While North Americans haven’t been able to travel as much as they would usually, it hasn’t stopped them from looking, according to Spas of America’s Top 100 Spas of 2020.

The spa and wellness travel website cited country, mountain and mineral spas as the most popular spa searches, with the most popular destination for the second year in a row going to fitness-focused Red Mountain Resort in St. George, Utah.

The annual award provides insight into consumers’ favourite spas of the year, based on unique page views and consumer choices on Spas of America.

The top 2020 list includes 74 spas from the United States, 19 from Canada, three from Mexico, and one each from Barbados, The Bahamas, Jamaica and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

“Although COVID-19 forced many North American spas to close, reduce staff and operate at a reduced capacity, we’re still seeing strong interest from consumers searching for relaxation, mental health, wellness and escape,” says Spas of America president Craig Oliver.

“I have no doubt North American spas will rise to meet this challenge in the year ahead.”

The most popular spa experience was countryside with 22 destinations, followed by the mountain(17), natural mineral hot springs (13), city (11), beach spas (10), casino (nine), ocean (seven), health resorts (six), desert (four) and wine (one).
