The question at Spa of Colonial Williamsburg isn't whether or not you'll be able to relax—it's how you'll do so. Nestled amongst the hotels and amenities of Colonial Williamsburg, the spa provides respite from the outside world by providing a thoughtful mix of modern and old-world treatments.

Century-Inspired Signature Services

Thanks to research from historians and The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation's archives, the spa was able to identify the most-effective healing practices from the past four centuries and glean inspiration from the records of Native American healers, apothecaries, doctors, and scientists.

The 17th Century detoxifying herbal wrap, for instance, draws on ceremonial and healing rituals form the 1600s. For this treatment, herbs and heated stones envelop you in warmth to detoxify the body and allow you to sink into a deep state of relaxation.

Modern Services

In addition to its historical treatments, the spa offers a seemingly endless list of modern-day services, starting with a half-dozen facials focused on wrinkle repair and age defiance. Salon services, meanwhile, include hair care, waxing, nail care, and even eyebrow treatments. Numerous on-site amenities provide alternative avenues to relaxation, too, from a pool and fitness center to hot tubs and steam rooms.
