If you think coffee is strictly for drinking, you haven’t been to Kohler Waters
Spa. Coffee granules and sugar crystals are just two ingredients on the menu of
the 24,000-square-foot spa, which offers everything from a “Golfer’s Foot
Renewal” to the “Executive Head Trip” massage.But water therapies rule, and
Kohler has a claw foot up on the competition, since its tubs and showers have
been manufactured across the street from the spa for decades. Whether you choose
to soak in a fizzy rainbow with full-spectrum chromotherapy and tiny bubbles
that cling to your skin like weightless beads, or immerse in a Roman-bath style
copper tub sprinkled with essential oils of rose, geranium, jasmine and ylang
ylang, the Kohler experience is all about the wet stuff. To bathe is to be:
weightless, warm, comforted and nurtured.
Not that your choices are limited
to shoulder-to-toe submersion. Try the five-jet Kohler Vichy shower (one Vichy
treatment features simultaneous warm and ice-cold spurts of water), by turns
gentle rain mist and cascading waterfalls. The “Highland Fling” treatment offers
a dousing with buckets of warm water, a Midwest version of frolicking in the
Caribbean surf.
For a drier option, consider the “H2O Inspiration” service,
which pairs a foot bath in front of a fireplace with a scalp-and-shoulder
massage in a woodland haze of oil scented with geraniums, rosewood, ginger, and
violets, followed by a stimulating sugar scrub.
Because you have to kill
time between spa appointments, the American Club offers all the amenities of a
first-class golf resort: luxurious lodging, restaurants, shops and, of course,
Pete Dye’s outstanding layouts at Whistling Straits and Blackwolf Run.
