A New Spot for Relaxation Arrives in Canal Park

Duluth’s downtown just got a fresh spot for people looking to unwind. The Lighthouse Spa & Boutique opened its doors in Canal Park, offering a full day spa experience where locals can relax and recharge. Two of the co-owners previously worked at another spa in the area but wanted to create something different—one that puts employees first and makes clients feel truly cared for. Community support helped them get there, with local groups and small business networks cheering them on from the start. The spa isn’t just another place to get a massage. It’s built with wellness in mind, offering everything from facials and chemical peels to infrared sauna sessions and hydrotherapy soaking tubs. One of its standout features is the HeadSpa treatment, which focuses on scalp health and deep relaxation. During its first week, guests can try a 30-minute intro session at a discounted rate.Beyond just services, the spa is rolling out specials for Mother’s Day. Visitors can get a quick 5-minute hand or scalp rub for free, grab gift cards dressed up in gift-ready packaging, or even nominate a mom to win a full 60-minute service. The timing lines up well with Mother’s Day, giving people a reason to stop by whether they’re treating themselves or someone else. Not far away, another big retail name is setting up shop in Duluth, too. The Miller Hill Mall will soon host Carter’s, a popular kids’ clothing brand that’s never had a location closer than the Twin Cities. For families in the Northland, that’s a big step forward.
