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.
