At The Longfellow, we believe that well-being is not a destination—it’s a daily practice. This spring, Astraea Spa continues to evolve as Portland’s sanctuary for self-care with a thoughtful expansion of its wellness offerings. From glowing facials and rejuvenating yoga to deeply restorative body wraps, every addition is designed to help you feel more like yourself again.
Whether you’re staying overnight or simply carving out space for yourself during the week, Astraea invites you to step out of the everyday and into a space of restoration and presence. Here’s what’s new:
Personalized Facials
Our newly launched Custom Facials are a welcome breath of fresh air for your skin and soul. These 60- or 90-minute treatments are tailored to your individual needs, beginning with a full skin analysis and continuing with a curated selection of organic exfoliants, nutrient-rich serums, and purifying masks.
But this isn’t just skincare—it’s self-care. Each facial includes a deeply relaxing massage that melts away tension, boosts circulation, and leaves you feeling radiant from the inside out.
Opt for the 90-minute version and enjoy extra touches like a scalp massage and hand/arm care for a full-body sense of renewal.

NeoLifting® Facial Massage: Lift Naturally, Glow Radiantly
Astraea is proud to be the only spa in Maine offering the NeoLifting® Facial Massage—a sculpting technique known as a natural alternative to Botox. By targeting facial muscles through precise massage (including buccal techniques), this treatment helps redefine contours, ease jaw tension, and leave your skin glowing. Availability for this sought-after service will expand this season—don’t miss your chance to try it.
Wrap Yourself in Wellness: Seaweed & Sleep Rituals
Two new body treatments joined the Astraea lineup earlier this year, each offering a unique way to reset and restore.
- Seaweed Leaf Wrap (90 min)
Harness the healing power of hand-harvested seaweed to detoxify, tone, and deeply hydrate. A dry brush exfoliation and warm seaweed application are followed by a soothing face and scalp massage—ideal for anyone in need of a full-body refresh. - Lavender Herbal Sleep Cocoon (90 min)
A bedtime ritual come to life. After dry brushing, your body is massaged with warm lavender and rosemary butter before being wrapped in muslin and blankets. A calming face and scalp massage eases the mind, setting you up for a night of deep, restorative sleep.
Whether you’re seeking a midweek yoga reset, a moment of skin-deep self-love, or a full-body transformation, Astraea offers a quiet, curated space to reconnect with yourself.

Come for the calm. Leave with more of yourself.
