Vacations are opportunities to carve out time for yourself and recharge. Whether planning a weekend retreat or an indulgent spa day, Visit Lauderdale, the official destination marketing organization for Greater Fort Lauderdale in South Florida, offers many opportunities to revitalize the mind, body, and spirit. Choose from ultra-modern spas in the European tradition, to wellness centers offering holistic remedies for stress and pain relief.

For the perfect spa day or a weekend wellness retreat, The Grand Resort and Spa is Fort Lauderdale Beach’s premier all-male spa-resort. Just steps from the beach and convenient to all of Fort Lauderdale’s attractions and nightlife, this resort features its own full-service day spa. Try a “Day of Indulgence” which includes a scrub, custom massage, facial, manicure and exfoliating pedicure.

For the perfect day of health, rejuvenation and pampering, check out the elegant Evara Beach Spa inside Auberge Beach, where the wellness center and med spa incorporate natural elements like sea, salt, and sand in its vitality rituals. At the ocean-inspired The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Fort Lauderdale, rebalance and harmonize with a signature cleansing ceremony to increase circulation using ice mitts and lymphatic drainage massage. At the rooftop PURE Spa at the Pelican Grand Beach Resort, you can soak up sweeping views of the Atlantic after indulging in Scandinavian-style treatments.

Many of Greater Fort Lauderdale’s top destination resorts offer luxurious spa treatments and packages. Nestled between the Atlantic and Intracoastal Waterway, the Margaritaville Beach Resort on Hollywood Beach is home to the full-service St. Somewhere Spa, which features a scrub room and fitness classes, along with a full array of spa and wellness treatments. The Diplomat Beach Resort is the perfect location to lounge in a cabana poolside post-treatment, and the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino’s Rock Spa features a full-service retreat that spans 42,000 square feet and includes dipping pools and dry and wet lounges.

In addition to a more traditional spa setting, Greater Fort Lauderdale is home to alternative wellness offerings such as cryo spas, ayurvedic wellbeing centers and IV vitamin lounges in neighborhoods out west, like Pembroke Pines.
