Choose your spa: five places for ultimate relaxation this winter

The early setting sun and polar temperatures can be an obstacle to our enjoyment of winter. A moment at the spa that combines relaxation and everything nice about the cold season, is the ideal activity and a way of braving the elements while taking care of yourself. Strøm Nordic Spa wellness centres offer five locations where you can relax and contemplate the snow-covered landscape.

During the colder months, spas are decked out in a blanket of white and feature a hushed ambience magnified by the snow. In the evenings, warm lighting adds to their beauty. The Strøm spas are the perfect place to turn those long, cold winter evenings into something wonderful.

Strøm Nordic Spa: five places to choose from

Open since October 2023, Strøm Nordic Spa Saint-Sauveur joins a long list of Scandinavian-inspired spas already established in the Laurentians. It is actually located on the very spot where the first Nordic spa in Quebec opened in the 1960s. The proximity of the spa buildings to the Simon River that runs through makes it easy to move between the hot and cold facilities as part of the thermal experience. The spa blends harmoniously into its surroundings, where the backdrop of mature trees adds to the feeling of relaxation.

The Strøm Nordic Spa on Nuns' Island, just minutes from downtown Montreal, is a haven of peace that will make you forget how close you are to the metropolis! This establishment, Strøm's very first, invites you to enjoy an environment between nature and the city and to admire the majestic view of the lake as you snuggle up in the fireplace area.

The Strøm Nordic Spa in Mont-Saint-Hilaire, built at the foot of the Gault nature reserve, has been designed to enhance moments of contemplation. The panoramic room impresses with its elegant decor and large windows that turn the natural landscape before your eyes into the star of the show. This popular spa in the Montérégie region boasts an outdoor pool, salt scrub area and innovative relaxation rooms.

The Strøm Nordic Spa in Sherbrooke, located on the banks of the Magog River, is characterized by its choice of noble, raw materials and clean lines. This spa close to the downtown area invites you to take a break around the fireplace and live in the moment for a Nordic experience in the tradition of hygge. The Nat relaxation room, a meditative and silent space, draws on the benefits of total darkness to provide you with a moment of absolute relaxation.

The Strøm Nordic Spa in Old Québec City offers a setting that blends the tranquility of the St. Lawrence River with the ambiance of a place steeped in history to create one of Quebec's grandest spas. The infinity pool and Laga flotation bath are just some of the facilities you'll love to escape to, lulled by the soothing power of water.

Strøm Nordic Spa locations also each have restaurants called Nord featuring boreal cuisine that changes with the seasons. What's more, each location has a shop on site where spa-goers can purchase the products used at the spas to remind them of their visit once they’re back home!
