We went on our first women's trip last summer and because of COVID stayed very much to ourselves. Trip was amazing and we're headed out again this year and have dreams of treating ourselves to massages or a sauna and a sleep in a bed before driving home. Any recommendations of hotels/resorts/VRBO in the Ely area that would be a good pamper before returning home?

Not particularly pampering, but Canoe Country Outfitters have a sauna at their Moose Lake base.

That was also my first thought. But depending on where in the BWCA you go, this could be another option. Just 20 minutes from Sawbill and several other entry points. Bluefin Bay

The Pebble in Ely is an option. You can go to their location or I think they would come to you .

Several years ago after I took my wife on her first canoe trip to the BW, we got into Ely with hotel reservations at the Grand Ely Lodge and an appointment at the Pebble Spa. We both enjoyed a little pampering after the trip.
