Aphora Spa

This 11,000-square-foot retreat has “spa day” written all over it. Drop in for a yoga class and you’ll want to linger in the eco-friendly retail area, dine at the café and treat yourself to Vosges elixirs and truffles. Better yet, lose yourself in organic-focused treatments like the Singing Bowl ($140) or Organic Stone and Crystal ($160) facials. We hauled our stressed-out selves to Glenview and said we wanted to leave “utterly relaxed.” Our facial technician took the challenge so seriously, we literally had to check to be sure she hadn’t used extra fingers to achieve the desire effect. Ladies can finish with a complementary water ritual, featuring a monsoon shower and signature scrub, aromatherapy steam and sauna and a few moments of quiet in a private room with just you, a cozy chair and a bubbling fountain. Mission accomplished.
