A luxurious massage is the perfect way to kick off the weekend, and there is no better place to do it than the St. Somewhere Spa at the Margaritaville Island Hotel.

A girls weekend getaway just doesn’t feel complete without spending some quality time at the pool. The rooftop pool at the Margaritaville Hotel feels like a resort by the beach in the middle of the Smoky Mountains. With a full bar serving fruity frozen drinks, comfy cabanas with curtains swaying in the breeze, and cool splashes from the pool, you may just forget you AREN’T at a tropical resort somewhere far away.
After wandering in and out of the shops at Old Mill Square, be sure to pop into The Old Forge Distillery for a drink. Old Forge is famous for their small batch Tennessee spirits and award winning moonshine. Tastings inside the distillery always draw a crowd, but it’s the small bar next to the gift shop that’s extra special. The menu is full of fun, inventive cocktails using the moonshine, and spirits from Old Forge.
