About Spas of America

Founded in 2005, Spas of America was created to make it easier for travelers to discover outstanding spas, wellness resorts, hot springs, thermal experiences and restorative getaways across the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Today, our directory features more than 1,000 spa and wellness destinations, from intimate day spas and urban retreats to destination resorts, Nordic spas, mineral hot springs and world-class wellness properties.

Inspiring Better Wellness Travel

We believe spa and wellness travel is about more than treatments.

It is about discovering places that help us slow down, reconnect, restore our energy and experience destinations in a more meaningful way.

Our editorial team travels throughout North America to experience spas firsthand, meet the people behind them and explore the trends shaping the future of wellness travel.

Through destination guides, editorial reviews, spa specials, retreats, industry news and our annual rankings and collections, Spas of America helps travelers find experiences that match how and where they want to travel.

More Than a Directory

Spas of America combines destination search with independent editorial content and year-round marketing.

Travelers can explore spas by location or by experience, including Nordic spas, hot springs, mountain retreats, ocean spas, wine-country destinations, health spas and more.

We also work directly with leading spa and wellness properties through our Marketing & Media Partnership program, helping them connect with wellness travelers through enhanced search visibility, editorial storytelling, social media and regional destination guides.

Two Decades of Spa & Wellness Travel

For more than 20 years, Spas of America has followed the evolution of the spa industry from traditional resort and day spas to today’s broader world of thermal wellness, longevity, recovery, nature-based travel and experiential wellness.

Our work has taken us across North America, giving us a firsthand perspective on the destinations, people, and ideas shaping the industry.

Spas of America is complemented by Healthy Living + Travel, our editorial platform covering wellness, travel, health, food, lifestyle and the experiences that contribute to a healthier life.
