In the world of spa and wellness travel, 2023 marked a noticeable resurgence across North America. Spas of America, a platform dedicated to this niche, has revealed its highly anticipated Top 100 Spas of 2023, shedding light on the preferred retreats for those seeking ultimate relaxation and well-being.
Craig Oliver, president of Spas of America, observed a revival within the spa industry. “Consumers are rediscovering and revisiting beloved wellness havens, exploring new and enticing resorts and hotels, and discovering experiences deeply rooted in fitness, fresh air, and a connection with nature,” he says. The crown jewel of 2023’s spa sanctuaries is The Spa at Séc-he in Palm Springs, California.
An oasis inspired by the healing waters of the Agua Caliente Hot Mineral Spring, The Spa at Séc-he is nestled within an expansive wellness space. A sanctuary offering diverse amenities, including gender-specific bathhouses, treatment rooms, a salon, fitness facilities, and captivating outdoor pools.
“This is an amazing accolade for the entire team at Séc-he,” says Saverio (Sal) R. Scheri III, Chief Operating Officer, Agua Caliente Casinos. “From conception through design and now daily operations, the team at Séc-he is focused on creating inimitable experiences for our guests that will stay with them long after their visit. Curating so many unique treatments and immersions that combine to create life-changing practices is the passion of everyone at Séc-he, and this recognition further confirms their dedication.”
“It is a honor for The Spa at Séc-he to be named #No.1 Spa in 2023,” says Daniel Spencer, director of spas, The Spa at Séc-he and Sunstone Spa. “Thank you to Spas of America for this recognition. Creating a one-of-a-kind wellness destination rooted in the sacred healing waters of the Agua Caliente Hot Mineral Spring and offering innovative and traditional spa therapies has been a dream come true for my team and me.”
