The Nest Spa & Wellness Center

The Nest Spa & Wellness Center is nestled within the depths of Alaska's diverse wilderness in the idyllic heart of Denali National Park and Preserve. Guests are invited to unwind in the stunning woodlands and find tranquility at this newly-opened center.

Located at the Denali Backcountry Lodge, our onsite therapists are available to help you relax, blending the art of massage and with a celebration of the human spirit. Their expertise in holistic programs allows you to channel your inner peace in a way that will leave you feeling revived and rejuvenated.

As part of our wider efforts to support state of Alaska mandates and health policies and procedures, The Nest Spa and Wellness is closed for 2020. We apologize for the inconvenience and will reopen in 2021.
