SHOU SUGI BAN HOUSE; WATER MILL, NY
Shou Sugi Ban House is a beautifully balanced Zen oasis in the middle of the Hamptons with 13 guest studios. The retreat has a Japanese-inspired focus on intuitive wellness and nature, and self-care options include everything from craniosacral therapy to body wraps, shamanic healing, yoga and laps in the salt pool. Meals developed by Michelin-starred chef Mads Refslund — who recently opened the rapturously reviewed Ilis restaurant in Greenpoint — are locally sourced and “plant-forward.” There are no TVs in the serene residences, just space for contemplation. Rooms from $595 (single occupancy); Shou Sugi Ban House
TROUTBECK; AMENIA, NY
The former estate of poet-naturalist and farmer Myron B. Benton, Troutbeck has played host to Mark Twain, Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson. The historic Tudor manor is set on 250 leafy acres in Dutchess County, with a pool, tennis courts and opportunities for fly fishing and nearby horseback riding. Last year, the hotel unveiled the Barns, an airy movement studio and spa offering fitness classes, yoga, meditation, Kinesoma, acupuncture and massage. Want to brush up on your Benton? Peruse his verse in a riverside hammock. Rooms from $240; Troutbeck
NEMACOLIN; FARMINGTON, PENN.
If Nemacolin’s opulent chateau looks familiar, it’s because Season 25 of “The Bachelor” was filmed entirely at the Versailles-esque resort, located 90 minutes outside Pittsburgh. There’s much to do at the palatial property, from paintball, zip-lining, golf, Jeep off-roading and more, but the Holistic Healing Center and the Woodlands Spa and Salon are its crowning glories. Treat yourself like a queen with the latest modalities — float therapy, whole-body cryo, infrared sauna and red-light therapy — or energy-centering practices like acupuncture and ayurvedic massage.
