For years, I'd driven past Safety Harbor Resort and Spa. Nestled on the shores of Tampa Bay, near Clearwater, its stately appearance had drawn me in as a duck takes to water.

But with its nearly century-old reputation as the Central Florida retreat "where healing waters flow," I'd always assumed a stay at the resort and a dip in its spa's natural mineral springs would put me in too deep, financially speaking.

Still, I recently decided to test the waters with an overnight stay. As it turns out, the resort offers a handful of ongoing Safety Harbor spa specials that'll make a splash with visitors even on a modest budget. Two of the most popular packages are:

1. The all-inclusive getaway package

Starting at $85, the package includes:

  • Two meals daily from a select dinner menu.
  • Unlimited beverages.
  • Your choice of a 25-minute facial, massage, herbal wrap or aroma therapy mineral bath.

For details on all the resort's overnight offerings – including a special offer for Phillies spring training fans, visit the packages and promotions page.

2. Spa day passes

For $35, buy a day pass that gives you access to the following:

  • Three pools.
  • Daily fitness classes, including spinning, yoga, tai chi, water aerobics and more.
  • Cardio and weight training rooms.
  • Steam room, sauna and whirlpools.
  • Wellness and nutrition lectures.
  • Locker rooms.

Day passes are a great option for locals looking for Safety Harbor spa specials. To round out your mini-getaway, call to schedule a resort tour or stop by for Sunday brunch.
