Beyond a fishing lodge, Talon Lodge and Spa is a sanctuary where luxury meets nature. Imagine a place where the serene waters of the Pacific Ocean gently lap against the shore, where majestic mountains stand guard, and where the air is filled with the invigorating scent of Sitka spruce. Now, imagine receiving a soothing massage, soaking in the wood fired cedar hot tub, or relaxing with a champagne lunch while overlooking the Sitka Sound and Mt Edgecumbe. What you’re imagining is Talon Lodge and Spa, the most unique resort and spa in the Pacific Northwest and a gem that promises an unforgettable experience of relaxation and rejuvenation.
About the Lodge
When owners Phil and Gwen Younger embarked on building their private island resort in 2003, they envisioned something truly unique. It’s rare to find an Alaskan fishing lodge that also offers a rich array of wellness experiences typical of a luxury spa. Located on a secluded 8-acre island, Talon’s spa features world-class amenities, including an open-air pavilion, a wood-fired Japanese soaking tub, and full-service spa treatments. Here, the relaxation begins before you even step foot in the spa.
The carefully crafted pavilion, featuring a metal roof and yellow cedar frame, offers stunning views of the majestic Mt. Edgecumbe and the vast Sitka Sound. As rain gently falls—a frequent occurrence in the Tongass National Rainforest—guests can savor the soothing rhythm of raindrops and watch the waves roll in while indulging in their massage. Services at Talon provide a truly unique experience, invigorating all five senses.
