ASHEVILLE, N.C. (828newsNOW) — Downtown Asheville shoppers looking for a unique holiday gift can turn to Skin Spa Asheville, a locally owned boutique spa tucked inside the Haywood Park Hotel & Atrium. For more than a decade, the spa has offered visitors a cozy retreat from winter stress, with signature treatments including the Foot Soak Lounge, customized facials and massage therapy using premium botanicals and Eminence Organics skincare.

“Holiday shopping can be stressful, and our seasonal packages are designed to help people unwind, hydrate, and glow,” a spa spokesperson said. “A gift card here is more than a present — it’s a moment of calm and connection.”

The spa’s private suites make it an ideal choice for bachelorette parties, romantic getaways, or solo self-care days. Voted a hidden gem for group experiences, it provides a peaceful escape amid the bustle of downtown Asheville.

Locally owned and woman-led, Skin Spa Asheville encourages shoppers to support small businesses while treating friends and family to wellness this holiday season. Visitors can also pair their spa experience with a cozy treat from nearby Asheville Açaí Co. for a complete day of indulgence.
