Health and wellness are at the heart of the Solage Napa Valley spa resort experience. Artfully designed and ecologically conscious, Spa Solage offers relaxing and invigorating services, including new twists on the renowned Calistoga mud and mineral water therapies. 

Choose to soak in their co-ed geo-thermal pool warmed to body temperature, or in the privacy of a separate women’s areas featuring 103° jetted mineral pools, a rejuvenating cool plunge, and eucalyptus steam for whole-body purification. Try the Solage Signature Mudslide and improve your well being three-fold. This modern twist on the traditional Calistoga mud bath is a unique three-part detoxifying treatment: “the mud,” “the waters,” and “the rest.”

Solage’s mineral-enriched mud is customized with your choice of pure essential oils to achieve specific results tailored to your needs. After an attendant assists with your mud application, rest in one of the heated mud lounges or bask in the sun while your body is purified, then relax and rehydrate in a private luxurious soaking tub featuring Solage’s healing geo-thermal mineral waters.
