<p>Woodlands Spa is a world away.<br />
A world of soothing sounds, invigorating aromas and relaxing<br />
touches. A place where nature meets luxury.<br />
And time stands still.<br />
Whether it’s through treatments that heal and detoxify,<br />
programs that educate or sessions designed to build closer<br />
relationships, all paths here lead to one common place: a state<br />
of peace, health and well-being.<br />
Come out and play or simply unwind. Feel free to create an<br />
experience that is uniquely yours.<br />
Every moment belongs to you.</p>
<p>Nemacolin Woodlands Resort, located in the Laurel Highlands of Southwestern Pennsylvania, is one of only 21 hotels and resorts in the world to host AAA Five-Diamond lodging and dining.</p>
<p>Situated on 3,000 acres, the Mobil Four-Star and AAA Four-Diamond resort features 335 luxurious guestrooms, suites, Townhouses, and Private Luxury Homes, including the AAA Five-Diamond Falling Rock boutique hotel.</p>
<p>In addition to the internationally acclaimed Woodlands Spa, the resort offers 36 holes of golf on two championship courses—the Pete Dye designed, PGA-tested Mystic Rock and the traditional Links Course.  For shooting of another sort, guests should visit the Nemacolin Field Club, an outdoors sporting facility on 140 acres complete with a 30-station Shooting Academy, spacious lodge, wing shooting, and Orvis-Endorsed Fly Fishing.</p>
<p>Pedal boat rides, kayaks, and more are available at the Marina @ Paige’s Beach, or for a more rugged trail experience, there’s the 18-mile Off-Road Driving Academy, featuring Hummer® H1 and H2 vehicles, as well as the Toyota FJ Cruiser.  Take a walk on the “wild side” at our Wildlife Academy, home of the Equestrian Center, animal nursery, petting zoo, animal habitats, and educational programs. Black bears, zebra, buffalo, tigers, hyenas, moose, and wolves are just some of over 100 animals that currently call Nemacolin home.</p>
