Our Story

August Moon Spa is an essential part of the La Tourelle experience—a peaceful wellness space nestled on the hotel’s scenic 70-acre property.

Since 2005, our spa has offered high-quality treatments in a serene, nurturing environment that reflects the natural beauty of the Finger Lakes.

Guests can explore the wooded trails leading from Ithaca by Firelight to Upper Buttermilk Falls, reconnecting with nature just steps from their room.

With thoughtful therapies, heartfelt hospitality, and a tranquil setting, August Moon Spa offers a restorative retreat for the mind, body and spirit.

Wellness for Every Season

Spring is a time of renewal—and at August Moon Spa, we welcome the season with offerings that awaken the senses and refresh the body.

This spring, we’re embracing the vitality of the season with our signature Simply Spring scent. A bright and uplifting blend of grapefruit and lemon, with grounding notes of patchouli and myrrh, Simply Spring captures the essence of the world coming back to life. It’s available in spritzer, lotion, massage oil, or essential oil—bring the fresh, earthy fragrance of spring into your home today.

Client Testimonials

  • Wonderful treatment. Marissa asked questions in the beginning regarding my expectations/preferences and limitations. She communicated effectively throughout regarding pressure, comfort etc.

  • This was another excellent experience with Garth! I especially appreciate the time he takes to incorporate skills and strategies that have helped in prior appointments. For example, he remembers to start with my feet and to use heat in such an effective way to really create a safe and healing place. Thank you so much!
