Leave it to wild, wonderful, West Virginia to create a hobbit hole everyone wants to visit. (Visionaries, that's what we are... ) And this particular hobbit hole has something waiting inside that everyone can enjoy: a salt cave - and a spa. Who can resist a day at the spa, when it's underground - in a hobbit hole?!
The Salt Cave and Spa was constructed a little over five years ago just outside of White Sulphur Springs.
Clearly, it's not your ordinary spa. For starters, it's buried beneath tons of soil — with grass (and more) growing on top.
Just walking up to the entrance is a tantalizing experience.
It's almost a feeling of entering another realm...
Once inside, you'll feel an instant calm as you enter a reception area and meet the friendly staff.
The Salt Cave and Spa offers a variety of services from massages to reflexology, light therapy, salt/halotherapy, facials, yoga classes, and more.
One of the highlights of the space is the salt cave.
You'll walk over a bed of pink Himalayan salt crystals as you make your way to a zero-gravity seat. Recline and spend 45 minutes absorbing the healing properties of Himalayan salt. At a mere $15 for 45 minutes, the Salt Cave is easily the most affordable spa feature.
We suggest adding it on before a massage in one of their relaxing massage rooms.
All of the standard massages are on the spa menu; however there are several specialty massages, too, like the Hawaiian Pohaku Massage where heated lava stones are used during your massage. To see a complete menu of massage treatments, click here.
How about it? Are you ready to visit this amazing hobbit hole yet?
It's located just 7.4 miles northeast of White Sulphur Springs on WV-92, Pocahontas Trail.
A day of pampering sounds perfect to me!
