I had an exceptional experience at Unwind Wellness (Navy Yard location) for my 40th birthday…read morecelebration. From start to finish, everything was absolute perfection. Chris coordinated all of my reservations and handled every detail seamlessly. They truly did not miss a beat. From the beautifully curated setup to the thoughtful touches--balloons, champagne, mimosas, strawberry lemonade, sparkling water, tea, and an incredible spread of light bites (charcuterie, vegetables, fruit, nuts, and strawberry shortcake)--everything was executed flawlessly. The experience felt incredibly exclusive, almost like I had the entire spa to myself and my guests. Antonio, the owner, greeted us personally and ensured we received white glove treatment from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. I genuinely felt like a queen celebrating such a special milestone. When I walked into the lounge and saw the setup, I was overwhelmed--in the best way. I actually cried. The robes, slippers, added seating, and overall décor were stunning. Every detail felt intentional and elevated. My massage with Brenda was phenomenal. She worked out tension I didn't even realize I was carrying, and her nurturing, calming energy made the experience even more special. I left feeling relaxed, cared for, and completely restored. I'll absolutely be booking with her again--and I'm already planning to return for a facial with Ruby. If you've ever considered celebrating your birthday--or any special occasion--this way, run, don't walk to Unwind Wellness. I would rate this experience a 1000 out of 10. You will be cared for, celebrated, and treated exceptionally well.

A spa day to celebrate my birthday at the Salamander Spa in DC and I loved every minute of it!…read more I was greeted by the receptionist and taken to the relaxation room as I waited to be taken to the spa area. I was given a brief tour of the facility and since I arrived 45 min before my service I was able to enjoy the infinity pool, steam room and sauna. The ice cold washcloths by the sauna were heavenly. Taquita did both my signature massage and my pure radiance facial. She was amazing! She took the time to ask me my pressure preferences and well, the rest is history. After my treatments, I enjoyed reading my book in the relaxation room while hydrating with the water that was provided. The snacks were also a nice touch. Will I be back? Yes, I think this might become a birthday tradition.

Aura Spa is a quality spa inside the Vida Fitness in Navy Yard without breaking the bank. Here's…read morewhy I enjoyed it: 1) Location: It's inside the Vida Fitness in Navy Yard. Check in at the gym front desk and head straight back through the door that says "Aura Spa." There's street and garage parking nearby and a metro only blocks away. 2) Price: For a 60-minute quality massage in a nice environment, it only cost $115 not including tip. For this area, that's not bad. 3) Experience: It was a great experience. They made sure you stay hydrated, don't make you wait, and don't talk to you during the massage so you can relax.

Let me preface by saying there are two entrances to VIDA fitness, one facing 4th Street SE, and the…read moremain doors/entrance where the spa is, faces Tingey Street SE (basically just around the corner!). See photo attached for entrance to the spa. I came here because I pulled my shoulder and it hurt to bend, turn, lay down, sit up, and basically everything else. I saw Agnes and she was amazing. She was attentive and gentle but still got the job done. The inside was so calm, and the ambience was relaxing and chill. I definitely felt pampered. I scheduled my appointment last night and was able to get in today. I have another appointment later this week since my massage therapist back home said to wait 5-7 days if you're getting a massage for a targeted area/for muscle pain, but I will definitely come here again! Another Yelper said $115/60 mins is great for Navy Yard, and while I think I could find less elsewhere, Agnes was worth it and I cant wait to go again. I felt immediate relief in my shoulder, and she even worked out knots in my lower back. She provided a full body massage (head, neck, shoulders, back, lower back, glutes, legs) and I left feeling like a new person.

The facilities are clean, the staff and masseuses are professional and kind, and their services are very well priced. I've paid much more for luxury hotel spas experiences, but honestly, Etalon is where I continue coming back. Sara L is my favorite masseuse. I see her for foot reflexology and personalized deep tissue massages (always 90 minutes, because 60 isn't enough time). She is incredibly talented and very sweet! I've also been to Glenda a few times and she is great. Definitely check out Etalon Day Spa -- 5 stars!

They both had amazing things to say about their experiences. I'm definitely overdue for a return -- I can't wait to go back this year!

They do have couple massages as an option, if you're interested. I love love love the Pendry. It's a whole vibe, it's giving rich mama vibes. Luxurious in every way. I typically do not use my phone while at this spa because of the sign that tells you not to as soon as you enter the woman's locker area. I was able to be a rebel with a Yelp cause and snap a few pics this go round because lucky for me, I was the first client and no one was around. Pros: This is hands down an absolute elegant spa! Probably one of the best in the DC area compared to the many other Luxury hotels. The amenities before and after a service are great. (Early bird appointments, you can use the amenities after your service, do not come early, they open promptly at 10 a.m.) Professional Staff, always courteous from the front entrance until you leave. Shout out to Wayne! Quality in all aspects! People, services, and products! They have a eucalyptus steam room, dreamy! Leave your flat iron, etc at home they have it all and the best brands too! They offer champagne! You can use the hotel amenities if you come. It's never ever super crowded. If you're paying this kind of money you don't want to be in a crowd. Spas should be peaceful. You can easily stay 3-4 hours, I always do! Cons: Parking: I love to just uber here and stay the night but if I don't, the con, parking is crazy! If you're using their spa you can valet for $35 for up to 3 hours! Sign me up, cause the garages are confusing and it's almost the same price for a couple of hours. Relaxation area: The relaxation area is in a common area not secluded from guests. It's not intimate. Gessika was perfect. My facial with her was fantastic. Wallace is my go to for massages. They have a new guy that is highly recommended, may have to try him next time! The price for services do not include gratuity but they do add on 22%. 18% goes to the person who assists you. Average day at the spa, $280-$500. Worth every penny! Overall, this place is a winner! Thanks to all the staff at the Spa Pendry! I'll see you soon.

I had a GREAT day!…read more We came on a Tuesday during the week and I loved it! It was relaxing and not overly busy, but did get busier as the day went, but it still wasn't overly crowded. We hung out there from noon to 8PM, so yes, we spent most of the day there and didn't even feel the need for any spa treatments! I loved that they supplied slippers and you could walk around with slippers instead of running around barefoot to everywhere. I would have given it five stars if it weren't for some of the jets not working, the temperature in some of the pools not matching the water temperature, the sauna rooms not hot enough, and the small menu of food options. But I did love that they had a media room to relax and watch TV, have an amazing pool upstairs which was the most crowded of all the places, and different places to just relax. So I was definitely relaxed! We enjoyed the main level pool the most and I loved that they served alcohol! So we had the option for drink or two. There were no kids either! So I would say this is a perfect getaway for adults for a one day trip!
