Spa Anjali at The Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa, Avon
You’ll find 27,000 square feet to rest, replenish, and work up a sweat at Spa Anjali, located at The Westin Riverfront Resort and Spa in Avon. The spa offers 14 treatment rooms and an extensive menu focused on three healing mountain traditions – the Rockies, the Alps, and the Himalayas. Spa Anjali’s Barefoot Recovery Massage, also known as Ashiatsu, is a unique deep tissue treatment in which the therapist uses their feet – rather than hands – to perform the service, allowing for very deep, long strokes over the body. There is less discomfort than traditional deep tissue work, with up to three times more pressure. Benefits include pain relief, increased flexibility, and long-lasting results. Spa Anjali guests also enjoy access to the resort’s state-of-the-art Athletic Club, offering 50+ group exercise classes each week and a stunning outdoor pool with three infinity hot tubs.
