The new year is always a bustling time, and sometimes we forget to take a moment for ourselves. More self-care is a great resolution to prioritize in 2026, and these Strip District spots will help you relax, recenter, and feel like the best version of yourself.
Aura Sauna Studio boasts perhaps the most unique service on this list: infrared sauna therapy. Infrared light targets your body’s core temperature directly, rather than just the air around you, leading to a complete detox and increased blood flow that improves blood pressure and circulation. Come heat up at their 2004 Smallman St location.
