A luxurious spa getaway should be at the top of every woman’s list. Here’s a promise: The hit of serenity you’ll feel at the Nordik Nature-Spa from the second you arrive won’t leave you until well after you’ve left the spectacular surroundings and returned to regular life.
Nestled in the mountainside of the Gatineau hills, just a few minutes drive from Ottawa, Canada, it’s a haven inside the tranquility of natural surroundings. Here, you can’t help but let go of stress and feel at peace.
Imagine this. In a thermal cycle of hot, cold, rest and relaxation, your body transforms as you feel it eliminate toxins, stimulate adrenaline and get your happy endorphins of pleasure firing. Next, you’ll complement your cycle with massage therapy and body treatments, including the blissful Källa treatment. It’s a dip in a salt-water pool that will have you feeling weightless.

After your salt water float, it’s time to treat yourselves to a light meal and a seasonal cocktail by the fire in the RESTÖ. Feeling rested and rejuvenated, you won’t want to leave the spa and you won’t have to if you’re smart enough to book one of the cottages or lodges to get cozy for your stay. Or, if the Nordik Nature-Spa is just one stop in your romantic getaway, you can indulge in one of their accommodations packages at a local auberge or hotel. Don’t forget to take a little bit of the spa home with you by shopping at their goodie-laden boutique.
