A place to unplug and enjoy the summer

A proud family business going back three generations, Estérel Resort makes it a mission to help you unwind.

In a spacious open-plan suite with a fireplace, balcony, kitchenette and unobstructed view of the lake, your days will take on a whole new rhythm. Sip your coffee in the calm sun, then alternate between relaxing moments and outdoor activities according to your whims.

At Estérel Resort, everything invites you to slow down and fully enjoy the present moment.

A life-size playground…with a Nordic spa

Summer is equal parts action and relaxation at Estérel Resort.

Want to get moving? Go paddleboarding, then play a game of spikeball, before treating yourself to a quick dip in the lake.

Next up is relaxation at Lido Thermal! With the hot and cold thermal experience, baths, music and a friendly atmosphere, it offers an experience that reinvents the traditional Nordic spa. The Lido Bar, on the other hand, is the perfect way to end your day–with a refreshing cocktail in hand.

With equipment to get out on the water, heated pools, outdoor activities and a lively Nordic spa, you’ll have everything you need to enjoy the summer season!

Take a journey with your taste buds

The Estérel Resort experience also includes some fine dining, with a breakfast buffet much-appreciated by guests as well as a take-out service to add something extra to your day.

There are also three distinct gourmet experiences on offer: Le Voilier restaurant, the ROK and the Discovery Menu in the wine cellar. Three different atmospheres that let you savour the moment, always with a stunning view of lac Dupuis.

On top of this, wine and whisky tastings are offered in the wine cellar (one of Quebec’s largest)–a wonderful way to extend the evening…and maybe even your stay.
