Whether you’re after a little R&R or looking for a way to spoil your S.O., the luxury spas in Reno offer a vast array of treatments and amenities to create the perfect spa day. And we’re not just talking your run-of-the-mill facial or Swedish massage (although of course they have those, too). Read on for fresh ideas and cool experiences that promise to refresh and rejuvenate you, and don't forget to inquire about a local's discount; many offer a little payment relief to those with a familiar zip code.
Wavetable at The Refuge Spa
Massage has many benefits, including reducing muscle tension and stiffness, improving circulation and skin tone, and helping with digestive disorders and pain relief. And if you want all of those perks without being touched, Refuge’s touchless massage system puts the experience in your hands, making massage therapy a solitary experience.
Called “The Wellness Wave” this state-of-the-art table looks not unlike a tanning bed but without the claustrophobic closing lid. And instead of human touch, the wavetable uses hydrojets to pulse and vibrate aching muscles. It feels a bit like laying on a waterbed that’s been enhanced with massage chair features, all without getting wet. Don’t forget to set the mood with LED light routines, music of your choice, and an enticing aroma.
After your Wavetable experience, we suggest ordering a cocktail from the full bar and taking a soak in the rooftop hot tub surrounded by bright and colorful artwork.
Vichy Table at Dolce Vita Wellness Spa
The Vichy table combines aqua therapy with a heated waterbed platform, color therapy, an aromatherapy steam bath, and a water-enhanced vibro-massage. Unlike the table above, the Vichy experiences are led by a qualified massage therapist with live water jets. There are a couple of related experiences to choose from including one that focuses on an exfoliating body scrub and another that adds a detoxifying wrap and calming Siberian scalp massage to the experience. Unlike the Wavetable, this experience uses both a heated waterbed platform and several small showerheads that rain down on you as the therapist works their magic.
Visits to Dolce Vita include full day spa access with the booking of every treatment so don’t forget to step foot into the sauna or layback and read a book in one of several plush settings.
Knesko Gemclinical Facial at Spa Atlantis
Spa Atlantis’ long list of accolades includes several “Best Reno Spa” nods and a Forbes Four-Star Spa award for nine straight years in a row—the only Reno spa to receive this designation.
Spa Atlantis is also the only location in Northern Nevada to offer the Knesko Skin collagen masks, and the 90-minute experience not only fights visible signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles, dryness, puffiness, and uneven skin tone, it will also make you feel younger by rebalancing your chakra energies. Every treatment includes the second skin mask as well as LED light therapy and a Gua Sha face massage for lymphatic drainage. It's a bit of a choose your own adventure experience, with options including a Nanogold Repair & Green Jade Rollers for lifting and firming skin. This selection reduces inflammation and balances the third eye chakra. Or, choose the Diamond Radiance & White Jade Rollers package, best for brightening, hydrating and energizing the skin, while also balancing the crown chakra.
After your otherworldly facial, enjoy the spas other amenities, including an indoor pool and hot tub with full service lunch menu and several relaxation rooms with varying themes and benefits.
Nirvana at Spa Toscano

Amongst fans of the location, and especially those who embrace wellness culture, the 100-minute Nirvana experience is one of the most coveted. The deluxe package includes dry brushing to remove dry skin, reduce the appearance of cellulite, and increase circulation. It is then followed by a Shirodhara, Ayurvedic herbal “Marma Point” facial and an Ayurvedic Dosha balancing wrap for a wide variety of benefits across the body.
After you’ve finished the treatment, slip into the pink-hued Himalayan salt room to boost relaxation and aid in skin conditions and allergies or dine at the indoor pool and hot tub before taking a cold plunge in the locker room.
Headspa at Grand Sierra Resort
A unique offering at GSR, the downstairs spa offers an entire menu of headspa services, because hair and scalp health is equally important.
