Savor a Seaport Slowdown Oct 17, 2025

Now is the perfect time to rest and replenish before the holidays arrive, with their packed schedules and must-attend events. To help you take every opportunity to unwind near Ora Seaport, we’ve gathered some of our favorite South Boston spas, Seaport bookstores, and more, all steps away from our residences. Plan the perfect chill day out in Boston, with this list of ideas as your starting point.

Schedule a spa day for relaxation.
Breve spa in the Omni Hotel offers destressing massages, modern therapies, and a full collection of salon services. Book a sound immersion treatment or a restorative manicure, at this Boston Seaport spa beloved for its warm environment and state-of-the-art equipment.

For those craving a curated experience revolving around skincare, Heyday spa has an irresistible allure. Here, licensed estheticians offer boutique services tailored to your unique needs and concerns. Refresh your skin with LED light therapy, professional peels, and more.

If a spa day for stress sounds like no fun alone, schedule a treatment for you and your friends or partner at Remedy Place, a spot that combines social wellness with relaxation. From saunas and ice baths to vitamin IV therapy, Remedy Place has everything you need to feel spectacular together before tackling the holidays.

Grab a Seaport coffee and wander East End Books.
It’s always a good time to pair some South Boston coffee with a bookstore. Pick up a seasonal beverage from Caffé Nero or Tatte Bakery, before choosing your next read at East End Books. You may even catch a book signing at this local favorite, open 11 AM – 7 PM every day of the week.

Take a new trail to see the fall trees of Boston.
Schedule a fall Freedom Trail tour for a historic perspective of our city, or casually stroll fall trees in the Seaport. Through late November, breathtaking colors line the leaves of our neighborhood. Follow the Harborwalk or stop by the Boston Children’s Museum for some of the most exciting foliage.

Celebrate National Chocolate Day with the best chocolate in Boston.
October 28 is National Chocolate Day, and the Seaport knows how to celebrate. High on any list of Boston chocolate shops stands Bon Bon Bon Chocolate, a unique spot where you can build your own box to take home. Try their “Bon of the Month” for a special seasonal treat. Cardullo’s creates mouth-watering gift baskets, and L.A. Burdick’s handmade chocolates will melt the heart of even the most stressed early holiday shopper.

Whether you schedule a Boston spa day, swing by a Seaport coffee spot, or all of the above, we hope you find chances to take a deep breath and recenter before the holidays. Here’s to finishing the year on a strong note!
