A newcomer to the elite Forbes Five-Star spa collection, The Spa & Salon at Aria topped the list for the first time this year. The largest Five-Star rated spa in the country, it includes a Shio Salt Room, heated-stone Ganbanyoku beds and an open-air, co-ed balcony with a pristine infinity pool.
Inside the spa there are 62 treatment rooms offering skincare, massage and hydrotherapy treatments. One of the fanciest facials is the 100-minute Majestic Canyon Collagen Facial ($1,000), a bespoke facial with Swiss-made, premium Valmont products. Groups of up to four may opt for a private Aria Spa Suite with all the regular spa amenities plus a personal steam shower, food and beverages, three-person hydrotherapy tub, relaxation lounge, flat-screen television, overhead sound system and a personalized spa host.
Along with head to toe services at the salon, guests have access to the 6,000 square foot fitness center, which recently added some of the most technologically advanced equipment on the market. There’s an infinity rock climbing wall as well as a cryotherapy chamber to freeze away any post-workout aches and pains.

With luxurious locations spread across five continents, ESPA spas are prestigious and beloved by women and men alike. The “E” in ESPA stands for “education,” but that doesn’t mean you’ll endure a boring lesson at this Five-Star spa. Instead, you’ll go on a blissful journey with a skilled therapist as your guide.
ESPA at Vdara is the “official relaxation partner” of the Vegas Golden Knights, offering two specialty treatments inspired by the Las Vegas hockey team, including the 80-minute Power Play Massage and a regenerating facial called the Vegas Knights Face-Off Treatment. Guests may also choose from a variety of results-oriented, holistic and personalized, massages, treatments and facials.
