Top Spas in Orlando

If you hit the ground running after arriving in Orlando, at some point you might need to shift your pace from "fast forward" to "pause." If so, head directly to one of Orlando’s resort spas. The area has enough standout pampering palaces to indulge every theme-park–weary parent, aching golfer, parched sunbather, and Disney princess.

Each ospa is known for something special, whether it’s the Balinese four-hand massage at the Mandara at Portofino Bay or customized therapies at the Waldorf. Several spas draw on Florida’s citrus-producing region to offer refreshing orange, grapefruit, and lime therapies. And you can go global with massage techniques from Japan, Thailand, Polynesia, and Sweden.

Families who want to stay together can even spa together at treatment centers specializing in youth facials, massages, and manicure/pedicure (aka: mani-pedi) packages. The Ritz-Carlton Orlando treats kids like royalty with manicures, pedicures, and facials. Disney’s Senses Spas at Saratoga Springs and the Grand Floridian offer Magical Manicures and Princess Pedicures.

Make your spa excursion special by planning enough time to use complimentary whirlpools, saunas, and steam rooms. Most spas offer free access to impressively equipped fitness centers and relaxation rooms stocked with herbal teas, fresh fruits, and other goodies. Book treatments early, and ask about gratuities—often 18% to 20%—which might or might not be included in your treatment or package.
