Top 100 North American Spas of 2023 Revealed: Palm Springs Oasis Takes the Crown

In the realm of spa and wellness travel, 2023 marked a noticeable resurgence across North America.

Spas of America, a platform dedicated to this niche, has revealed its highly anticipated Top 100 Spas of 2023, shedding light on the preferred escapes for those seeking ultimate relaxation and well-being.

Craig Oliver, president of Spas of America, observed a revival within the spa industry. “Consumers are rediscovering and revisiting beloved wellness havens, exploring new and enticing resorts and hotels, and discovering experiences deeply rooted in fitness, fresh air, and a connection with nature,” he says. The crown jewel of 2023’s spa sanctuaries is The Spa at Séc-he in Palm Springs, California.

The Spa at Séc-he, is an oasis inspired by the ancient healing waters of the Agua Caliente Hot Mineral Spring. Nestled within an expansive wellness space, this sanctuary offers diverse amenities, including gender-specific bathhouses, treatment rooms, a salon, fitness facilities, and captivating outdoor mineral pools.

“This is an amazing accolade for the entire team at Séc-he,” says ​​Saverio (Sal) R. Scheri III, Chief Operating Officer, Agua Caliente Casinos. “From conception through design and now daily operations, the team at Séc-he is focused on creating inimitable experiences for our guests that will stay with them long after their visit. Curating so many unique treatments and immersions that combine to create life-changing practices is the passion of everyone at Séc-he, and this recognition further confirms their dedication.”

“It is an utmost honor for The Spa at Séc-he to be named #No.1 Spa in 2023,” says Daniel Spencer, director of spas, The Spa at Séc-he and Sunstone Spa. “Thank you to Spas of America for this recognition. Creating a one-of-a-kind wellness destination rooted in the sacred healing waters and hot springs of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians and offering innovative and traditional spa therapies has been a dream come true for my team and me.”

The Top 100 Spas of 2023 list includes 82 spas from the United States, 14 from Canada, and four from Mexico.
