4 RELAXING SAN ANTONIO DAY SPAS

There’s nothing like a relaxing day at a spa to recharge your mental batteries, let go of some built-up stress, and otherwise make it easier to face the world. As a major Texan city, it’s no surprise that San Antonio has plenty of day spas to choose from, and most of them have something that makes them worth your time and money.

1. LA CANTERA RESORT AND SPA

La Cantera is a resort hotel that’s located near the Six Flags park along Interstate 10 on the edge of town. It’s also the location of the Loma de Vida Spa, a full-service spa with a great view of the surrounding countryside. Even if you don’t book a room at the hotel, you can spend half a day or a full day at the spa getting massages, relaxing under facials, or spending two hours at a time on rituals that hydrate and detox as they give you a full-body experience.

2. SMOOTH LINES SALON AND SPA

Smooth Lines is in the same part of San Antonio as La Cantera. It’s one of the businesses along I-10 as it crosses Huebner Road. The salon has professional hair and makeup stylists who can help you touch up your current look or help you discover a whole new you. As a spa, it also offers a variety of facials and whole-body skin treatments that can remove old, sun-damaged skin and leave you looking and feeling years younger. Smooth Lines has several regular treatments and styling options, and its team of professional stylists can also help you prepare for special events like weddings.

3. A.R.T. MASSAGE BODY SPA

The A.R.T. Massage Body Spa sits on West Sunset Road just west of Broadway Street. Those three letters in the name each stand for something: Advanced techniques that use modern massages and treatments to get the best results in clients, Relaxation methods that use every sense to help clients calm down, and Therapies that reach every part of the body so you can walk out the door feeling great. This company’s biggest draw is massage therapies, but it also offers facials, nail treatments, waxing, spray tans, and temporary henna tattoos.

4. HIATUS SPA AND RETREAT

Hiatus Spa is a Texas chain with locations in many of the state’s major cities. In San Antonio, you can find Hiatus near the river just a few blocks south of Josephine Street. The facility offers over a dozen treatment rooms, zero-gravity chairs for mani-pedis, and a hydrotherapy room. You can book a massage for between 30 minutes to 2 hours, get an hour-long body wrap, focus your efforts with a 90-minute facial, or get someone to focus on your toes and fingertips for an epic 110-minute mani-pedi.

Life can be stressful, so it’s good to get away from everything for a few hours or even a whole day and let the professionals massage your muscles, improve your skin, and style your hair and nails. For a day spa experience you’ll never forget, any of these locations are worth a visit.
