Shoji Spa, nestled in the woods just outside of Asheville, North Carolina, has been named one of The Gemmies in the United States by local travel experts. Established in 2006 by owner Roberta Jordan after being inspired by Japan’s focus on wellness, Shoji Spa offers a Japanese-inspired retreat within the Pisgah National Forest.
Upon arrival, guests are greeted with a serene atmosphere and invited to change into a Japanese robe before soaking in private hot tubs surrounded by trees. The salt-infused hydrotherapy tubs promote muscle relaxation and healing, with access to a cedar sauna and cold showers for contrast therapy. Optional tub-side Japanese tea service is also available for an additional price.
The spa also offers a variety of massage services, including Swedish, Deep Tissue, Hot Stone, and Prenatal, provided by world-class therapists. Rates and reservations can be found on the Shoji Spa website or by calling (828) 299-0999.
Asheville is slowly recovering from recent natural disasters, offering visitors a chance to support local businesses like Hole Donuts for delicious treats. The Gemmies collection highlights unique and exceptional destinations across the country, showcasing the heartbeat of each location.
For a transformative experience that combines Japanese-inspired wellness with the tranquility of the North Carolina mountains, Shoji Spa offers a truly unique retreat. Experience the calming effects of nature and relaxation at this hidden gem in the heart of the forest.
