Waterstruck Wellness in Newcastle

Written By april shaw-beaudoin

Newly opened Waterstruck Wellness in Newcastle is quickly becoming a cherished retreat. Owners Ashley Baldwin and Kyle Markmann have crafted a Nordic spa that not only embraces the therapeutic traditions of sauna and hydrotherapy but also honors the local history of the Midcoast. The name reflects the site's past as a brick making hub on the Damariscotta River, famous for its waterstruck bricks.

The spa offers the full nordic circuit with sauna, hydrotherapy pool and cold plunge. With facilities designed to accommodate private or communal relaxation sessions, visitors can enjoy solitude or share the experience with others. The space expands in the summer with outdoor rest areas like hammocks in the woods and yoga on the deck.

Ashley and Kyle emphasize the spa's year-round appeal, highlighting the unique benefits of contrast therapy no matter the season. Waterstruck Wellness aims to be a sanctuary for physical recovery, relaxation and mental rejuvenation, making every visit a restorative respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
