Zero gravity chairs. Infrared sauna. Massage….need I go on?
Everything you could want from a spa, The Salt Cave has it. The incredible studio has everything you can imagine and in the last place you’d expect it – St. John, Indiana. The little dot, which is a Chicago suburb has a few noteworthy shops and salons going for it, but The Salt Cave might just be the last thing you’re anticipating.
My experience here was something else, and quite unforgettable. The day in general was so relaxing, I was sorry it had to end. From the time I walked in, until the moment I left, I felt welcomed, taken care of and appreciated.
The first thing I took advantage of is what the place is named after – the salt cave. Literally a man-made cave-like room, only white socks allowed, with zero gravity chairs to lounge in, a star-gazing ceiling and of course, salt.
My next mission was to try out their ionic foot detox. Basically a foot bath that strips out toxins from your body.
Next, was the infrared sauna. I enjoyed heating up in that after sitting in the cold salt cave for a while. Definitely the order you should try when you’re there.
Finally, and at long last, I got my relaxation massage. The best 30 minutes of the day, no doubt. And while she only offers gentle relaxation massage and no deep tissue, if you’re looking to simply fall asleep after a day trying all the other amenities at the spa, then this just might be the best massage for you.
Lastly, I did go home with a few items they have for sale here; the coolest being their salt soap, which I can’t wait to try!
Definitely check out The Salt Cave the next time you’re in St. John, Indiana, because it’s pretty much the coolest thing the town has to offer. Just make sure that when you do book your time there, you let them know Lisa sent you!
