Westglow Resort & Spa, an all-inclusive resort, offers spa packages customized to create your perfect spa experience, whether you choose a spa vacation, a weekend getaway or a day retreat. First opened in 1991, the spa is situated on a historic 20-acre estate that was once the home of famed artist and writer, Elliot Daingerfield. He named the estate “Westglow” because of the vistas, which he described as “never glaring, always glowing throughout the shadows, clouds or mist”. The spectacular views provided inspiration for many of the artist’s works. Westglow Resort & Spa offers guests a number of choice accommodations; each styled and designed to create a restful atmosphere. The Manor House is a Greek Revival, decorated with vintage period furnishings, and features six elegantly restored suites. Personal spaces are much more than mere bedrooms, but instead quiet havens where you can forget the demands of life and focus on you, on what you want, on what you need.
