The short version

Blue Ridge's two massage-focused day spas are Serenity in the Mountains, off Highway 515, and TeaTree Spa, in a cabin downtown. A 55-minute couples massage at Serenity is listed at $220 Monday to Thursday and $260 Friday and Saturday, and TeaTree's 50-minute Signature Couples Massage is $245. Serenity's posted hours run Monday through Saturday and TeaTree is closed Sunday, so plan your spa day for Monday through Saturday and book ahead.

A spa appointment is one of the easiest ways to turn a mountain weekend into a real break. Blue Ridge has two day spas known for massages, plus a wellness campus with a med spa and a head spa. Here's what each one offers, what it costs, and the rules worth knowing before you book, all taken from the spas' own websites as of October 31, 2026.

Which Blue Ridge spa should you book?

Start with what you want from the day.

  • A long, slow spa day with amenities: Serenity lists a sauna, steam room, lockers, showers, and a relaxation lounge as complimentary for spa guests on the day of their appointment (policies). It also has a cafe and a salt cave. Its relaxation rooms, locker rooms, steam, and sauna "are not co-ed," but couples can share the Sanctuary, a co-ed relaxation room.
  • A treatment close to downtown shopping and dinner: TeaTree is in a cabin downtown, and the Blue Ridge Mountains Chamber notes that you can walk from it to downtown "shops, restaurants and wine tasting experiences" (Chamber).
  • A weekday trip: Serenity's Monday–Thursday massage and package prices are lower than its Friday and Saturday prices (the salt cave is $30 any day). TeaTree lists one price for each service.

Both spas ask you to book ahead. TeaTree says to "schedule your spa day as far in advance as possible" (TeaTree), and Serenity asks guests to "call as far in advance as possible" (Serenity).

Serenity in the Mountains: couples massage, salt cave, and packages

Serenity in the Mountains is a full-service day spa with massages, facials, nails, body treatments, a med spa, and its own lodging for spa guests. It describes its location as "one block off Highway 515, only five minutes from both downtown Blue Ridge and Lake Blue Ridge."

Couples massage prices

Its couples massage is "each guest receiving a massage side by side in one of our beautiful couples massage rooms" (massages):

Couples massageMon–ThuFri & Sat
55-minute Relaxation$220$260
85-minute Relaxation$330$370
85-minute Hot Stone$370$410
85-minute Salt Cave Couples$450Not offered

The Salt Cave Couples Massage is "only available at 4 PM Monday through Thursday." For a solo massage, the 55-minute Relaxation Massage is $95 Monday–Thursday and $115 Friday and Saturday.

The Himalayan salt cave

Serenity says its salt cave is "built by hand with pure Himalayan salt boulders, rocks, bricks and sand." A 45-minute session is $30 per person, any day, and you must be 18 or older. What to expect:

  • You get a pair of clean socks. You can wear your own clothes, or a spa robe if you're also there for other services.
  • You relax in a zero-gravity chair, and guests are asked "to refrain from talking during the session."
  • It's "a cell phone free environment."

Spa packages

Serenity's day packages combine a facial and a massage, and two of them add the salt cave:

PackageAboutMon–ThuFri & Sat
Perfect Pair (Ultimate Facial, 85-minute Relaxation Massage)2.5 hours$260$300
Himalayan Trio (Himalayan Facial, 85-minute Signature Massage, 45-minute Salt Cave)3.5 hours$310$350
Signature (Signature Facial, 85-minute Signature Massage, 45-minute Salt Cave)3.5 hours$320$360

Its Romantic Getaway and Girlfriends Getaway packages include a two-night stay in Serenity's own Luxury Suites, which are "exclusively reserved for Spa Guest only." If you're renting a cabin, the day packages above are the ones to look at.

Lunch at the spa

The Serenity Cafe serves coffee, sandwiches, salads, and soup, lists hours of 11 AM to 3 PM, and it's "available only to our Spa guests." There are no to-go orders, and it can't accommodate outside food or drinks. The menu online is marked as a sample that changes with the seasons.

Holiday trees at Serenity

Serenity says the spa is decorated for the holidays "from November 1st through January 31st." Its 6th annual Tour of Trees is on Sunday, November 8, and Sunday, November 15, from 2 to 5 PM. Tickets are $20 per person at the door, children 12 and under are free, and all proceeds benefit the Fannin County Shop with a Cop program (Serenity). It's on our Blue Ridge events calendar, too.

