Book a room, add a treatment or two, and a spa staycation becomes your whole vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most people never think to look close to home for a spa vacation. But somewhere within an hour or two of your front door, there&#8217;s probably one good enough to build a weekend around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And plenty of wellness travelers have already caught on. A growing number of Americans now plan spa-focused trips near home rather than far from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trade-off works in your favor. A spa staycation gives you room to step out of your routine and rest. Doing so delivers many of the same benefits as a wellness retreat, minus all the stress of traveling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-eight-spa-staycations-near-you\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eight Spa Staycations Near You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turns out, the spa vacation you keep postponing is closer than you think. Some of the hotels below are smack dab downtown. Others take a short drive, yet close enough that you leave after breakfast and check in before lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h3-equinox-hotel\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <a href=\"https:\/\/vacayou.com\/destinations\/property\/equinox-hotel-hudson-yards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Equinox Hotel<\/a> \u2013 Manhattan, New York<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" data-public-id=\"magazine\/equinox-hotels-Outdoor-Pool-Barrel-Saunas\/equinox-hotels-Outdoor-Pool-Barrel-Saunas.jpg\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"10714\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_2560,h_1707,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1650995637\/magazine\/equinox-hotels-Outdoor-Pool-Barrel-Saunas\/equinox-hotels-Outdoor-Pool-Barrel-Saunas.jpg?_i=AA\" alt=\"Equinox Hotel outdoor pool barrel sauna spa staycation NYC\" class=\"wp-post-10675 wp-image-10714\" data-format=\"webp\" data-transformations=\"c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\" data-version=\"1650995637\" data-seo=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_2560,h_1707,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1650995637\/magazine\/equinox-hotels-Outdoor-Pool-Barrel-Saunas\/equinox-hotels-Outdoor-Pool-Barrel-Saunas.jpg?_i=AA 2560w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_300,h_200,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1650995637\/magazine\/equinox-hotels-Outdoor-Pool-Barrel-Saunas\/equinox-hotels-Outdoor-Pool-Barrel-Saunas.jpg?_i=AA 300w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1024,h_683,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1650995637\/magazine\/equinox-hotels-Outdoor-Pool-Barrel-Saunas\/equinox-hotels-Outdoor-Pool-Barrel-Saunas.jpg?_i=AA 1024w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_768,h_512,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1650995637\/magazine\/equinox-hotels-Outdoor-Pool-Barrel-Saunas\/equinox-hotels-Outdoor-Pool-Barrel-Saunas.jpg?_i=AA 768w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1536,h_1024,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1650995637\/magazine\/equinox-hotels-Outdoor-Pool-Barrel-Saunas\/equinox-hotels-Outdoor-Pool-Barrel-Saunas.jpg?_i=AA 1536w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_2048,h_1365,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1650995637\/magazine\/equinox-hotels-Outdoor-Pool-Barrel-Saunas\/equinox-hotels-Outdoor-Pool-Barrel-Saunas.jpg?_i=AA 2048w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1200,h_800,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1650995637\/magazine\/equinox-hotels-Outdoor-Pool-Barrel-Saunas\/equinox-hotels-Outdoor-Pool-Barrel-Saunas.jpg?_i=AA 1200w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1920,h_1280,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1650995637\/magazine\/equinox-hotels-Outdoor-Pool-Barrel-Saunas\/equinox-hotels-Outdoor-Pool-Barrel-Saunas.jpg?_i=AA 1920w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1440,h_960,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1650995637\/magazine\/equinox-hotels-Outdoor-Pool-Barrel-Saunas\/equinox-hotels-Outdoor-Pool-Barrel-Saunas.jpg?_i=AA 1440w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_600,h_400,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1650995637\/magazine\/equinox-hotels-Outdoor-Pool-Barrel-Saunas\/equinox-hotels-Outdoor-Pool-Barrel-Saunas.jpg?_i=AA 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Courtesy Equinox Hotel <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most hotels give you a base for seeing the city.

Start in the water, moving between hot and cold in sequence, before any treatment begins. The idea comes from traditional Chinese practice, where the temperature change is the point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dry heat comes next. There&#8217;s an herbal sauna, a Himalayan salt stone sauna, a steam room and heated loungers. An indoor pool is long enough for laps, and there&#8217;s a hydro-vitality jacuzzi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8211; Serves Chicago.

Meals, movement and treatments arrive as one plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The signature canyon stone massage goes after tired muscles. Watsu takes place in warm water, with a practitioner holding your weight while you float. Ayurvedic treatments and energy work fill out the rest.
