It’s a quiet Thursday evening in Ireland’s rural midlands, and Mee’s Bar in Kilkerrin, County Galway, is hardly buzzing. The large space is mostly dark, the stools are mostly empty, and out front, on the only road through town, most cars roll by without stopping — foreboding features that have marked many an Irish country pub for dead.
5 Hotel Spa Retreats Close To NYC —And Perfect For A Winter Weekend

Enjoy a brisk walk in Lenox, MA, polar plunge into the Atlantic Ocean and warm up inside a cedar sauna in Rockaway, NY, cozy up in a minimalist cabin in the Catskills, experience a Japanese-influenced menu in the Hamptons. For those New Yorkers and East Coasters looking for a proper reset this winter without the long travel time, below five spas and wellness retreats, ideal for a long weekend getaway.
Nestled on 380-acres in the snowy hills of the Berkshires, Miraval Resort is known for it’s equine therapy, breathwork sessions and Ayurveda treatments. Enjoy a walk in the woods, or dip into the heated pool. Later, choose from an array of treatments like the the Qi Radiance — starting with lymphatic dry brushing, a gemstone-infused serum body wrap and followed by a gua sha facial. Dry limbs? A vitamin-rich Manuka Body Peel melds its namesake honey with green tea and licorice root for baby soft skin. This March, a designated wellness lineup for National Sleep Month includes slumber-inducing meditations, relaxing massages and a Soul Reclamation Ceremony. To eat, the resort’s Harvest Moon and 1894 restaurant serves healthful gourmet meals — many of whose ingredients are plucked from the property and nearby purveyors. And for guests looking to mimic the culinary experience at home, the brand recently unveiled it’s Life in Balance cookbook.
It’s no secret that Rockaway Beach caters to big crowds in the summer. In the colder months however, the 53-room Rockaway Hotel, known for it’s robust wellness programming offers a “Winter Pool House” kitted out with soft sofas and plush throws, a cozy spot where robed guests can enjoy IV bags and vitamin shots, in between sips of champagne, chair massages and Higher Dose infrared mats. Outside, a duo of cedar saunas and heated pool are ideal for embracing the elements (limited passes are available for day trippers).
Dip into the subterranean spa for a Vitamin C Brightening Facial or an 80-minute Hydrafacial — both using Dr. Dennis Gross products. Or rejuvenate dull skin with a new Herbal Bliss Treatment; a zesty Privai ginger and walnut scrub followed by a 50-minute CBD massage. Come mornings, enjoy a beach stroll (or plunge), enlist in daily yoga and stop by the Greenhouse Cafe for coffee, smoothies and açaí bowls. Later, gather around the lobby’s fireplace, where soothing blonde woods pair delightfully with Margie’s famed Irish coffee (because little homemade cream never hurt anyone).
Situated between Hudson, NY and Hunter Mountain, Piaule Catskill, hosts a sprawl of 24-room minimalist cabins decked in blonde wood, stone and glass. And tucked away, a hillside spa with body treatments, facials, sound baths, reiki, yoga, and meditation offerings. Enjoy a mineral plunge
