Spas & Wellness

As it was more than a century ago, Pinehurst Resort’s guests arrive ready to golf. But today, in addition to its 10 18-hole courses, you’ll discover much more to do, from fine dining to spa treatments.

For “me time,” it’s NC time. Embrace North Carolina’s local flavors and diverse regions, where spa perks range from an oceanfront pool to a terrace tub overlooking a vibrant city to a subterranean pool with cavernous rock walls. With ingredients sourced from onsite gardens, local businesses and even the ocean itself, you know you’re getting a one-of-a-kind treatment at these peaceful spots.

Choosing where you’ll stay is one of the most important decisions to make when planning a trip. North Carolina offers many top-rated hotels, bed and breakfasts, and resorts, whether the place has attracted visitors for decades or has only opened more recently. With so much to choose from, sometimes you need an amenity as simple as a (far-from-simple) hotel tub to be the deciding factor.

Too much plugged-in living drains your battery. Power down and recharge at coastal destinations that fill you with a peaceful, easy feeling.

Lost your zen? Reconnect with nature on a forest walk, say “aah” at a spa or take a whole weekend to recharge.
