Many brides are ditching the traditional “night-out” bachelorette parties and booking mini-escapes with the girls.

Lucky for us, Tahoe makes for a great weekend getaway, both because of its stunning beauty and overall convenience. One of my favorite retreats in Tahoe is the Trilogy Spa in Squaw Valley. This sprawling, 4,000-square-foot retreat makes the perfect venue for a day of relaxation and pampering.

Trilogy offers special packages tailored to wedding parties with customized treatments, goodie bags, tropical snacks and plenty of Champagne. Some of the spa’s most luxurious services include a Lomi Pohaku Stone Massage, the DRENCH Cascading Vichy Rainbar, an Awapuhi White Ginger Body Treatment and SOAK Moana Plunge Tub with Maile Floral Melt.

If you and your girls choose to rent a house for the weekend, Trilogy can also arrange for an in-home spa party, so you never need to leave the comforts of your accommodations to enjoy a day of bliss.

To speak with a spa manager, call 530-584-6125. Trilogy Spa is located in The Village at Squaw Valley, 1850 Village South Road, Olympic Valley. trilogyspa.com.
