9 Snowy Wellness Retreats That Will Have You Basking in the Glow of Winter

Find solitude and balance in the academic and historic city of Boston. Stay warm and bundled up at XV Beacon in one of Boston’s poshest neighborhoods, Beacon Hill; this boutique hotel offers a cashmere blanket, yoga mat, and fireplace in each room, as well as a complimentary hotel car to drive guests anywhere downtown to avoid the cold. XV Beacon’s Winter Wellness Package includes an hour-long, in-room deep tissue massage, a Boston Sports Club Day Pass, and healthy munchies and smoothies delivered to your room.

XV Beacon doesn’t have a spa so pop into Bella Sante, the elegant Boston day spa set in a second story brownstone on Newbury Street, Boston’s premiere shopping street. Have a massage, a blowout, and a restorative double exfoliation manicure to soften dry wintry hands. Danuta Rak, who’s worked at Bella Sante for 19 years, says Vitamin E and coconut oil are essential for Winter months. “Use vitamin E on your hands to make your skin flexible so it doesn’t crack and coconut oil to nourish all three layers of skin, not just the first layer,” Rak advised.
