When I visited The Cove, Dara was my massage therapist. During my 60-minute deep tissue massage, she melted away all my stress. The choice of massages is fantastic, but there are other fabulous treatments to choose from that are equally revitalizing.

Facial treatments repair, brighten, and hydrate the skin on your face. Scrubs and wraps exfoliate, detoxify, and polish your entire body, leaving your skin smooth and silky.

The lodge’s private hot springs fill two outside pools, but the inside pool is cooler. Fewer people can access the pools at any one time, creating a heavenly quiet atmosphere.

The Cove is a fantastic place to indulge in a luxury spa treatment, but why stop there? Splurge for an overnight indulgence or a weekend getaway and stay at the Shore Lodge. Treat yourself to dinner at The Narrows and a drink at The Bar.
