RAKxa Wellness Spa at The St. Regis Aspen Resort
A bit of Bangkok has made its way to the base of the Rocky Mountains with the 2023 debut of RAKxa Wellness Spa at The St. Regis Aspen Resort. Introduced as part of a multi-million-dollar hotel-wide transformation, the first international outpost of the Thailand-based retreat brings an integrated wellness approach to the slopes designed to prevent illness and promote healing — an ideal combination for those acclimating to the high altitude.
Interiors imagined by Colorado-based Rowland+Broughton design firm blend the best of sleek tranquility with an alpine aesthetic to create an inviting, cozy vibe. Mix-matched textiles and rough-hewn elements feel at once rugged and upscale, complementing a menu of treatments ranging from the Seven Chakra hot stone healing massage to oxygen-infused facials designed to soothe both mind and body.
- RAKxa Wellness Spa hardly ever feels crowded thanks to its spacious 14,000-square-foot footprint, 17 treatment rooms and two wet lounges.
- No matter how you choose to unwind after a day on the slopes, be sure to save some time for the hot and cold plunge pools and the waterfall pool. The alternating temperatures help with recovery, increase circulation, relieve sore muscles and reduce inflammation.
- Rowland+Broughton’s use of natural elements like wood and stone throughout the Aspen spa’s interiors adds to its cozy rugged-chic ambiance. Plush furnishings in modern silhouettes invite you to linger a little longer after your treatment.
- A menu of treatments tailored to Aspen’s unique climate ensures a rejuvenating return to the slopes. Opt for an oxygen-infused facial, a trigger point release massage or a hydrating body wrap to refresh your body before heading back out to enjoy the fresh powder.
- If you’re feeling the effects of the high altitude, hook into one of the oxygen stations in the relaxation lounge. It’s a unique and useful amenity at the Rocky Mountain spa.
- The active set will appreciate a range of sports-minded massages like tension or trigger point release, lymphatic drainage or myofascial designed to ease après-ski pain.
- Looking to stave off jet lag? Opt for the Rx Good Night Sleep treatment to enjoy a circulation-boosting massage and focused energy point scalp rub all performed to the soothing tune of singing bowls, allowing you to easily slip into a deep slumber.
- For a little locally inspired pampering, treat yourself to the Rocky Mountain Ritual. Combat dry skin with an antioxidant-rich body scrub and hydrating butter wrap designed to nourish thirsty skin after a long day out in the alpine sun.
- A curated menu of facials aims to battle the aging effects of the dry climate and sunburn. Go for a high-tech HydraFacial or a nourishing oxygen facial to enjoy near-instant results.
