The Spa at Norwich Inn sits on 42 landscaped acres in Norwich, adjacent to an 18-hole municipal golf course.

  • Steps from Fort Saybrook Monument Park and close to Old Saybrook shops and cultural sites.
  • On-site marina and dock make it convenient for boating, kayaking and water-based excursions.
  • Preferred airport noted as Bradley Intl., with nearby small airports listed in the supplier notes.

Pick Saybrook Point for a central, coastal location with easy access to waterfront activities and harbor views.

  • Indoor pool is listed as adult-only on some facility listings and is part of the spa complex.
  • Spa facilities also include sauna, steam room, whirlpool/hot tub and relaxation room.

Saybrook Point has one indoor pool plus two outdoor pools and direct water access via its dock and marina.

  • Two outdoor pools add more open-air swimming options during warmer months.
  • Dock and marina support boating, kayaking and nearby boat tours.
  • Pool access hours and policies are listed by the property; check at booking for seasonal schedules.

  • Fitness center with 25 machines and classes (Yoga, Pilates, Cardiosculpt, Waterworks).
  • Spa hours 8:00 AM–7:00 PM; reservations required for treatments; non-guests can buy day access.
