MERAKI ESCAPE'S SPA AND WELLNESS POLICIES
Pricing & Fees: Prices do not include tax or the 16% Wellness Experience Contribution. This contribution supports the care of our wellness spaces, property stewardship, and the continued development of our private spa and wellness offerings. Gratuity is not required and is already thoughtfully included in our pricing, allowing you to relax fully without additional expectations. Menu offerings and pricing are subject to change without notice.
Booking & Scheduling: All spa and wellness sessions are offered privately - in your cabin or at Forestsong Waterfall. Availability is strictly limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis; we encourage you to book early to secure your preferred times. During summer, sessions are typically held at the waterfall for an enhanced natural experience. In case of inclement weather, your session will be moved in-cabin for a cozy, uninterrupted experience.
Late Arrivals: To honor the schedule of our practitioners and other guests, late arrivals may result in a shortened session. The full service fee applies regardless of session length.
Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy: Spa and wellness services are paid in full seven (7) days prior to arrival along with your cabin balance. Cancellations made 48 hours or more before your scheduled service will receive a full refund minus the non-refundable 3% credit card processing fee and a $25 administrative fee. Because your practitioner reserves this time exclusively for you, any cancellations made within 48 hours are non-refundable. We are happy to attempt rescheduling within your stay if availability allows, but refunds cannot be issued inside the 48-hour window. This policy ensures fair compensation for our practitioners and maintains the integrity of the private, personalized experience offered at Meraki Escape.
