Mishawaka Spa Day Done Right – End It at CoreLife Eatery
Mishawaka may fly under the radar, but it’s quietly home to some of northern Indiana’s best spots to unplug and recharge. From hot-stone bliss to infrared detox, here are the top spas locals swear by – plus exactly what to eat at CoreLife Eatery (5728 Grape Rd.) afterward so the calm lasts all day.
Tule’ Spa – 124 W. Mishawaka Ave. Coastal vibes meet Midwest warmth. Their hot-stone massage with house-blended herbal oils melts tension in 60 minutes flat. Reviewers call it “pure magic.” Post-spa fuel: CoreLife’s Garlic Tahini bowl. Roasted garlic + sesame mirror the spa’s aromatherapy, while chickpeas and greens keep inflammation low.
Serenity Salon & Day Spa – 605 W. Edison Rd. Tranquility Herbal Relaxation massage + organic facials = instant glow. Perfect for a lunch-break escape or Saturday reset. CoreLife pairing: Vinaigrette over the Greek bowl. Cooling cucumber and fresh basil hydrate skin from the inside out.
The Woodhouse Day Spa (Granger) – 1012 E. University Dr. Just 8 minutes away, this is luxury worth the short drive. Try the Illuminating Facial or Calming Retreat package. CoreLife stop: Miso Sesame Ginger tuna poke. Omega-3s + fermented miso extend that detoxed, radiant feeling.
Yon Spa – 928 S. Merrifield Ave. Deep-tissue masters, open until 9 p.m. Walk-ins welcome when you desperately need knots destroyed. Recovery bite: Spicy Thai “Peanut” dressing on grilled chicken – ginger and lime fight soreness like an edible ice pack.
Herbal Stones Microspa – near University Park Mall Infrared amethyst beds + hot/cold stone therapy in under an hour. Detox without the sweat equity.
Pro tip: CoreLife is never more than 12 minutes from any of these spas. Every dressing is made from scratch that morning – no preservatives, just cold-pressed oils, fresh herbs, and citrus that taste like an extension of your treatment.
Make it a ritual: book the massage, float out the door, then roll into CoreLife still wrapped in that spa robe energy. Order at the counter or through the app so your bowl is ready the second you arrive.
Because real self-care isn’t just an hour on the table; it’s what you feed yourself after. In Mishawaka, that means ending at CoreLife, where the food feels as good as the massage did.
