Once you arrive at Meadowood Napa Valley, an iconic wine country enclave surrounded by acres of lush greenery, visiting Meadowood Spa to unwind might seem unnecessary — but that would be a mistake.
The spa is a sumptuous hideaway well worth your time. Located on a hill above the tennis courts, the facility looks and feels more like a wellness retreat located at a modern cozy lodge than it does a traditional hotel spa.
The scent of redwood lingers in the air as you walk through the gates and toward the white window-paned doors. Inside, a hand-foraged steel fireplace roars at the center of the welcoming reception room. Natural elements — cedar, oak, stone, ferns — flow throughout the masculine, rustic-chic space.
As you sip a steaming cup of soothing tea and sink into the plush organic linen sofa, you will likely feel yourself sinking into relaxation with ease.
Our Inspector's Highlights
- All of the suites at the Napa spa, which were designed by Backen, Gillam & Kroeger Architects with interiors by Leslie Hemmings, are large with a private bathroom and steam shower.
- Even the suite’s color palette — warm browns and grays, soft creams, muted greens and faded blacks — is calming and meant to reflect the unique flora and fauna of the surrounding Napa Valley.
- A pre-treatment, personalized aromatherapy steam shower ensures that you begin your massage, facial or scrub completely relaxed.
