Shoji Spa & Retreat
What you need to know
Shoji Spa & Retreat is a Japanese-inspired, adults-only spa on Avondale Heights Road in East Asheville, about 10 minutes from downtown. The draw is a private outdoor saltwater hot tub looking out over the National Forest, $90 a person for an hour, with the 180-degree cedar sauna, open-air cold showers, a yukata and sandals included. Add massage and bodywork, the Ashi sweet orange foot soak, or tub-side tea with the house blend, or book a package like The Buddha's Best. There's lodging on site too. It's open every day, with later hours Friday and Saturday.
Local's Tip
Book two to four weeks ahead, especially for weekends, and plan on a 50% deposit and a 7-day cancellation window. It's 18 and up, with no pets and no outside food or drinks.
What the locals say
It's an easy pick for a birthday or anniversary, or a quiet weeknight soak with nothing but trees around. Bathing suits are optional in the private tubs, and you get a robe for the walk over.
