Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, The Omni Grove Park Inn has been serving guests for over a century and prides itself on a tradition of Southern hospitality. Guests can enjoy a round of championship golf at the Donald Ross-designed course or dine at one of four locally-sourced restaurants. The stylish 5-star hotel rooms offer stunning views and plush bedding.

Omni Park Grove Inn’s unique subterranean spa, which features an indoor pool, provides the perfect atmosphere for relaxation. We caught up with Ellen L. McGinnis, Director of Spa at The Omni Grove Park Inn, to learn more about wellness at the Spa at The Omni Grove Park Inn in Asheville, North Carolina.

Why You’ll Love It: Guests really love the opportunity to disconnect from the bustle of everyday life. At The Spa we are dedicated to providing a place of healing, calm, and respite. Every inch of our environment supports that commitment, from the “feel good” negative ions of the rock structures, the energic natural crystals and geodes sprinkled throughout, restorative and purifying pools and sacred spots for relaxation, contemplation and mindfulness, etc. A much needed escape!

Key Features: The Spa features 43,000 square feet of peace and quiet, with a total of 35 treatment resources. Offerings include two therapeutic waterfall pools and a lap pool blanketed with 6,500 fiber-optic stars and underwater music. 20 water features include numerous mineral-based pools which complement our subterranean spa with cavernous rock walls, arches, and tunnels. We also have two outdoor pagodas with views of the majestic mountains and private men’s and women’s exhilarating contrast pools, inhalation rooms, saunas, and eucalyptus-infused steam rooms.

Safety Protocols: The Spa is open and closely adhering to stringent CDC personal care operational guidelines and therefore some of our traditional amenities have been temporarily suspended. Because of this, guests can expect the following:
1) All visitors will be asked health screening questions when checking into The Spa.
2) Cloth face coverings are required in all areas of The Spa.
Note: Updated hours and safety guidelines are kept up to date on our website.

Bonus: With any treatment, you are granted access open to close to our spa’s more than 18,000 square feet of amenities. So regardless of your treatment time, plan to get there early to fully embrace a day of relaxation and rejuvenation.

Spa snacks: Our Spa Café menu offer fresh house-made smoothies, healthy salads, sandwiches, and wraps. An intimate dining spot with indoor and outdoor seating, the Spa Café provides a relaxing environment to enjoy a fresh and nourishing meal or even a glass of champagne or cocktail. In addition, we offer six other dining options on the resort property.

Unique Offering: Our most unique offering is the Color and Light Wrap with Aura Imaging. This one-of-a-kind treatment begins and ends with a special aura-capturing photograph to be interpreted by a specially trained spa therapist. It includes exfoliation and a customized chakra-enhancing body wrap with specialty oils. You’ll experience the wrap portion of the treatment in our exclusively designed Therapeutic Wellness Pod with soothing music, healing lights, energetic gemstones, relaxing heat, and aromatherapies to achieve ultimate balance. For a full list of treatments, view The Spa Menu here.

Luxurious Treatment: The Ultimate Facial is our 110-minute treatment using the most decadent combination of specially selected active ingredients from the depths of the ocean and our exclusive treatment techniques that produce skin with an incomparably smooth, firm, and youthful appearance.

Wellness Offerings: The Spa features an exclusive Movement Studio that is accessible by appointment on the day of your treatment. Workout options include cardiovascular equipment, Techno Gym pulley cable resistance system, selection of free weights, kettle bells, and balance-enhancing equipment. To enhance mindfulness and “unplug” during your visit, we have many nooks perfect for total relaxation—open-air lounge areas surrounded by the nature of the mountains, fire pit patios with a soothing water feature, Zen gardens, and outdoor whirlpool.

Featured products: Our spa boutique carries many items for continuing your spa experience at home including skin, bath, and beauty elixirs. The boutique features the one of the most exclusive and luxurious skin care lines in the world, Babor. Babor is a results-driven skincare line that enhances and progresses our Spa’s facial and body treatments.
