Morning: Arrival and Mineral Soak
Begin your day at the Soakhouse & Soapery by immersing yourself in one of their signature mineral soaks. These therapeutic baths are infused with minerals designed to detoxify your body, soothe your muscles and calm your mind. As you soak, let the tranquil ambiance and the gentle murmur of water transport you to a state of deep relaxation. This initial step sets a peaceful tone for the rest of your day, preparing your body and soul for further pampering.
Mid-Morning: Facial Treatments
After your soothing soak, treat your skin to a luxurious facial. The Soakhouse & Soapery offers a variety of facial treatments tailored to meet the specific needs of your skin. Opt for a hydrating facial to rejuvenate and nourish dry skin, or choose a purifying treatment to deep-cleanse and refresh. Each facial is performed using high-quality, natural ingredients that leave your skin glowing and revitalized.
Lunch Break: Explore Local Eateries
Refreshed and relaxed, step out for a leisurely lunch at one of the nearby City Harbor shops and restaurants, just a short walk from the spa. The area offers a variety of dining options, allowing you to enjoy local flavors and scenic views of Lake Guntersville. This midday break not only satisfies your taste buds but also gives you a chance to explore the charming surroundings.
Afternoon: Massage and Sauna and Sunless Tanning
Return to the Soakhouse & Soapery for a deep tissue or aromatherapy massage. Their skilled therapists use techniques that relieve tension, improve circulation and enhance overall well-being. Following your massage, visit the sauna to complete your therapeutic experience. The dry heat from the sauna helps to expel toxins, clear your pores and relax your muscles even further—an ideal way to cap off the spa treatments.
If you’re looking for a healthy glow, try the spa’s sunless tanning services. This safe and effective treatment provides a perfect, streak-free tan that looks natural and is tailored to your desired shade. It's a great way to boost your confidence and add a radiant touch to your rejuvenated self.
Keep the Fun Going with an Overnight Stay

These luxury two-bedroom apartments are thoughtfully designed to reflect the same level of comfort and elegance found at the Soakhouse. The accommodations offer a perfect retreat, with plush furnishings and all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. Spend the evening unwinding in your private space, or take a gentle stroll through downtown Guntersville to enjoy the local shops and entertainment.
If you choose to extend your visit, the city of Guntersville offers plenty of activities to complement your spa experience. Enjoy the beautiful city parks, browse through unique boutiques, or indulge in more spa treatments. Each activity contributes to a comprehensive retreat that rejuvenates not just your body but also your spirit.
