Top Wellness Spas in NYC for Relaxation and Revitalization
Indulging in wellness spas provides an ideal opportunity to replenish your social energy and break away from the hectic pace of urban life.
The wellness industry is constantly growing as more individuals learn about the importance of taking care of themselves, both internally and externally. From infrared saunas to red light therapy, there seems to be a new wellness spa trend every week. Celebrity wellness gurus like Gwyneth Paltrow, Kourtney Kardashian, and Bella Hadid are constantly demonstrating the newest way to promote health. Paltrow was heavily criticized for her out-of-touch "wellness routine," but the Goop CEO continues to advocate for self-love and the trendiest health-boosting steps.
New York City is the ultimate hub for the latest and greatest in the wellness sphere. From easily accessible saunas to the most luxurious spa options, the city that never sleeps has begun to realize the importance of wellness (and sleep, that is). With limitless options, L'OFFICIEL rounds up the most rejuvenating wellness spas in NYC — just in time for dropping temperatures and the holiday season.
