With so many options for high-octane adventures here in the Tahoe Basin, it’s a good idea to plan some time for rest and recovery during your stay. We love playing hard here on the south shore of Lake Tahoe, but we also know how to slow down and soak in the beauty. Here are some of the best ways to catch your breath and slow down, as recommended by locals.
Spend your time in Tahoe indulging in wellness at one of these unique locations.
Let’s try Japanese forest bathing
One of the most unique wellness experiences in the South Shore region is available at Tahoe Forest Baths. Tahoe Forest Bath specializes in Japanese cedar baths and is one of only two locations in the United States offering this treatment. Cedar enzyme baths, popularized during the 1972 Olympics held in Sapporo, Japan, have been proven in clinical research at Kanazawa Medical University to be effective in relieving stress and increasing serotonin.
Drink tea while reading a book in the corner
For those who like to read in a corner, Kappa Tahoe offers unparalleled appeal. This coffee shop is filled with books and souvenirs, including all kinds of unique children’s books and activities.
If you like a small-town feel, Free Bird Cafe (located near the Y) is a community hub with a menu focused on healthy smoothies and bowls. We highly recommend The Chronic Bowl, topped with homemade hemp granola, and the Cocoa Bliss Smoothie. Freebird Cafe is also locally famous for its homemade chai. For a rustic, hygge aesthetic, visit Clyde’s Coffee. Another lovely spot to spend an afternoon reading a book in a cozy corner.
