While our staff was exploring all that Southwestern Virginia has to offer over the past several months, we again decided to focus on what the areas of Roanoke and Salem, Virginia have to offer travelers to the area. We found a great hotel and restaurant in the Hotel Roanoke, but what about refreshing the body too? That’s where the quaint SpaVa of Salem comes in. Once you step inside of these doors, a chic New York boutique spa awaits you with an experience that is second to none in this area.

Our staff has seen the good and bad of the spa and salon business and when we walked into SpaVA, we did not know what to expect other than what we heard from readers that suggested we check this place out and by the time we were finished we were glad we did.

The first thing that comes to mind when you step inside of the doors is the down home feeling that staff exhibits. They truly care about your patronage and whether you are just here for a pedicure or an afternoon of services, they will treat you like royalty.

One feature we really liked about the facility was their unique treatment rooms. Every room offers something different from vibrant and comfy furniture to a rustic brick wall from the original Kroger Grocery store, the building was attached to a number of years ago. The sky light feature in one of the massage rooms will certainly have you feeling like you’re on Cloud 9 after any treatment.

Our Swedish massage was one of the most relaxing we have had in sometime. They care about whether you really want to come and de-stress, relax, rejuvenate with this treatment. The Swedish is available in 30 and 60 increments and this time of year if you combine it with their pumpkin facials special, it is a way to melt away the stress of a hard work week.

What we most liked about Spa VA other than experiencing the massage was the amount of selections that you have for massage or facials. They offer 5 packages that include some of their signature services with a combination for everyone.
