spa Association. And whatever service clients choose to experience, they'll reap the benefits of high-end products and equipment: massages incorporate custom-blended aromatherapy oils, plant-based peels achieve thorough exfoliation with little to no irritation, and pedicures take place in zero-gravity chairs with heated neck wraps.

A locally-owned business, Hiatus Spa + Retreat's earthy interior reflects its commitment to both relaxation and green initiatives. Medical-grade products from SkinCeuticals, Hydropeptide, and natural and organic plant-based skincare from Aveda come standard with spa services, and nail products are vegan-friendly. Hiatus also relies on eco-friendly infrastructure, including a wind-based power source, recycling efforts, and a custom water filtration system that eliminates the need to supply bottled water or divert a mountain stream through the lounge.
