Rest. Renew. Radiate.

This Holiday Season, Treat Yourself to the Gift of Self-Care

Nestled at the base of Lakeside Tower sits SpaVela, a luxury spa offering a balanced blend of day spa indulgence and med spa expertise. Against the backdrop of the shimmering waves of Lake Grapevine, guests can enjoy a serene, resort-like atmosphere paired with massages, injectables, facials, laser hair removal, wraps, scrubs, and waxings galore.

Each year brings its own unique challenges, and 2025 has proven no exception. Juggling work, family, friends, and everything in between leaves little room for pampering. Simply put, it’s easy to forget about taking care of yourself. Luane McWhorter, co-owner of SpaVela (along with Stacey Maness), encourages guests to not look at self-care as a luxury but as a necessary tool for maintaining the balance. 

“We tend to forget, but we have to take care of ourselves to be able to take care of other people. Everyone needs downtime,” she says.

For those searching for that reset, SpaVela’s membership program offers a wellness escape. For a flat monthly rate, members can choose from a variety of services each month, alternating and customizing facials, massages, and other body treatments as they wish. It’s a simple, affordable way to build self-care into everyday life. 

SpaVela invites clients and newcomers alike to further embrace the season at the spa’s Christmas event. Held the first weekend in December, their festive open house offers raffles, giveaways, and bonus gifts with every gift card purchase—perfect for stocking stuffers or for those looking to explore SpaVela for themselves. 

This holiday season, let SpaVela help you rest, renew, and radiate—because the best version of you is the one that’s restored.

Give the gift of relaxation to yourself or someone you love at SpaVela, located at 2800 Lakeside Parkway, Suite100, Flower Mound, or visit spavela.com for more information.
