Spa Ssakwa’q’n: A Haven of Wellness
The name “Ssakwa’q’n,” pronounced “Sock-wah-kin,” is derived from the Coeur d’Alene tribal word for water, “sitkwe,” and reflects the pristine alpine lakes characteristic of North Idaho. This expansive 15,000-square-foot facility is one of the largest wellness centers in the Inland Northwest. Its architecture, featuring natural light, stone, and cedar, pays homage to the Coeur d’Alene Tribe’s deep connection to the natural environment.
The spa boasts a beautiful, co-ed indoor/outdoor courtyard with a 12-person outdoor hot tub, dry saunas, and cold plunge pools, ideal for contrast therapy to ease muscles after a round of golf. Guests can also relax in a serene tea lounge with views of the picturesque Chinook Meadow.
The highly skilled staff offers a comprehensive menu of services designed to meet diverse needs, from loosening a golfer’s tense shoulders to providing a complete escape:
- Massages: Including deep tissue and specialized hot stone therapies.
- Skincare & Facials: Advanced treatments using organic products to restore skin’s radiance.
- Body Treatments: Such as the Wetlands Body Refiner, formulated with nutrient-rich ingredients to detoxify and firm the skin.
- Natural Nail Salon: Full-service manicures and pedicures for comprehensive pampering.
