Developments in medicine, health care, fitness, and wellness in the last century have been highlighted by the popularity of massage and the development of advanced spa equipment and techniques that have revived and modernized historic bathing rituals.

In particular, the history of bathing practices at the Virginia springs serves as inspiration for the Williamsburg Water Cures Experience. Begin with a full-body, dry-brush exfoliation to remove dull skin, followed by a wonderfully gentle Vichy shower “rain massage.” Finish your hour-and-a-half experience with an Aqua Latte bath to nourish and seal your skin’s moisture and freshness.*
