Woodlands Spa - Farmington, Pennsylvania - day spa that's part of the Woodlands Resort

Woodlands Spa is a 5-Star destination spa and resort that caters to individuals and families. Located on 2,000 beautiful wooded acres in southwestern Pennsylvania, the Woodlands Spa is part of the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort complex which includes a AAA Five Diamond lodging and dining, championship golf courses, a shooting range and an outdoor adventure center in addition to the luxury spa.

In 1968, Pittsburgh industrialist Willard F. Rockwell established a private hunting lodge on the site that is now the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort. He named the lodge Nemacolin Trails Hunting Reserve, after a native Delaware Indian chief who had trail-blazed a route through the mountains nearby. In 1979, the property briefly left the family when it was sold to Cordelia Mellon Sciafe, but was re-purchased by Kent Rockwell in 1982, and opened to the public. In 1987, the property was purchased at auction by Joseph Hardy III as a gift for his daughter Maggie, the current owner of the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort. Hardy and his daughter began renovations to the grounds, adding lodging, a day spa, skiing trails, golf courses and more. The Woodlands Resort is now a world-class resort and spa that boasts a Four-Star rating from the Mobil Travel Guide and a Four Diamonds rating from the American Automobile Association.

The Day Spa was one of the first of the expansions undertaken at the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort. It opened in 1988, and in 2005, the Hardy's added 12 treatment rooms to the Spa to bring the total number of treatment rooms on site to 40. In addition to the adult services, Woodlands Spa also features the Spa Voyage Kidz Spa which is geared to children ages 5-15, and offers child-sized versions of adult spa treatments in a fun atmosphere.
