🛁 Spa

The Spa is a relaxation and recovery building located in the Railroad area of Stardew Valley. It becomes accessible after the earthquake on the 3rd day of Summer in Year 1 clears the path to the Railroad. Inside, players can restore both health and energy for free by soaking in the hot spring pool. The Spa is one of the most useful utility buildings in the early and mid-game.

💡 Strategy

• Plan visits after mining or farming in the Mountain area to quickly restore energy.

• Use it as a safe retreat while waiting for train events in the Railroad.
