The Best Spas in Gulf Shores for the Ultimate Girls’ Trip Reset

ByJewels Rhode Updated on

I recently went on a girls’ trip to Gulf Shores, Alabama, and it was just what we needed—relaxing, fun, and full of good vibes. Think: sunset beach walks, seafood feasts, nonstop laughs, and of course… a dreamy spa day. While there are so many fun things to do in Gulf Shores, no girls’ trip is complete without slipping into robes, sipping cucumber water, and getting pampered like queens.

If you’re planning your own girls’ getaway, here are the top spas in Gulf Shores you’ll want to book ASAP to treat yourself (and your besties) to some much-deserved R&R:

Luxury Spas in Gulf Shores

1. The Spa & Salon at the beach club – Gulf Shores

Tucked inside the gorgeous Beach Club Resort, The Spa & Salon is the definition of coastal luxury. Their full-service spa offers a range of treatments, including massages, body scrubs, facials, and manicures and pedicures. The best part is that after your treatment, you can step right onto the private beach for a little post-massage ocean therapy.

Must-try treatment: The Beach Glow Body Polish—it’s a full-body exfoliation followed by a hydrating massage. Your skin will be glowing like you just got back from a tropical escape.

Mid-Range Spas

2. Serenity at the Beach Salon & Spa – Orange Beach

Don’t let the laid-back beach vibes fool you—this spa takes pampering seriously. Serenity offers a range of spa treatments, from deep tissue massages to luxurious skin treatments, all delivered with top-tier service. It’s cozy, calming, and perfect for groups. We booked hot stone massages and were able to share treatment rooms, which made the whole experience feel more personal and enjoyable.

Girls’ trip tip: Book their spa party package for a group experience that includes champagne, snacks, and services tailored to your individual needs.

3. Fusion Spa – Gulf Shores

Fusion Spa blends classic spa treatments with modern skincare tech, so it’s ideal if you’re craving a mix of relaxation and results. Think: microdermabrasion facials, advanced anti-aging treatments, and tension-melting massages. Clean, professional, and peaceful—this one’s perfect if you’re looking for a wellness-forward reset.

Budget-Friendly Spa

4. Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa – Gulf Shores

If you’re looking for quality without the splurge, Hand & Stone is a reliable go-to. They offer a wide range of services, including Swedish, hot stone, and sports massages, plus customized facials using Dermalogica and ClarityRx products.

Good to know: First-time visitors often receive discounted rates, and you can book online in advance, which I highly recommend—this location tends to be busy during peak season.

5. Gulf Shores Massage Therapy

Looking for something low-key and local with affordable prices? Gulf Shores Massage Therapy is a hidden gem. It’s not fancy, but their therapists are top-notch, and the vibe is calm, clean, and entirely focused on your comfort.

Pro tip: Book a couples or besties massage and follow it up with brunch nearby. You’ll both feel brand new.

Final Thoughts: The Best Spas in Gulf Shores

Whether you’re planning a full-on spa day or just sneaking in a quick massage between beach hangs, the spas in Gulf Shores offer plenty of options to help you unwind and relax. It’s the perfect way to add a little extra luxury to your beach getaway — especially if you’re on a girls’ trip. Trust me, after a day of lounging in the sun or exploring the coast, a spa session will have you (and your group chat) feeling refreshed, pampered, and already plotting your next trip back.

24 Hours on Catalina Island

ByJewels Rhode

I have a thing for discovering United States cities that feel like international destinations.

Here’s a travel guide to spending 24 hours on Catalina Island.
