Why just go to a spa, when you can go to Spa Castle?

So, I was M.I.A last week because I was moving. My poor body is so bruised, from walking into moving boxes, that it looks like I was just released from Guantanamo. 

And after the stressful week I’ve had, all I can think about is this new spa I saw on Style.com.

I had to be pinched after hearing about the luxury skincare vending machine. After learning of Spa Castle- a 5 story high, 100,000 sq ft. spa in Queens, NY, I’m going to need to be slapped, doused with water and given a bag to hyperventilate into.

This thing is like the Taj Mahal of spas (the Vegas version).

General admission is $35 for weekdays/ $45 for weekends.

Your Spa Castle experience begins the minute you walk through the doors. Oxygen-enriched air is filtered throughout the spa. (I might just go there and hang out in the lobby.)

There are four different, heated mineral pools in the center of the indoor spa. Seven themed sauna rooms. One sauna uses L.E.D color therapy. 

This sauna looks cool. Granted, it doesn’t give me seizures.

Another sauna is lined with real gold (supposedly helps with aches). There’s a salt sauna, lined with blocks of salt from the Himalayas.  (I would probably need to lick the salt off the walls at this point, just to retain water, after all the sweating.) There’s a soil sauna room, which contains the soothing smell of soil and natural herbs. They also have a foot and back massage pool and a cold bath pool.

You can also get reasonably-priced hand, foot and full body massages.

And at Spa Castle, there’s not just a juice bar, there’s an entire food court area. Filled with healthy fares like smoothies and sushi, as well as spaghetti and meatballs, cheeseburgers and Starbucks.  (Just in case you’re feeling a little too detoxified.)

There’s even a sleeping area, so you can take a nap after your relaxing massage (or big cheeseburger lunch).

Since I can’t afford to go on a vacation this winter, maybe I’ll just spend a week at Spa Castle.  Sounds like there are so many rooms, no one will even know if I don’t leave.  And while I’m there, I can chip some of the gold off the gold sauna walls, to save up for a Starbucks Venti Latte.

Good God. That's bloody amazing. I want to move into that place. (Great entry, btw.)

Yes, I want to live there too. And I think there's room enough for everyone to move there and they wouldn't even know:)
