Following a milestone 10th anniversary in 2024, Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort and Spa is starting 2025 with national recognition, as The Spa at DreamMore has been named one of Spas of America’s Top 100 Spas of 2025—placing it among the most highly regarded spa destinations across North America.

The honor puts DreamMore in elite company, alongside standout spa experiences such as Sunstone The Spa at Agua Caliente in California, Relâche Spa at Gaylord Opryland Resort in Nashville, The Spa at The Omni Homestead Resort in Virginia, Remède Spa at The St. Regis Mexico City, and Skʌ:nʌ́ (Skana): The Spa at Turning Stone in New York.

What makes the 2025 ranking special

Spas of America expanded its evaluation criteria this year, blending verified consumer traffic data with Google Review ratings for the first time. Every spa on the list met a minimum 4.0 rating, with the Top 100 posting a strong median rating of 4.5. More than 40 spas earned standout ratings of 4.6 or higher—underscoring just how competitive the list has become.

A spa designed with Dolly’s touch

The Spa at DreamMore offers a full menu of services for both resort and non-resort guests, including massages, facials, hair and nail services, and customized wellness treatments. The décor reflects Dolly Parton’s signature warmth and style, creating a space that feels equally suited for a girls’ getaway, a couple’s retreat, or a quiet solo escape. Guests can also enjoy premium products from the award-winning FarmHouse Fresh line, rounding out the spa’s focus on comfort and rejuvenation.

A decade of awards for DreamMore Resort & Spa

Since opening in 2015, the Dollywood DreamMore Resort & Spa has built a résumé that rivals many long-established luxury resorts. Its accolades include multiple USA Today 10Best awards for Best Amusement Park Hotel—including several No. 1 finishes—as well as repeated recognition from Travel + Leisure as one of the South’s top resort hotels and family-friendly destinations.

A Smoky Mountains home base

Set on a lush 20-acre property in the Smoky Mountains, DreamMore sits next door to Dollywood, Dollywood’s Splash Country, and Dollywood’s HeartSong Lodge & Resort, making it a convenient and comfortable hub for park-goers. Inspired by Parton’s childhood in Locust Ridge, Tennessee, the resort blends storytelling, music, and hospitality into a true home-away-from-home experience.

Guests enjoy resort-level perks such as a full-service restaurant, indoor and outdoor pool complexes, complimentary trolley transportation to Dollywood parks, and added theme-park benefits like TimeSaver passes—details that help explain why DreamMore continues to rack up national honors a decade in.
