We hit up Balian Springs in Alexandria, Virginia, and it was like stepping into a secret zen oasis in the middle of an industrial park. Two grand elephant statues greet you outside at the entrance, leading you into 3 stories of spa paradise.
This place is loaded with different hydrotherapy pools (think hot tub jets on steroids), each designed to target every muscle you can think of — some you didn’t even know you had. The spa also offers a variety of sauna rooms with special vibes from a Himalayan salt room to a gold room. Feeling adventurous? Check out the charcoal room, infrared therapy, or aromatherapy room.
You can easily spend an entire day at this grand spa. We saw folks taking a (reverse) break in the workroom and others finding their inner peace in the meditation room, but most were just chilling in the indoor and outdoor pools. Even when you’re outside, the spa is so thoughtfully built offering serene tree-top views, you’d never guess you’re surrounded by warehouses just blocks to the highway.
Hungry or thirsty? Balian Springs has you covered with delicious treats from poke bowls and sushi to sandwiches and fries to refreshing beverages, and if booze is your thing, they’ve got that too – sipping a piña colada poolside was beyond amazing!
Balian Springs describes itself as a “one of its kind daily membership-based spa & wellness club.” We’d describe it as an awesome place to relax and unwind anytime. Whether it’s a team outing or a solo escape you deserve a mini-retreat — go today!
Yours in real estate and relaxation,
