About Skaná Spa at Turning Stone
With the opening of the new luxurious Skaná Spa, the Oneida Indian Nation-owned Turning Stone Resort & Casino has established itself as a premier resort destination in the Northeast. The resort is situated between Utica and Syracuse in upstate New York's historic Mohawk Valley.
Opened in 1993, the property's name is derived from the Nation's history (the Oneidas were called "the people of the standing stone"). Eleven years later, an exclusive 94-suite luxury hotel called the Lodge at Turning Stone opened to serve an upscale clientele with a mixture of traditional Adirondack design and contemporary amenities. Additionally, the 33,000-square-foot Skana Spa, added to the resort in 2006, invites discerning spa-goers to indulge in up-to-the-minute spa amenities as well as treatments inspired by the rich therapeutic traditions of the Oneidas.
Golfers can take advantage of three championship 18-hole courses that incorporate the area's rolling, verdant terrain to stunning effect. Also on property are 17 restaurants offering a diverse sampling of global cuisine, an 800-seat cabaret-style showroom, and a 5,000-seat Event Center that hosts performances by major names in pop music and stand-up comedy. Guests of Turning Stone enjoy trying their luck at the property's high-energy casino, where poker, bingo, keno, and multi-game machines provide excitement around the clock.

Opened in 2006, Skaná Spa's treatment menu and spa design are founded on Native American influences. ("Skaná" is the Oneida word for peace.) A detoxifying sweat lodge and pictorial depictions of traditional longhouses pay tribute to the Oneidas' traditions and community. The 33,000-square-foot facility has 14 treatment rooms including a private VIP suite with its own herb garden. The on-site Skaná Spa Cafe serves nutritious spa cuisine for breakfast and lunch.
The spa's gentle treatments combine all-natural products (including Naturopathica and Molton Brown) and herbs used by Native American for centuries in order to promote harmony between guests and their surroundings. Signature spa treatments evoke the Oneida culture and traditional healing philosophies. The Sage Stone Massage is a holistic experience designed to induce total tranquility through the integration of sound therapy, touch therapy (with basalt stone application), and aromatic sage oil. The nourishing American Indian Enzyme Peel incorporates pumpkin fruit enzymes and beta carotene for deep cleansing and sun protection. Also, a full-service salon employs a staff of beauty professionals who administer hair, nail, waxing, and makeup services.
The Skaná Fitness Center offers strength-building and cardiovascular equipment in addition to a fully equipped group exercise studio where classes are held daily. The spa's petal-shaped mineral pool features waterfalls, whirlpools, and a distinctive sculpture.

Activities
A wide array of fitness and relaxation opportunities are available on the property. Outdoor classes include yoga, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing in the Adirondack Mountains. Guests can also be introduced to Native American crafts through Indian beadwork and corn-husk doll-making workshops.
The resort also provides a luxury golf experience. The Atunyote Golf Club is a championship parkland course whose spectacular countryside vistas have provided a serene backdrop for several PGA Tour events, including the 2006 B.C. Open. The 18-hole, par-72 Kaluhyat Golf Club is set amid sprawling, verdant scenery broken by intermittent and dramatic elevation shifts. Shenendoah Golf Club dares duffers to try to master the challenges of its wooded parkland fairways, which were constructed according to PGA standards. Golfers shouldn't feel too intimidated, however; the Turning Stone Golf Academy helps both groups and individuals develop their game with classes and multi-day programs led by seasoned professionals.
Some of the biggest names in entertainment perform at the Event Center and the more intimate Showroom. Regular performers include Mariah Carey, Kenny G, Drew Carey, Tim McGraw, Bob Dylan, Loretta Lynn, George Carlin, and many others.
The action-packed gaming floor features more than 80 tables devoted to keno, blackjack, roulette, and high-stakes bingo in addition to a 32-table poker room and thousands of cutting-edge cashless multi-game machines.
Several popular recreational options are available nearby. The Baseball Hall of Fame in nearby Cooperstown celebrates America's pastime with historical exhibits and memorabilia collections that no true fan will want to pass by. History buffs can visit the Oriskany Battlefield, a national historic landmark, or tour neighboring Fort Stanwix, a colonial outpost used by patriots during the Revolutionary War. Guests can also take sailing or boating trips on beautiful Oneida Lake and rent boats from Oneida-owned marinas.
