In the Cherokee tradition, Nuwati means "medicine" — not just in body, but in spirit, connection, and renewal. Inspired by this wisdom, our Nuwati Spa is being crafted as a sacred space for healing, transformation, and life's greatest journeys set at the base of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park in Bryson City, North Carolina.

Tucked within a quiet, rock-walled hollow where Lands Creek flows steady and sure, Nuwati Spa will be a place where nature’s elements — stone, water, sky, and forest — nurture every gathering.

Framed by the ancient stones of the Smoky Mountains, the Spa will offer a full menu of indoor and outdoor massages, body treatments, facials, soaking tubs, and a sauna, complemented by peaceful lounging areas along the creek — inviting you to linger, breathe, and rediscover balance.

Also join one of our classes or workshops in yoga, tai chi, painting, hat making,  or others, embracing creativity and self-discovery. 

Relax and restore with the premium and private spa experience of Bryson City. Many of our spa services — including massages, body treatments, and facials — can also be enjoyed in the privacy of your cabin at 3 Little Bears Retreat. Reservations are required to ensure your personalized wellness journey.

Heal. Gather. Grow. Set your new path in motion at Nuwati Hall & Spa.
