Leisure & Luxury
While adrenaline and adventure certainly have their place in travel, don’t miss the opportunity to kick back and relax. When it comes to pampering yourself on vacation, Idaho’s luxurious resorts, spas and hot spring experiences offer visitors picturesque settings for some much-needed “me-time.”
Sun Valley Resort
America’s first destination ski resort is a popular getaway spot for travelers looking for a scenic backdrop to unwind or recharge. From rejuvenating at the spa to horseback riding, shopping, golfing or feasting on culinary delights, this all-season resort is a paradise built for indulgence.
Shore Lodge
For travelers seeking sanctuary in a serene mountain setting, Shore Lodge in lovely McCall delivers. Spend a day on the links at one of the area’s four public courses and then soak away sore muscles in the immersion pools at The Cove at Shore Lodge or treat yourself to a facial or massage. After a full day of R & R, replenish your fuel with dinner and dessert at one of the two onsite restaurants.
Coeur d’Alene Resort
Travelers looking for respite in northern Idaho should plan a stay at this golf and spa resort on stunning Lake Coeur d’Alene. Guests enjoy chic rooms with balcony views of the lake, along with fine dining and posh spa packages. Don’t forget the golf and the formidable test of the course’s famous 14th hole, The Floating Green.
Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort
Unwind in beautiful northern Idaho at the Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort—home to a destination spa, award-winning golf course and plenty of casino action. Operated by the Coeur d’Alene Tribe, the resort also offers educational tours on the tribe’s proud culture and history.

The Harkness Hotel
For those seeking modern luxury blended with historic elegance in an unexpected location, look no further than this boutique hotel in the small town of McCammon. Built in 1906 as the McCammon State Bank, the building was renovated into a hotel in 2014. The chic, on-site salon and spa adds the perfect touch of extravagance for a fully pampered experience.
Hot Springs
Idaho is home to approximately 130 soakable hot springs—meaning they are natural and accessible (sometimes requiring a hike) or have been developed into pools of varying temperatures and include modern amenities like changing rooms, massage services and dining options. Soothe your soul and travel-weary muscles with a luxuriant dip at The Springs or discover Idaho’s other geothermal pools.
