There is nothing in Upstate New York to compare to the Ska:an Spa at the Turning Stone Resort and Casino in Verona. The luxurious spa makes guests feel at one with nature by combining modern amenities with Native American healing herbs creating peace and harmony within.
Each of the treatment rooms has its own dream catcher. One of their body and spirit balancing remedies is their Lavender Dreams. The Oneida people believed that dreams were important. This uplifting treatment relieves muscle tension by beginning with a gentle body scrub, followed by a massage with lavender essential oil. Finally, while resting in a lavender wrap, enter the dream state where the mind, body, and spirit will be in harmony.
The spa includes 12 treatment rooms, a full-service salon, co-ed mineral pool, soaking tubs, steam room, sauna, a luxurious VIP suite with plush amenities including a couple's treatment room, boutique and the Spa Café, offering nutritious, delicious spa cuisine at breakfast and lunch.
One the world's most unique spa experiences takes place in a Native American sweat lodge. The lodge is constructed of red willows, draped with buffalo hides, and located in a secluded woodland setting. The three-hour experience begins with traditional Native American storytelling around a fire during which the guide explains the significance of the sweat lodge accompanied by drum beats, chants, and mediations. Giving thanks to Mother Earth while in the sweat lodge is said to result in a personal gift of rebirth.
“Ska:na” is the Oneida word for “peace.” Ska:na at Turning Stone Resort and Casino is located just off the New York State Thruway Exit 33. For more information check www.turningstone.com.
