VERONA, N.Y. — Spas of America recently named Skana Spa at Turning Stone Resort Casino the number one spa in North America for 2021.

The Spas of America annual Top 100 Spas list provides a ranking of travelers’ favorite spas. For the 2021 awards, it ranked spas across 38 states, Canada, and Mexico with Skana placing as travelers’ top choice in all of North America, according to a news release from Oneida Nation Enterprises. 

“These unprecedented times have elevated the importance of self-care, and Skana has provided a safe and tranquil place for our guests when they needed it most,” Ray Halbritter, Oneida Indian Nation representative and Oneida Nation Enterprises CEO, contended in the release. “While navigating evolving health and safety protocols, our talented spa team continued to provide an exceptional guest experience, which makes this recognition all that more meaningful.”

Skana was the first Native American inspired spa in the Northeast and pays homage to the Oneida and American Indian culture through décor, ambiance, treatments, and hospitality. Many of the services incorporate ingredients essential in the Oneida culture including strawberries, sage, and white pine. Services include massages, facials, full-body services, salon amenities, manicures, and pedicures.

“Skana has consistently been one of the leading spa and wellness destinations with our audience, providing guests with an incomparable guest experience, amazing facilities, and leading and evolving spa therapies and treatments. [The] Skana story is unique and authentic, and it resonates with people,” Spas of America President Craig Oliver said.
