Let's Talk Luxe: 4 Exquisite Resorts in Wisconsin
Wisconsin is notable for many reasons. But did you know we have some of the most celebrated luxury resorts in the country? From a world-class spa with championship golf courses to a wooded retreat with included wellness classes, curate your perfect restorative stay here. Read on to learn more about Wisconsin’s unique luxury resorts.
1. The American Club — Kohler
This 241-room resort welcomes guests from all over the world seeking relaxation and pampering. Built in 1918 as a home-away-from-home for immigrants employed by the Kohler Co., The American Club was placed on the National Register of Historic Places 60 years later. In 1981, it underwent an elegant transformation into what is now a world-class resort.
Today, the hotel – featuring four championship golf courses and nine restaurants – and on-site Kohler Waters Spa both claim a Forbes Five-Star rating, one of fewer than a hundred hotels and only 35 spas around the globe to earn such a distinction. Once you experience the impressive amenities like the glass-enclosed rooftop whirlpool, sauna, steam room and much more, you’ll see why visitors come from near and far to relax here.
2. Osthoff Resort — Elkhart Lake
No list of premier resorts in Wisconsin would be complete without The Osthoff Resort—truly lake living at its finest. Spend time indoors in spacious suites with views overlooking the water, take cooking classes and savor delicious meals at two on-site eateries.
Better yet, get outside and enjoy 500 acres of scenic lakefront with no shortage of recreational options, such as tennis, volleyball, kayaking, sailing, biking, fishing, paddle-boarding and more.
Cap off the perfect day with a resort-hosted beach bonfire, s’mores and all (Memorial Day through Labor Day). And don’t forget to book a treatment at Aspira Spa, ranked in the country's top 100 by Spas of America.
3. Blue Harbor Resort — Sheboygan
Certainly, there are many reasons why you should consider a trip to Blue Harbor Resort, sprawled out invitingly on the western edge of Lake Michigan: beautiful guest suites and villas, a partnership with a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, a full-service spa, six eateries for every appetite and tons of lake and beach fun.
But if you have children, three words will seal the deal: indoor water park! Breaker Bay, a 54,000-square-foot water wonderland, is maintained at a comfortable 84 degrees—even in winter—and features the only double surf simulator in eastern Wisconsin.
Adults can enjoy luxury treatments at the spa, like a couple’s massage and revitalizing facials, and everyone will enjoy exploring the Sheboygan area which includes Kohler-Andrae State Park and multiple impressive museums.
4. Wild Rice Retreat - Bayfield
Discover an out-of-this-world peaceful oasis at the Wild Rice Retreat in Bayfield. Stay with loved ones in sleek, Scandinavian-inspired lodgings with large windows that provide breathtaking views. Create your own schedule from options that include inside and outside yoga classes, meditation time, art-making and more. You’ll also have 24/7 access to a sauna and rain shower experience for extra relaxation.
The retreat provides two locally sourced meals a day and 100 acres of woods on the shore of Lake Superior to explore and reconnect with nature and each other. You can also find guided retreats and opportunities for group gatherings at this magical woodland retreat.
