VIBE

With roots in a French Bordeaux vineyard, Caudalie has centered its décor and services on the fruits of the vine. In addition to wine, fresh grapes as well as grape seeds are used to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin and body. With simple yet elegant surroundings evoking a sophisticated atmosphere of relaxation (the waiting room/wine lounge is the perfect place to indulge in a bite and a glass of wine), you’ll feel far, far away from the bustle of Fifth Avenue.

WHY WE LIKE IT

Your inner oenophile will rejoice at a spa that offers everything from a Merlot wrap to a Cabernet scrub. It's a refreshing take on the classic spa experience that really made us sparkle.

WHAT WE WOULD CHANGE

Very, very little.

GOOD TO KNOW

Another unique feature of the spa: its own in-house sommelier! And in case you don't want to get too lightheaded, they offer seasonal plates to go with your wine. Also, don’t worry if you’d rather have a traditional spa treatment minus the grapes; there are offerings for non-oenophiles, too.
