This season, we're giving you a few more reasons to gather, create, celebrate, and slow down. From hands-on holiday decorating and gingerbread houses to floating sound baths, yoga, Pilates, and a cranberry-pomegranate spa treatment that'll make you glow brighter than the star at the top of your tree... there's more than one way to find your holiday spirit on Cape Cod this year.

Find Some Spa-ahhh Time 

Holiday shopping can wait. Your massage table has an opening. 

December at The Beach House Spa comes with a lineup of seasonal treatments designed for winter skin, tired muscles, and anyone whose holiday to-do list could use a strategically scheduled timeout. 

BOOK NOW 

Undaria Drift Ritual 

80 minutes | $270 

Slow all the way down with our December treatment of the month. Dry brushing helps stimulate circulation before a customized full-body massage with OSEA's mineral-rich Undaria Algae Oil melts away tension. A hydrating scalp ritual and restorative body butter finish things off, leaving skin softer, smoother, and ready for winter. 

Merry & Bright 

50 minutes | $195 

This is one holiday glow we fully support. 

A cranberry-pomegranate full-body scrub smooths, hydrates, and brightens your skin, finished with Champagne. Because sometimes holiday wellness involves yoga. Sometimes it involves bubbles. 

A Little Something Extra 

Add a little more glow to your spa day with two seasonal upgrades: 

Ditch the Scarf | $40 
Add a Rael Hydration or Collagen Facial Sheet Mask to any massage or facial. 

Arctic Berry Bonus | $40 
Upgrade your facial with an Eminence Arctic Berry Enzyme Peel for an instant winter glow. 

Gather + Glow 

Because spa days are even better when someone else says, "Should we get another treatment?" 

Groups of four or more enjoy 20% off facials, massages, and body treatments. Waxing and nail services are excluded. 

And if you're still working through your gift list, the Spa Boutique carries Lululemon, Varley, OSEA, Eminence, and more, making it a particularly convenient place to shop for someone who's been very good this year. Yourself counts. 

EXPLORE SPA TREATMENTS

Find Your Holiday Cheer 

Maybe yours is decorating cookies with the kids. Maybe it's building an architecturally questionable gingerbread house while Christmas carolers provide the soundtrack. Maybe it's floating through a sound bath and temporarily forgetting your holiday to-do list exists. 

Or maybe it's Champagne after a cranberry-pomegranate body scrub. 

We don't judge. 

However you celebrate, come make December feel a little brighter, a little lighter, and a lot more like you.

Editorial Note 

The story follows a celebrate, reset, indulge structure. It supports the Ocean Edge brand idea that guests do not have to choose between fun and wellness: December can be cookies and Pilates, gingerbread and sound baths, Champagne and skincare.

Book club usually means a few hours around someone’s kitchen table. A bottle of wine gets opened, snacks appear, everyone catches up, and somewhere along the way, someone remembers you’re supposed to be talking about the book.
