Treatments, add-on self-care rituals and guided moments to make your visit your own.
30 Minutes of Wellness
Our 30 Minutes of Wellness treatments are optional enhancements designed to fit naturally into your Nordic Flow. During one of your rest cycles, instead of settling in on your own, step into a 30-minute treatment led by a trained wellness practitioner.
Each experience offers a unique way to slow down and enhance your Nordic cycle. Reserve in advance to guarantee availability, or book during your visit if space allows.
Add to any Nordic Flow for $49. Book with a 3hr Flow for $119
Give yourself permission to do absolutely nothing.
Deep Rest is a 30-minute guided relaxation experience designed to help your body slow down and your mind grow quiet. Settle beneath the warmth of a heated weighted blanket as you’re guided through calming breathwork, gentle full-body compressions, a soothing scalp and temple massage, and the grounding warmth of heated stones.
The experience finishes with guided Yoga Nidra Meditation, a guided relaxation practice that brings you toward the state between wakefulness and deep sleep, inviting you into a deeper state of stillness and rest before you return to your Nordic circuit.
Release tension and let yourself feel restored.
Tide’s Touch is a 30-minute treatment focused on the hands and arms, inspired by the feeling of smooth sand left behind by the rolling tide. Your experience begins with a comforting hot-towel cleanse and aromatic breathwork, followed by dry exfoliation to refresh and awaken the skin.
A soothing hot stone hand and arm massage melts away tension, before Saltair’s Signature Body Elixir mist and gentle compressions complete the experience, leaving your hands and arms feeling soft, refreshed and revitalized.
Reconnect, ground and settle into deep relaxation.
Roots of Renewal is a 30-minute treatment designed to soothe tired feet and legs while inviting your whole body to slow down. Newly enhanced and now offered in the Relax Room beneath the warmth of infrared panels, your experience begins with a warm foot bath and aromatic breathwork before moving into seasonal exfoliation and a soothing Aveda-aroma enhanced foot and lower-leg massage.
The experience finishes with Saltair’s Signature Body Elixir mist and gentle compressions, leaving you feeling grounded, restored and ready to return to your Nordic circuit.
Release tension, clear your mind and reconnect with stillness.
North Mountain Rejuvenation is a 30-minute treatment focused on the shoulders, neck and scalp, inspired by the quiet stillness of the North Mountain. Your experience begins with a soothing hot-towel cleanse and aromatic breathwork, followed by dry exfoliation to refresh the skin.
A tension-relieving face and scalp massage encourages deep relaxation, before Saltair’s Signature Body Elixir mist and gentle compressions complete the treatment. Finish with time in the Steam Sauna and a refreshing shower before returning to your Nordic circuit.

-
A focused facial ritual to restore what your skin is asking for.
Rooted in Elemental Consultation, this Aveda facial begins by tuning into your current state—where you
may be holding excess or feeling depleted across fire, water, earth, or air.
Through an intuitive sensory journey of aroma and intentional touch, this treatment works to gently rebalance the skin and nervous system. Warmth softens, cool awakens, and breath anchors the experience.
Cleansing, and deep hydration are layered with subtle hot and cold elements to support circulation and restore glow.
A simple, effective return to balance—guided by nature, held with care. This pairs perfectly with the Nordic rest cycle.
This offering is performed by a spa therapist.
-
A full-body exhale through the language of the elements.
This immersive Aveda facial experience begins with grounding—feet warmed, breath slowed, and your elemental state gently explored. From there, your treatment is intuitively guided to bring balance where it is most needed.
Depending on your daily element imbalance, the elemental rituals are woven into your facial:
Fire to activate and energize
Water to soothe and hydrate
Earth to ground and restore
Air to lift, open, and create space
Aveda Botanical skincare, lymphatic techniques, and a deeply hydrating masque are paired with extended touch points, hand, arm, and scalp, to invite full-body stillness. Hot and cool therapies mirror our Nordic cycle, encouraging flow, release, and renewal.
You leave feeling rebalanced, restored, and reconnected to yourself. Perfect pairing during an all-day Nordic cycle.
This offering is performed by a spa therapist.
