There is always so much to do and see in New York City that it can seem as if you’re always going, going, going on your vacation. You and your partner are having a great time exploring Times Square and Central Park, or hitting all the best restaurants on your list, and you’re getting worn out. Vacations are supposed to be relaxing as well as fun and interesting, right?
Spa packages are also excellent gifts for birthdays and anniversaries and are just a great way to show your special person that you care. Most of us need a reminder to slow down every once in a while, and a trip to the spa with our partner is a great way to do that.
Instead of spending another day seeing the sights, waiting in line with crowds of people, take some time out to reconnect with your partner at one of New York City’s exceptional spas. You’ll both be given that four-star treatment, and you’ll leave feeling refreshed.
We’ve compiled a list of the 6 best spas for couples in the heart of New York City:
Aire Ancient Baths

For a truly unique experience, try the Wine Bath Experience, where you and your partner luxuriate in a bath full of antioxidant Spanish Tempranillo grapes. Following your wine soak, get a 60-minute, full-body massage.

The Sake Soak, where you relax in a bath of hot sake, is great for relieving stress and fatigue from your trip.

The Couples Spa
320 E. 65th St., Upper East Side

This spa, as its name suggests, caters to couples looking for a joint relaxation experience. Previous guests point to little extras, such as massage chairs, tea, and chocolates, as something that really took their visits up a notch.
Having a busy week with no time to take for yourself or your partner can be taxing on your and their minds. Pop into the spa Monday-Friday for a quick 50-minute Swedish or Deep Tissue massage followed by a cup of tea right after. Take some time doing your crazy week to pause, breathe and reset.
Go for a standard couple’s massage package, or add in the aromatherapy package for calming lavender oils. If you’re feeling up for a soak, choose the flower bath package. For the full experience, pick the Enhanced Couple’s Flower Bath package, where you’ll receive massages, full body scrubs, and a soak in the flower bath.
Cornelia Spa at the Surrey
The Surrey, 20 E. 76th St., Upper East Side

For the ultimate private couple’s spa experience, you can’t miss The Cornelia. If you’re short on time, enjoy a 60- or 90-minute couple’s massage in a private suite. Or, if you want to luxuriate a little longer, book the Superior Couple’s Suite, which offers a private soak and steam, champagne toast, and private botanical tasting along with your massage.
Enhance your experience by adding aromatherapy, scalp treatment, lymphatic drainage, or bespoke wellness socks to any massage. Or, leave looking and feeling your best by stopping in for a manicure/pedicure before you head out.
The Spa on Wall Street
40 Broad St., Wall Street
Enjoy a private Serenity Suite with your partner that begins with a customized 30-minute bath for two, followed by a 90-minute massage. Choose from signature, deep tissue, or desert stone massage for the ultimate experience.
