ASPIRA SPA RANKED #3 SPA IN AMERICA
Wisconsin Spa Earns Accolade by spa and wellness travel website Spas of America
Aspira Spa, located inside the AAA Four Diamond Osthoff Resort, along the pristine shores of Elkhart Lake, was named the #3 Spa in America, #1 Midwest Spa and #1 Lake Spa in North America by Spas of America in its annual ranking of the Top 100 Spas of 2017.
“The Aspira Spa has been consistently one of our most popular Midwest spa destinations and one of the most sought after Lake & Country spa experiences in the country,” said Craig Oliver, president of Spas of America. “A beautiful location, set on the shores of Lake Elkhart, combined with The Osthoff’s warm hospitality, comfortable accommodations, and delicious dining experiences make the Aspira Spa an ideal wellness getaway.”
In 2017, the trend has shown that consumers have been searching for experiences to relax, reduce stress and invest in one’s health. “Whether guests are traveling solo or in a group, spa and wellness travel offers people a chance to focus on what is most important – their own health and well-being,” said Oliver. Aspira, meaning ‘infused with spirit,’ was borne on the banks of a lake considered sacred by the Native Americans who lived there, bestowing powerful natural energy upon all who encounter it. When developing signature treatments at Aspira, General Manager, Lola Roeh, aims to highlight the lake’s healing history, stating, “I’ve always felt strongly about offering treatments that have a special connection to the land and the water.”
Signature services, such as the “Grandfather’s Massage,” pays homage to the stones that are gathered and used in ceremony by native healers; these stones, called the “Grandfathers” are heated and placed on the chakras, meridians and reflexology points, bringing deep relaxation, peace and balance.
