Last month a couple girlfriends and I headed to Sundara Inn & Spa for an overnight getaway. It’s less than an hour from Madison, so it was pretty easy to make the travel arrangements. I realize how much good even just 24 hours of ‘me’ time can do for my soul, so I make it a priority to escape to Sundara a couple times a year. Through the years – I’ve had the opportunity to experience Sundara with my husband, with my girlfriends, with the people I work with and even have gone solo. I’ve gone in the winter and summer – and ALL are/were amazing experiences!
Sundara is a place unlike any other – we are so fortunate to have it in such close proximity to Madison. In 2018 they completed some major renovations… so just when I thought it couldn’t get any better – it actually did. The amenities and facility are top notch and they pull out all the stops to ensure that guests have a very memorable and peaceful experience during their time there.
If you have the opportunity to make it an overnight stay – I encourage you to do so. The room that my friend and I stayed in had two levels (along with two bathrooms), a fireplace, a screened-in balcony and an overflowing bath. It would comfortably sleep four – perfect for a girls weekend or retreat with your mom/sisters!
Here are some of my very favorite Sundara amenities:
- The Purifying Bath Ritual which includes the following:
- Rainfall Shower and Exfoliation
- Soothing Body Mist
- Aroma Steam
- Cooling Rainfall Shower
- Hot Pool
- Cool Plunge Pool
- Relaxation Lounge
- The Cambrian Oasis, featuring stunning casts of the sandstone bluffs that Wisconsin Dells is known for which offers space for reconnection and relaxation with a large hot soak with waterfall feature and indoor/outdoor pool bar serving craft cocktails. (Possibly my very favorite)
- Nava (a new restaurant) with delicious food and a lot of great options for breakfast, lunch & dinner – including yummy vegetarian options
- Woodland Reflection room, a relaxing space with a wall of windows with forest views. This space is ideal for curling up with a book or just taking in the natural setting watching for the deer who make their home in our serene setting. This space is available to be booked for private events.
- Savana the back patio directly off of Nava, which provides a tranquil space for outdoor dining or enjoying a cup of tea
- The Radiance Room – a new relaxing room adjacent to the brand new treatment rooms
- Lavana – a salt therapy treatment room which I was able to enjoy after my treatment!
- Brand new state-of-the-art fitness studio
- The new outdoor pool deck with a beautiful new saltwater pool as well as ample deck loungers and firepit seating.
- Infinity Edge Pool
In addition to the new amenities – Sundara has always added some brand new wellness activities, including:
- Guided meditation
- Expanded yoga offerings including aqua yoga
- Bootcamp and circuit training
- Guided hikes on the miles of new hiking trails being created through the 26 acres of the
property - Boat cruises on Lake Delton
- Cooking demonstrations with a focus on seasonally fresh recipes
Sundara is for adults-only. If you are looking for a getaway for you and your partner or for a group of girlfriends I would highly recommend Sundara to anyone.
Sundara is consistently voted a top resort and destination spot and attracts visitors from all across the US. How lucky are we that we have a spot like this SO close to Madison?! A little piece of heaven that requires you to relax, unplug and enjoy this beautiful life. I think we can all agree that everyone deserves some time away to renew and energize their soul!
