One of the most satisfying massages is the Sage & White Pine Hot Towel.Even if you skip the steam room and sauna, don't miss the subtly leaf-shaped whirlpool or the co-ed mineral pool with its blue sky fresco and bubbling central fountain. Be sure to arrive early to partake in the Healing Waters circuit.Even the treatment rooms offer nods to Oneida culture - large dreamcatchers are a central feature and beds are topped with thick and colorful woven blankets.This includes the 80-minute Dance of the Song Birds, which consists of a full-body exfoliation followed by side-by-side massages using healing birch bud oil. Although you can choose any of the spa services on the menu for your time in the VIP Suite, Skana Spa offers treatments that were created just for couples.Two separate lounges are each punctuated by a fireplace, and both offer plush chairs, light snacks, hot tea and seasonally infused water.
What we love most about this spa (in addition to the luxurious treatments) are its relaxation areas.All of the massages and body treatments combine ancient American Indian healing traditions with modern techniques to help create inner peace, relaxation and rejuvenation.
