Some of the best spas in Las Vegas aren’t necessarily the big spots that grab all the headlines. You can find some truly high-end and luxurious options right off the Strip, like The Drift Spa at The Palms Hotel. This seemingly tucked away gem is the perfect place to pamper yourself without having to deal with all the tourists that flock to the latest spa hotspot.

The Drift Spa is comprised of two-stories that feature 20 treatment rooms, including special rooms reserved just for couples. There are separate spas for men and women, each offering plenty of privacy to help you completely immerse yourself in a soothing experience. Most popular are the 50 or 80 minute Swedish massages, but if you’re looking for a quick zen fix, you can opt for the 25 minute massage, which still provides you plenty of relaxation. We also love the facials because they will tailor your treatment to your specific skin type. The Drift Spa’s signature facial provides a deep cleanse while hydrating and eradicating impurities from your skin. While men might be a bit reluctant to embrace a spa facial treatment, we recommend trying the aptly named Gentlemen’s Facial, which provides a scalp, neck and shoulder massage to hit all the most important stress spots.

The only hamman in Las Vegas resides at The Drift Spa and the Turkish wonder is very similar to a traditional steamroom, but there is ample space to spread out as well as more private seating options along the walls. The hamman room is perhaps the crown jewel of The Drift Spa and also boasts very stylish high-ceilings which have pinpoint lights that create a stunning starlit skyline above. The temperatures here are never too hot either, so you won’t feel like you’re in one of those ultra-steamy rooms. One of the nicest things about The Drift Spa is the soothing yet sleek atmosphere the runs throughout. Unlike a lot of spas in Sin City, there are actually windows for you to look out while you enjoy a dip in the pool and soak in the jacuzzi. During the warmer months, you can venture into The Drift Spa’s luxurious outdoor garden lounges that feature plenty of trees, which provide much needed shade.

The next time you want to treat yourself to a luxurious relaxation in Las Vegas without walking into a tourist trap, explore the enchanting and soothing wonders of The Drift Spa at The Palms.
