Nearing the end of a tumultuous year, we've seen a rise in health and wellness-based properties opening seemingly everywhere. Here are three of the latest openings in the U.S.
1. IntoMeSea
IntoMeSea in Santa Monica, CA, is healing studio that incorporates therapies from around the world—particularly Floatation Meditation. The studio is 5,500 sq. ft. and has three private suites featuring floatation tanks filled with skin temperature, Epsom salt-rich water. IntoMeSea’s available floatation therapies focus on Float, Soak, Light, Energy, Salt, Sweat and Flow.
Float suites are designed to ensure that internal and external sensory signals are minimized and the floater can find a deep state of tranquility, relaxation, happiness and peace. Options for chromotherapy and sonotherapy (color and sound healing) are available as enhancements.
IntoMeSea commissioned master craftsmen from Brazil to hand carve two white quartz crystal soaking tubs for intention setting and energetic healing, as well. Guests can also enjoy a post-float relaxation lounge, salt therapy, infrared sauna experience, virtual reality immersion, showers, and regular classes and special events for the community.

The Spa at The Wharf offers customizable treatments using signature products by Privai. Located on the third floor of the hotel, it's nearly 4,000 sq. ft. and includes four therapy rooms, an intimate couples room, nail salon, luxury locker room and shower facilities.

Manicure, pedicure and waxing services are all on the menu as well.
