1. The Dewberry Spa
I RAVE about The Dewberry Spa to everyone I know. It is by far my favorite intimate spa in Charleston. I’ve had tons of 60/90 minute massages (including prenatal and postpartum) and facials.
The spa is located inside of my favorite hotel and has the best atmosphere. It is dark, moody, and relaxing. My husband and I actually skip gifts at Christmas and treat ourselves to a spa day here each year. We book separate treatments (but they do offer a couples massage) then head up to the rooftop bar, Citrus Club, for drinks and snacks afterwards.
I HIGHLY recommend a 90 minute massage as you will not want to leave. This is also a favorite spot for a facial – I had one before my wedding and it was divine!
2. Charleston Place Spa
The Charleston Place Spa is another option for 5 star treatment! This is a great spot if you are with a girls group because there is a larger relaxation room and pool to enjoy. I went here with my mother & sisters in-law for a girls day and everyone loved it! I did a facial and the therapist was amazing. She recommended several products that I still use and offered plenty of skincare tips too!
Pro tip: Make a lunch reservation at Palmetto Cafe before your appointments!
3. Hotel Bennett Spa
Hotel Bennett is a luxury hotel located right off of Marion Square in downtown Charleston, SC. They offer everything from body treatments, nail services, and massages in their tranquil urban oasis. Make plans to visit rooftop bar, Fiat Luxe, for cocktails afterwards or schedule a tea time in their iconic all pink bar, Camellias!
4. The Sanctuary Spa at Kiawah Island Golf Resort
If you are staying at The Sanctuary, the spa is not to be missed! It is a true resort style spa with several relaxation rooms, lockers, and separate men/women’s area to relax (sauna, hot tub, etc). We spent a couple nights here after our wedding for a “minimoon” and it was amazing!
5. Sweetgrass Inn at Wild Dunes Resort
My family does a beach week on Isle of Palms every year and we love to visit the spa at Sweetgrass Inn. The facility opened a couple years ago so it is all very new! My favorite thing is the access to their outdoor patio with plunge pool, cabanas, and food offerings. You can truly make a whole day of it and escape the busyness of the resort.
6. Urban Nirvana
Urbana Nirvana is a classic go to spot in Charleston for local’s. It is easy to access with several locations across town and is more affordable than some of the hotel spas in the area. Most recently, I booked a prenatal massage here when I was dealing with sciatica pain and it helped tremendously! Highly recommend Urban Nirvana for their spa or salon services.
7. Wentworth Mansion Spa
The Wentworth Mansion is one of the most romantic boutique hotels in Charleston with a dreamy onsite spa which is actually operated by Urban Nirvana. It is located in the mansions historic, former stables with stunning details throughout like the exposed brick walls, big windows and vaulted ceilings. If you are in Charleston for romantic getaway, this a wonderful spot to stay and relax at their spa.
8. Woodhouse Day Spa (West Edge and Mount Pleasant)
Woodhouse Day Spa is another great Charleston spa option for a girls group. They have plenty of treatment rooms and space for you all to gather and even order in lunch. They offer various treatments including massage, facials, nails, and more.
