Our Spa
OUr MISSION
To provide a refreshing atmosphere of renewal and self-care through fitness, pampering and retail.
OUR VISION
To embrace the unique environment of Bald Head Island and transfer its sanctuary feel to our clients through our services and buying experiences.
OUr Promise
Island Retreat Spa and Salon was founded by BHI Limited and build into the “Crew’s Quarters” building at 6 Maritime Way around 2009. After its sale to an island homeowner in 2013, the Spa was operated for 3 years before being sold to the Guthrie family in early 2016. Much of the foundation for Island Retreat was already in place, but the Guthries took a fresh approach to its overall aesthetic and vision.
