To really get away from it all, consider a wellness-centred stay at the remote fly-in Nimmo Bay Resort in British Columbia’s Great Bear Rainforest. Spa treatments such as a full-body scrub using Pacific Ocean sea salts and an Ayurvedic head massage can be done en plein air—perhaps among the trees or even on a floating dock. Services offered in the surrounding forest include an on-the-ground shiatsu treatment and the Gin and Yin yoga class, which ends with a cocktail tasting. After you’ve had your treatment, you can hit the outdoor rain shower, spend time in a cedar hot tub, visit the resort’s scenic floating sauna (only accessible by boat, kayak or stand-up paddleboard) or go swimming under a waterfall.

The Spa at Langdon Hall, a Drake-approved Relais & Châteaux property in Cambridge, Ont., is just as ideal for a romantic weekend getaway as it is for a decadent spa day—Five Diamond dining experience included. A meditative stroll through the hotel’s vibrant gardens and 30 forested hectares is a must for overnight guests and spa visitors alike. Although the Spa at Langdon Hall is known for its restorative, calming Valmont facials, you might want to book its new L’Elixir Quintessential treatment, featuring products from the Swiss skincare brand’s L’Elixir des Glaciers line. It’s the perfect pick-me-up for dehydrated skin and an unforgettable two-hour indulgence.

Every visit to Hammam Spa by Céla in Toronto, whether you’re there for the transdermal JetPeel facial or an invigorating deep-tissue massage, should start in the tile-lined, eucalyptus-infused Hammam Steam Room and conclude with treats and a hydrating beverage in the cozy tea lounge. The spa’s languorous 60-minute Hammam Turkish Bath experience is not to be missed either. It includes hot- and cool-water treatments and a full-body exfoliation, all performed on a heated marble table.

Opened in 2019, the luxurious spa at Four Seasons Montreal is the perfect place to escape to for an afternoon of pampering. Book a Cinq à Sept Reset massage with friends or try the spa’s relaxing Signature Body Treatment, featuring Hungarian Moor mud and an exfoliating scalp mask. The elegant space, designed by Parisian studio Gilles & Boissier and local designer Philip Hazan, also features a serene indoor pool, steam room and sauna area and a Kneipp hydrotherapy facility—including a stone footpath for reflexology—that you can enjoy pre and post-treatment. We can’t imagine a more indulgent city break.

Fashionable facial bar Fig in Vancouver offers injections and high-tech treatments designed for maximum efficacy. There’s a focus on clean-skincare products, and the majority of its services take 30 minutes or less to complete—even the Collagen + Texture facial, which combines nano needling with lymphatic massage, a mask and LED-light therapy. Fig also offers a self-service LED facial if you feel more comfortable going solo, and there are plans to introduce a laser for hyperpigmentation to the treatment menu this month. There are currently two locations in Vancouver (one on Main Street and one in Kitsilano), and two more are slated to open this fall in Toronto and West Vancouver.
