Self-Care Stay: A Midweek Escape to Refresh and Recharge at Turf Valley Resort

Discover the local hidden gem where moms can unwind, recharge, and indulge in the ultimate wellness reset, no long drive required!

As a mom, I wear a lot of hats, chauffeur, chef, cheerleader, snack fairy, and occasionally, referee. Most days are go-go-go, and if you’re anything like me, your “me time” consists of hiding in the pantry with a snack & doom scrolling. So when I say this midweek escape to Turf Valley Resort’s spa changed my entire mood, I mean it.

This place is a true gem nestled right here in Ellicott City, and it offers the kind of peace, luxury, and pampering we all need, but rarely give ourselves. I got to try their CBD Himalayan Salt Body Glow with a Vichy shower, and let me just say, this treatment alone is reason enough to book a midweek getaway.

My Spa Experience: CBD Himalayan Salt Body Glow + Vichy Shower = Pure Bliss

From the moment I stepped into the spa, I felt like I had entered a bubble of calm. The spa is warm, welcoming, and designed for relaxation from the inside out. I was quickly taken to a serene treatment room where the magic began.

The CBD Himalayan Salt Body Glow is a full-body scrub that uses mineral-rich Himalayan salt and soothing, water-soluble CBD to exfoliate and relax tired muscles. As a mom constantly on the go, my body was begging for this kind of care.

After the scrub, I experienced something totally new to me: a Vichy shower. Imagine lying on a warm table while a series of gentle, cascading water jets rinse you from head to toe. It was like a warm waterfall washing away every ounce of tension.

The treatment ends with a silky application of CBD-infused body butter, leaving your skin glowing, hydrated, and softer than it’s felt in ages. I walked out of that room lighter, calmer, and 100% more “me.”

But Wait, There’s So Much More to Love

  • Body Treatments: From detoxifying seaweed wraps to firming body masques and hydrating scrubs, their body treatments are like little miracles for your skin. You can pair many of them with enhancements like scalp massages or aromatherapy for that extra “ahhh” factor.

  • Massage Therapies: Their massage menu is expansive, Swedish, deep tissue, hot stone, prenatal, reflexology, you name it. They even offer couples massages, perfect for a little midweek date or special occasion reset.

  • Facial Services: I haven’t tried them yet, but their facials are calling my name. Whether your skin needs hydration, rejuvenation, or a deep cleanse, the estheticians customize treatments based on your skin’s unique needs. 

Don't Miss the Specials (Especially the Monday One!)

If you're a teacher, law enforcement officer, member of the military, EMT, doctor, or nurse, Turf Valley Spa has something just for you. Every Monday, they offer a 15% discount on any single spa service as a way of saying thank you for everything you do.

You can also enjoy their deluxe amenities, including access to the indoor pool, whirlpool, steam room, and full-service locker rooms. It's easy to spend a whole afternoon here without feeling rushed, and trust me, you'll want to.

Why I’m Making Turf Valley Spa Part of My Routine

After just one visit, I knew I’d be back. It’s not just a spa, it’s an experience. It’s an opportunity to press pause and pour back into yourself. Whether you go solo, plan a spa day with friends, or surprise your partner with a couples massage, you’ll walk away feeling restored.

Sometimes we wait for a birthday, a holiday, or a “perfect time” to prioritize ourselves. But you don’t need a reason. You need a moment, and Turf Valley makes it easy to take one.
