spas
A spa that we love to use year round- summer or winter, it will not disappoint. With a Nordic feel, the Scandinave spa offers many different temperature pools, tubs, showers, sauna, and sun rooms. One of the best massages I’ve ever had has been at this spa! The “baths” experience doesn’t break the bank either (about 70$) for a great afternoon of relaxation. If
you’re a talker and want to go to catch up with friends just remember to grab lunch after because the spa has a strict “no talking” policy.

Our other favourite place to go get pampered is Nita Lake Lodge in Creekside (a little further south than the village- but you can go to Creekbread after!). We love the lounge chairs and comfy blankets
after a massage or facial!
