Many visit to mark special milestones with us, from birthdays to anniversaries, making their experience all the more meaningful.

Beyond our luxurious treatments, guests are enchanted by our amenity-rich wellness area, which includes an infinity pool, cozy fire pits, and bubbling jetted spas. What truly sets us apart, though, is our commitment to excellence.

Key Features: Spa Monarch is a modern mountain sanctuary designed to indulge every sense. Among our most beloved amenities is the Laconium Relaxation Lounge, where heated, contoured seating, warm floors, and a tranquil water feature offer a gentler alternative to traditional saunas. It’s perfect for detoxifying the body and calming the mind.

The Aqua Spa Lounge invites guests to unwind in a spacious jetted pool complete with waterfall massage features and panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains. Just steps away, our Experiential Shower offers a multi-sensory journey with programs like ice fog, tropical rain, and gentle snowfall—each choreographed to awaken a sense of inner well-being.

The Brine Inhalation Light Therapy Lounge introduces guests to a cascading wall of salt crystals, a projector rotating through various soft lit colors, and soothing music. This serene space harnesses the power of salt aerosols to promote both respiratory and psychological wellness.

Insider Tip: Take your time! A visit to Spa Monarch is best enjoyed unhurriedly. We recommend setting aside at least four hours to fully immerse yourself in the experience. If you’re booking multiple services, build in timeto relax between treatments to maximize the benefits.

Don’t forget to stay hydrated and enjoy a light meal beforehand to keep your energy up. Be sure to pack a swimsuit so you can take full advantage of our water amenities.

And here’s a pro tip: if you're scheduling a facial, book it last. That way, you can indulge in all the amenities beforehand and allow the luxurious products from your facial to work their magic long after you leave.

The journey concludes with a targeted therapeutic massage, tailored to your body’s needs. From start to finish, this treatment is a full-body reset that leaves you feeling hydrated, balanced, and utterly revived.

Insider’s Favorite: It’s hard to choose, but the Coconut Poultice Massage holds a special place in my heart. I’ve always loved a great massage, and this treatment takes it to the next level. Warm poultices, filled with fragrant coconut and essential oils, are gently steamed and applied using rhythmic, flowing massage techniques.

The nourishing coconut oil, combined with the heat from the poultice, works wonders—melting away muscle tension, improving circulation, and deeply hydrating the skin.It’s the perfect remedy for stress and fatigue, leaving you feeling completely restored.

Every time I receive this service, I walk away feeling profoundly relaxed, refreshed, and replenished.

Spa Monarch also offers a variety of nail services including manicures and pedicures.

Most Unique Treatment: One of our most unique offerings is the Healing Sound Massage, a deeply immersive experience that harmonizes body, mind, and spirit. Your journey begins and ends with a crystal bowl sound meditation, designed to quiet the mind and set the tone for deep relaxation.

From there, a skilled therapist performs a full-body massage, easing muscular tension and guiding you into a profound sense of calm. What sets this treatment apart is the integration of a chakra-balancing mat, embedded with seven natural gemstones and enhanced by light therapy.

This powerful combination promotes energy alignment and emotional clarity, helping you leave the table feeling balanced, restored, and completely renewed.

The spa incorporates a curated selection of luxury wellness and skincare brands in its services.
