The 2024 Season runs May 2 through Nov 9 Fall Openings
The Hygeia Bath House & Spa
About the Spa
The Hygeia Bath House and Spa is now open regular season days, Monday through Saturday based on demand.
Since the early 1800s, people have traveled here to Capon Springs, WV to “take the waters” for healing relief from pain and stress. The word Capon is derived from a Native American word that means “medicine” or “healing waters.”
Current Price List
Today, Capon’s Hygeia Bath House & Spa remains committed to continuing this tradition of helping each guest relax, recoup and enjoy life. From the moment you enter the spa and you slowly breathe in the wonderful aromas, you can feel yourself begin to unwind. Whether you are new to massage and hydrotherapy or have been enjoying the benefits of these treatments for years, we welcome you to come let your stress slip away. The friendly and accommodating staff will help you decide just the right treatment for you. You might choose to begin with a pure, hot spring water soaking bath (view a short video of our soaking baths here), followed by a full body massage to complete the experience. Or maybe your feet need that extra attention and you will decide to schedule a reflexology session. No matter which treatments you choose, be sure to spend some time relaxing in the living room by the fire or on one of our porches.

We Have New Ways to Relax!
We are excited to share that we have expanded our menu of treatment options and are giving you more ways to relax and recharge!
We are also thrilled to offer a new facial massage! This rejuvenating facial treatment begins with warm towels soaked in Capon Water and a thorough brush cleansing to soften the skin and prepare it for the massage. Using luxurious oils and a Honeylift Massage Lotion, your massage therapist will use shaping, tapping, acupressure and contouring strokes to stimulate, nourish, tone and smooth the muscles and skin of your face. The treatment also includes shoulder, neck, hand, foot or scalp massage. This 60 minute treatment is $120 and will leave you feeling wonderfully relaxed with a healthy glow!
Another new service available on select dates is WATSU(R) water therapy! WATSU(R) is a form of water therapy which involves stretches, massages, and acupressure in warm water. The weightlessness of the body frees the spine and joints allowing you to move and stretch much more fluidly than on land. The resistance of water soothes physical tension and encourages relaxation, which supports overall health.
Although your WATSU(R) session will be customized to your specific needs, here’s what you can typically expect during a WATSU(R) treatment:
- Your session will take place in the SwimSpa (a private exercise pool heated to 90 degrees).
- Your therapist might have you wear floating devices on your arms or legs.
- You’ll enter the water and float on your back. Your therapist is in the water with you. The back of your head and knees will typically rest in your therapist’s forearms.
- Your therapist will slowly rotate, moving your body in large circles.
- Your therapist will alternate between extending their arms and drawing them in, moving you back and forth in the water as they do so.
- Your therapist will move your body in gentle, repetitive patterns which may include twisting, rocking or cradling, and stretching.
- They may rest your head on their shoulder and move you in large circles.
- Throughout the session, your therapist will massage pressure points on your body.
- Sessions are 60 minutes long on select weekends and are $100 per treatment.

Thai massage, facial and WATSU(R) appointments are limited. We recommend scheduling far in advance. Learn about all the services we offer here.
