StoweFlake’s Aqua Solarium
If you’re interested in spending the late afternoon at a luxurious spa receiving full body Ayuvrvedic treatments or other healing therapies, you might want to visit other Stowe facilities such as StoweFlake’s Aqua Solarium.

You won’t believe your eyes, so trust your body. Just when you thought you’d seen and experienced it all, the soothing thunder of a twelve-foot high massaging waterfall draws you into the Aqua Solarium.

The Spa at Stoweflake features the Bingham Hydrotherapy Waterfalls (a 12 foot rock formation with cascading waterfall inspired by the area’s famous Bingham Falls) and a Hungarian Mineral Soaking Pool (a therapeutic European-style pool featuring mineral salts from Hungary). They are a unique and wonderful way to drown out the outside world and wash any lingering stress away.

Design features include skyscape ceiling, oversized windows offering spectacular views of Mt. Mansfield, and a hand-painted meadow-scape mural by a Vermont artist.

Sanctuary Lounges

The art of relaxation gets its own gallery in your sanctuary lounge. Soak up the warm glow of a crackling fire, sipping a refreshment from the complimentary juice, fruit, and tea bar in the men’s and women’s private lounges. Overstuffed chairs you can simply melt into are the perfect place to clear your mind. Read, drift away on a daydream, or take the opportunity to pinch yourself - yes, it’s really real.

Meditative Garden

Stroll through our 10,000 square-foot meditative garden where you can relax and enjoy the water sounds (in season) of the Solacium per Aqua or soothe the soul as you walk the Labyrinth pathway. The Meditative Garden features Solacium per Aqua; the Latin word ‘solacium’ translates in English to solace, or comfort, and ‘per aqua’ means well-being through water. Inspired by Vermont’s pristine rivers and natural streams, this ten-foot, hand crafted stone water sculpture is designed to relax you as you sit on its carefully sculpted and smoothed edges.

Our 4,000 square-foot, seven-circuit classical Labyrinth that was designed by famed geomancer, Dr. Patrick MacManaway of Scotland, is also available for you. Meander in a serene and relaxing outdoor sanctuary for personal reflection. The garden will feature regional flowers and herbs that are used in select Stoweflake Signature Treatments and the restaurant’s Spa Cuisine. (Geomancy is the practice of identifying subtle energies, or earth radiations, that directly affect our health and well-being. It involves identifying those energies that are disruptive to our lives and balancing them.)

Spa Treatment Rooms

The Spa at Stoweflake features 30 treatment rooms and 120 treatments. Stoweflake signature treatments celebrate the four magnificent seasons and indigenous products of the Green Mountains. The Spa Treatment Rooms and Suites feature Asian-themes which are designed to enhance Asian body treatments. Share the ultimate spa experience with a friend, family member, or significant other.
