Salt Spa St. Augustine specializes in relaxation treatments featuring a salt cave, flotation therapy, and a sauna. The salt spa treatments have been used for centuries and provide mood and immune system enhancing properties. Flotation tanks and the salt cave help relieve stress and allow visitors to escape from worries while vacationing in St. Augustine.
Salt therapy is also called halo therapy — halo being a Greek word for salt. It also helps with depression, sleep, and muscle recovery. Lights in the spa can be changed to reflect the mood and needs of those receiving treatment. A full line of salt products are also available for purchase.
The Salt Spa is inspired by the salt mines in Poland. Research showed that while the main population would struggle with diseases and illnesses, especially sicknesses affecting the lungs, the miners who worked in the salt mine were spared. To this day, Polish people make the salt mines a space to do community activities, exposing themselves as much as possible to the health benefits.
Visitors can enjoy an environment completely inspired by the caves, with the salt rock-covered walls, crushed salt on the ground, and humidifiers that keep the space at 69°F and 60% humidity. A unique air composition containing salt and ionized microelement is also dispersed throughout the space.
Wedding parties are available for up to eight people at the Salt Spa.
The Salt Spa St. Augustine is located on Cordova Street next to Centennial House.
