A spa experience in The Natural State

Sound extravagant? It can be, but you don't have to pay a fortune to experience the relaxation and luxury of an Arkansas spa getaway. Check out one of the spas in Arkansas, and you'll find both the bargain and the experience of a lifetime.

Hot Springs National Park is the logical place to start since the hot waters have been rejuvenating travelers since the days of DeSoto and his explorers. Hot Springs Arkansas spas run the gamut from the historic Buckstaff Bathhouse on Bathhouse Row and the Arlington Hotel to the modern facilities at the Embassy Suites, The Austin and Mountain Harbor Resort.

Can't spend a weekend? Little Rock Arkansas spas include a variety of day spas, which offer most of the popular spa treatments, such as body waxing, massage, exfoliation, body mud, anti-cellulite wraps, makeup, facials, pedicures, manicures and more.

Eureka Springs in Northwest Arkansas has spa origins as well. The waters here, too, were believed to have medicinal powers, and the sick came in droves seeking miracle cures. Though the springs no longer flow as freely, people still visit Eureka Springs Arkansas spas, looking for healing from the stress of everyday life. Historic hostelries such as the Crescent Hotel and Palace Bathhouse provide Arkansas spa getaways along with several businesses offering day spa options.
