🛁 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.

Pro Tip: Use the Spa in early and mid-game to save money on food — it’s the best free way to restore stamina.

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

In late game, the Spa becomes less essential once you have access to energy-restoring meals and rings, but it’s still a reliable option.
Use it as a safe retreat while waiting for train events in the Railroad.
