in Lake Placid
If you’re looking for a relaxing day in the ADK, treat yourself to a spa day in Lake Placid!
Keep reading to see a brief overview of the spas and treatments offered in Lake Placid. Also included is a price comparison and some of my own personal experiences from visiting the Spas in Lake Placid to help you decide where to get your relaxation on!
Adirondack Foot Sanctuary
Located right next door, the Adirondack Foot Sanctuary offers a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. As the name suggests, they have a number of foot-focused treatments like Adk Signature Soak, Moor Mud Foot Mask, and a lower leg & foot massage. They also have a sugar scrub for hands or feet, manicures and pedicures, and Sothy’s facials.
Pricing: Signature soak & lower leg and foot massage: 60 minutes $80
Booking: You can book your appointment at the Foot Sanctuary online or by phone.
Personal Experience: As someone who doesn’t love their feet touched, I can say I’ve had a foot soak with an added head, neck, and shoulder massage and it was wonderful! It is a very welcoming, relaxing, Zen environment.
Mirror Lake Inn & Spa
Also within walking distance of the Golden Arrow is the Spa at Mirror Lake Inn. The Spa offers a number of services including traditional massages: deep tissue, hot stone, and Swedish, as wells as couples and prenatal. They also offer unique treatments like a body scrub using local maple sugar and a full body seaweed wrap. The Spa at Mirror Lake Inn also offers facials, waxing, manicures, pedicures, and hair services. Those who receive a facial or massage can also enjoy the use of the men’s and women’s sanctuaries. They book up fast so it is recommended you book in advance.
Price: 50 Minute Deep Tissue Massage $175
Booking: You can book your appointment at Mirror Lake Inn by calling the spa.
Personal Experience: I have never received a massage from here, but I have gotten mani/pedis. It’s a clean and quiet space, and everyone has always been very polite.
Lake Placid Spa
The Lake Placid Spa at Whiteface Lodge is a quick 5 minute drive from the Golden Arrow. They offer traditional massages like Swedish, deep tissue, sport’s, and prenatal. They have add-on services like hot stones, warm oil scalp, and Reiki. The Lake Placid Spa also offers facials, nail services, and a full service salon. When you receive a massage at Whiteface Lodge you also have access to their indoor/outdoor pool and outdoor hot tub.
Price: 60 Minute Deep Tissue Massage $190

Healing Elements
Also just a short 5 minute drive from the Golden Arrow, Healing Elements offers traditional massage treatments including deep tissue, Swedish, and prenatal. They also offer facials, Reiki, cupping, and special services from a Physical Therapy Assistant and Meditation Services.
