The Waters of the World pools are almost like aqueous islands, scattered among the grounds' lush grasses and palm trees. Two of the world's oldest and most coveted natural remedies infuse the waters: Dead Sea salt from Israel, which is used to detoxify the skin and quiet the mind, and Salies-de-Béarn salt from the Pyrenees Mountains, which can help with mood swings and water retention. The pools are the centerpiece of The Spa at PGA National Resort's internationally inspired treatment menu, which reads like a history of old-world spa therapies.

The massage and body treatments draw from nearly every corner of the Earth. Reflexology uses Chinese techniques that date back 3,000 years, aromatherapy massages hydrate skin with essential oils from Egypt, and a mud treatment detoxifies the body with Moor mud from Lake Hévíz in Hungary.

The spa, which recently benefited from the resort's four-year, multi-million renovation, also has a salon complete with all hair and nail care services. Plus, a plastic surgeon administers cosmetic injections weekly, and it has an additional selection of men's services, including facials for golfers experiencing red skin as a result of the sun's hot rays or embarrassment over not executing a perfect pirouette after a drive.

With a remodel completed in late 2016, the ladies locker room and lounge reflect a soothing, new look, featuring the all-time favorite branded apricot spa amenities for guest's use while pampering at The Spa. The room features a new sauna, steam and wet area, and there’s always a refreshing, iced towel on hand to dry and renew.
