Spa Open House!
Join us for an afternoon of relaxation, holiday zen, and connection at our Spa Open House. Explore the spa with guided tours, enjoy light bites, a signature spa mocktail, and take part in interactive make & take experiences throughout the space.
Create your own bath tea soak blend, whip up a DIY lip scrub, and craft a 2026 affirmation card paired with a mini crystal favor to take home. Meet our talented therapists for complimentary mini skincare consultations, chair massages, and paraffin hand rescue treatments, and be among the first to discover Kin Esthetics, a modern Korean skincare line now available at The Essex Spa — one of the only spas in Vermont to offer this exclusive collection.
Shop open house–only specials, including 10% off esthetician-recommended products, exclusive product bundles, and a complimentary gift with any new membership purchase. Beer, wine, and canned cocktails will also be available for purchase.
This event is free to attend, and no registration is required — just stop by, unwind, and get inspired for your self-care routine.
