The Science of Disconnection
A seven-suite sanctuary for advanced skin health and deep sensory restoration in Southwest DC.
Seven Suites. Two Wings. One Standard.
A 3,200-square-foot sanctuary designed for uninterrupted care.
Welcome to Lacerta Spa, a private sanctuary in Southwest DC designed for profound seclusion and expert-guided care.
Our space is architecturally divided into two specialized wings:
four Body Suites and three private Skincare Retreats—each engineered for focus, privacy, and precision.
Every visit begins in a Changing Suite, where guests may choose to enter an optional Thermal Circuit featuring an artisan sauna and advanced hybrid steam. This preparatory experience primes the body and skin before treatment begins.
Rather than offering a menu of services, Lacerta operates on a single principle: the Expert-Choice Ritual.
Your practitioner curates your session in real time—selecting techniques, tools, and modalities in response to your body, your skin, and how you arrive that day. No upgrades. No add-ons. One standard of care.
Each ritual concludes with integrated downtime in our Restoration Lounge, a quiet space for post-treatment recalibration and botanical hydration.
Move Beyond the Menu
We’ve removed the distraction of choices so you can fully arrive.
Within our seven private suites, Lacerta practices the Expert-Choice Protocol—a practitioner-led approach that replaces menus with mastery.
Each ritual is curated in real time, granting your practitioner unrestricted access to Lacerta’s full range of advanced modalities at no additional cost. Techniques are selected in response to your body, your skin, and how you present that day.
From precision skin infusion and targeted facial work to deeply focused body therapies, every element is applied with intention.
No two rituals are identical.
Every decision serves regulation, recovery, and long-term skin health.
Shared Synergy in Stillness
Our flagship Couple’s Sanctuary is a shared environment designed for synchronized care.
Whether marking an occasion or recalibrating together, each ritual is curated for two—guided by your practitioners to ensure both guests receive individualized, high-performance treatment within a shared flow.
As with all Lacerta rituals, the experience is fully inclusive. Your practitioners have unrestricted access to our complete suite of advanced tools and techniques, allowing each guest’s needs to be addressed without compromise.
Private. Coordinated. Intentional.
