VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

As you drive down the winding, shaded road that leads to The Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee, you already know you’re in for a relaxing escape. Walking along the open-air breezeway to the newly revamped spa only reinforces that feeling — especially when you’re met with the cooling touch of A/C (a welcome respite from the Georgia heat) and the warm smiles of a staff eager to welcome you to your afternoon of Zen.

Following its 2024 refresh, the 27,000-square-foot The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Reynolds, Lake Oconee has been transformed into a bright, contemporary retreat adored with natural tones (taupes, tans and creams), warm wood accents and abstract artwork inspired by your waterfront surroundings. The well-equipped wet lounge and living room-like relaxation lounge offer serene spaces to unwind, while 19 softly lit treatment rooms provide a cocoon-like setting for indulging in the spa’s all-new menu of treatments.

Our Inspector's Highlights

The renovation transformed The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Reynolds, Lake Oconee from a lodge into a homey hideaway — more a stylish lakehouse than a sterile cookie-cutter spa. Wicker Adirondak chairs, adult coloring books and a faux fireplace in the wet lounge add to the relaxed residential feel.
The wet lounge is a must-visit post-treatment. Start with a stint in the expansive sauna and steam rooms before taking a dip in the cold plunge pool and finishing with a whirl in the hot tub.
Downstairs, you’ll find the 24-hour fitness center equipped with Peloton bikes and Technogym equipment, plus a stunning indoor pool. A two-story vaulted ceiling, a double-height stone fireplace and plenty of natural light make the spa pool the perfect spot to relax or squeeze in a few laps around your treatment.
The cozy relaxation lounge continues the luxe lakehouse vibe with indoor-outdoor furniture, botanical print pillows, lake-inspired artwork and even faux greenery. Gorgeous photo-heavy coffee table books covering everything from the art of tea pairing to recipes for the perfect s’more complete the scene.
To help you stay hydrated after your service, the Lake Oconee spa offers refreshing pours like watermelon wellness water, a fruit-infused sip packed with antioxidants and electrolytes, sans sugar, artificial sweeteners or even calories.

The Treatments

In addition to a physical makeover, the luxury spa also overhauled its treatment menu to include renowned brands like Zents, ESPA and Eminence Organic Skincare.
For deep tissue results without the deep pressure, try the Gua Sha Lymphatic Treatment. Using a gua sha tool (gua sha is a form of traditional Chinese medicine), your therapist can work out the kinks without having to dig deep into tight muscles, while also enhancing lymphatic drainage, smoothing fascia (the connective tissue surrounding your muscles) and calming inflammation with a cedar and juniper ESPA magnesium oil.
Keep Georgia on your mind (and body) with the locally inspired Forest and Clay Restoration. A rejuvenating CBD-infused clay and mushroom wrap is combined with a food and scalp massage to leave you feeling grounded, rested and thoroughly relaxed.
Whether your skin is winter weary or strongly sun-kissed, the hydrating Botanical Renewal is just what the doctor ordered. An antioxidant body polish, an aromatic rice buff, an application of rose collagen serum and a final flourish of silk extract leaves your skin feeling baby soft.
Those who love the latest in skincare technology should opt for the Glo2Facial, an ultra-hydrating, oxygen-infusion treatment that plumps and brightens skin in under an hour. With its gentle yet powerful blend of peptides and antioxidants, it's a must‑try for anyone looking to reset their complexion and achieve that post-spa glow.