TeaTree Spa: a downtown cabin spa

TeaTree Spa is "located in a cozy, and luxurious cabin in the heart of downtown," with lounge areas that have "large river stone fireplaces." It's open 10 AM to 6 PM Monday through Saturday and closed Sunday.

Massages and couples massage

Most of TeaTree's massages are $120 for 50 minutes and $160 for 80 minutes, including Relaxation, Deep Tissue, Ashiatsu, Thai bodywork, and its Signature Massage. Hot Stone is offered at 80 minutes for $160, and the CBD-infused massage costs more ($150 and $190).

The Signature Couples Massage is $245 for 50 minutes and $325 for 80 minutes. TeaTree says that afterward you can "relax over a complementary glass of champagne, sparkling cider, or cup of tea."

Infrared sauna

TeaTree's infrared sauna is in "your own private room," with music and color therapy lighting. A single session is $35, or $50 per couple added to a couples massage. Give the spa an hour's notice so it can heat the sauna.

Packages

TeaTree's packages include:

  • Create Your Own Spa Day: 10% off any three full services per person.
  • TeaTree's Signature Package: Signature Massage and Signature Custom Facial, $225 with a 50-minute massage (allow 2 hours) or $260 with an 80-minute massage (allow 2½ hours).
  • The Queen Bee: body scrub, 50-minute massage, facial, and foot massage, $420 (allow 4 hours).

Good to know before a TeaTree visit

From its Good to Know page:

  • Arrive 15 to 20 minutes before your appointment.
  • The building is three stories, with two treatment rooms on the main floor. Mention it when you book if you need one of those.
  • There's no locker room. Robes are provided for guests booking multiple services, or on request.
  • A credit card is required to reserve, and changes or cancellations need at least 24 hours' notice by phone.
  • Minors over 12 are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
  • Parking is on site.

Willow Creek Falls: med spa, head spa, and yoga

The Chamber's spa and wellness guide also lists Willow Creek Falls, "Located just 1.2 miles from the center of downtown Blue Ridge." Willow Creek Falls describes itself as a wellness campus anchored by The Collective Aesthetics & Wellness Med Spa, with Urban Luxe Head & Hair Spa and Ascending Studio, a yoga and Pilates space. It's more of a med spa and head spa than a massage day spa, so check each business directly for services and prices.

Spa rules to know before you book

  • Age: Serenity doesn't do massages, facials, nails, or body treatments for anyone under 18, and minors aren't allowed in its relaxation areas or salt cave (policies).
  • Arrival: Serenity asks you to arrive at least 30 minutes early, and late arrivals still end at the scheduled time.
  • Phones: Serenity asks guests to silence devices and leave them in a locker, and recording "of any kind is strictly prohibited." TeaTree asks you to turn off your phone.
  • Tipping: neither spa includes gratuity in its prices. Serenity says tipping "is completely at your discretion," and TeaTree says gratuity "is greatly appreciated."
  • Holidays: at Serenity, "Holiday rates (weekend prices) apply for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year weeks" (massages), and the spa is closed on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day, among other holidays.
  • Cancellations: Serenity charges 50% of the service cost without 48 hours' notice for individual services. For group reservations it needs two weeks' notice, or it charges 50% of the total.
  • Pets: Serenity allows no pets in the spa, including support animals.

How to fit a spa day into a Blue Ridge weekend

Serenity's posted hours run Monday through Saturday and TeaTree is closed Sunday, so on a weekend trip, aim for Friday or Saturday. A few ways to plan it:

  • Weekday trip: Serenity's massages and packages cost less Monday–Thursday, and the salt cave couples massage is only offered then.
  • Downtown day: book TeaTree, then walk to downtown shops and dinner.
  • Anniversary: pair the couples massage with the train's Premier Car. Our anniversary getaway guide has the details.
  • Friends' weekend: see our girls' trip guide for spa packages plus rail bikes and cider tastings.
  • Rainy day: a spa appointment works in any weather. Our rainy day guide has more indoor ideas.

Where to stay for a spa weekend in Blue Ridge

The Black Ember is our modern A-frame about 10 minutes from downtown Blue Ridge. After the spa, the relaxing continues at the cabin: it has a cedar barrel sauna, a private hot tub, and a fire pit. It sleeps up to 5 and is pet-free, smoke-free, and has no parties. The sauna and hot tub get hot, so stay hydrated and skip them after drinking. See our cabin with a sauna or why couples book it.

Event dates, hours, and prices change. Always confirm with the organizer before you go, and see our Blue Ridge events calendar for what's coming up. Spot something out of date? Let us know.
