Chateau Elan began life as a vineyard in the
rich soil of Georgia just 30 minutes north of Atlanta. Soon, however, people began visiting for more than the award-winning wines. The lush gardens, the
16th-century French-style chateau, excellent food, as well as the wine, became attractions. Today, Chateau Elan is an even more popular luxury resort boasting
63 holes of professional golf and 3,100 beautiful acres of softly rolling land.
Nestled amidst all the charm and splendor is the intimate Spa at Chateau Elan.
This full-service European-style health spa offers guests an escape from the stress of daily life and continues the tradition of restorative stress management,
preventive health care, and responsible body maintenance.
The Spa features an impressive menu of relaxation, body, and skin-care treatments performed by a staff
of courteous and highly trained technicians and therapists. Trainers perform fitness assessments - evaluating body composition, sub maximal stress, and muscular
endurance - before prescribing a fitness program designed especially for you.
At The Spa there are activities scheduled throughout the day, so your stay can be
as rigid or as free as you choose. The fitness facilities and Spa activities, including step and water aerobics, are open to all Spa guests.
The Spa is also
complete with a restaurant, Fleur-de-Lis, specializing in gourmet cooking specifically for the health conscious guest.

Greensboro, GA 30642
Telephone: (706) 467-0600
Facsimile: (706) 467-0601
Incorporating
state-of-the-art spa facilities with Creek Indian
traditions, The Ritz-Carlton Spa creates a seamless
transition between the out- doors and the indoors, the past
and the present. The 26,000-square-foot Native
American-themed spa facility is located adjacent to the main
Lodge and is the only spa in the world to feature décor and
treatments influenced by the Creek Indians, the first
inhabitants of the Lake Oconee area. Embrace
the culture of the Creek Indians. Immerse yourself in the
belief that power and health are derived from nature with
the outdoor and indoors becoming one. The Creek
Indians' belief in the divination of the four seasons, the
four corners of the compass and the herbs, fruits and
flowers they bring, has given an abundant menu of spa
experiences. Nestled in a secluded cove on Lake
Oconee, The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Reynolds Plantation offers an
unparalleled retreat that promises relaxation and
restoration of the body, mind and spirit. |
