1. Cold Plunge at World Spa

This refreshing oasis at World Spa provides a transformative contrast to the heat, helping to soothe muscles, invigorate senses, and enhance overall well-being. As guests take the plunge, feel the stresses of the day melt away, leaving them renewed and ready to embrace a new level of relaxation

2. Snow Room at World Spa

This treatment takes inspiration from Finland, home of the sauna. Finns would typically end a sauna session with a cleansing and invigorating “roll in the snow.” There are many health benefits to incorporating hot/cold contrast therapy into a spa visit, including a boost to metabolism and immune system. In addition, the cold dry air of a snow room offers additional health properties by promoting respiratory health, improving blood circulation and alleviating sore, inflamed muscles.

3. Evenings at Glen Ivy

Enjoy Glen Ivy’s amenities, including 19 healing mineral pools, Club Mud and Ivy Kitchen, during warm summer nights with Evenings at Glen Ivy. The 2024 Summer Evenings packages include dinner at the Ivy Kitchen and a 20-minute spa service or visit to the Grotto.
