The Spa Vita di Lago, located in the Ritz-Carlton Lake Las Vegas, is one of Vegas’ best spas. Roughly 30 minutes away from the Strip, the spa is worth every minute of driving required to get there. And once you arrive, you may never want to leave.

A Tuscan-inspired design permeates the 30,000 square-foot spa, which features marble flooring, dark woods, terraces, soothing waterfalls, and a meditation garden. The waiting areas are adorned with large palms and fresh flowers, as well as black-and-white photographs of Tuscany. The spa contains 24 treatment rooms, separate men’s and women’s spas with dry saunas, steam rooms, whirlpools, and clubrooms, and a full-service salon. The spa also has an excellent fitness center that includes elliptical machines with their own individual televisions, as well as an exercise studio hosting daily fitness classes. Unlike many other spas on the Strip, hotel guests can use the spa’s facilities for free.

The Spa Vita di Lago offers alternative and Tuscan-inspired treatments that pamper and beautify while addressing the effects of the desert sun. Services offered include massages, facials, signature treatments, body treatments, hair, make-up, and nail services, and wellness services, as well as a wide variety of treatments for expecting women.

If you have skin that needs moisturizing, problem skin that needs working, mature skin that needs revitalizing, or stressed skin that needs relaxing, there’s a facial at Spa Vita di Lago for you. The massages are also world-class; traditional therapies are offered with multiple options such as tandem, aromatherapy, and in-room massages. For the most unique Spa Vita di Lago therapy, try the Muscle Repair Massage, which uses natural herbs to promote circulation and relieve muscle congestion.

The unique body treatments, however, are the star of Spa Vita di Lago. Ingredients such as prickly pear cactus and aloe are used for desert-treating scrubs and moisturizers, while jetted tubs and Vichy showers hydrate and refresh.

When you’ve finished revitalizing your body at the Spa Vita di Lago, take advantage of the wellness services, such as stargazing, guided hikes, or meditation classes, so that you can refresh your mind as well. The Spa Vita di Lago is truly a full-body wellness experience.
