Experience Deep Relaxation In Nature

Shoji Outdoor Hot TubAn outdoor Japanese style hot tub retreat, nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Shoji Retreat is just 8-10 minutes east of downtown Asheville, NC, a favorite vacation area for the sports enthusiasts, nature lovers, and cultural explorers.

Since we have opened our doors we have been voted The Best of WNC. The Asheville Chamber has awarded us the Over-The-Top Customer Service Award and the Sky High Growth Small Business Award. We are Asheville's one and only outdoor hot tub day spa. The perfect romantic getaway in Asheville, N.C.

8 Minutes from Asheville, NC

We welcome groups up to 40 people with hourly private hot tub rentals, a cold plunge, and wet/dry sauna. We offer our guests many extras including Japanese Yukatas (your robe is worn in all public areas, bathing suit is optional in private tub areas), sandals, towels, herbal soaps, shampoos, lockers, hair dryers and slate showers.
Your private tub is enclosed with Shoji sliding doors and bamboo walls on three sides tucked into a mountainside. The fourth side is open to the West with fabulous sunsets, cityscape, night sky views as well as views of the national forest, which Shoji borders. Shoji's tubs can accommodate up to 8 people and they are also perfect for one.
