Combine invigorating walks over acres of Canadian Shield with six holistic wellness programs, add organic cuisine, yoga and Pilates classes, and you’ve got all the ingredients for a blissed-out break. For anyone looking to lose a few inches, the spa’s two-hour mineral detox wrap is a must-try: a therapist wraps your body with elastic bandages soaked in a mineral solution, then leads you through deep knee bends and light aerobics. For experienced riders, a small stable of Rocky Mountain horses is available for trail rides to a quarry known for its pink marble (roughly one hour, return), while canoes and paddleboats await on the beach. Organic meals are served in an elegant dining room with picture windows, and on a patio with views of the lake, while juicing demos are conducted weekly. In the main inn, guest rooms are decorated with soft floral wallpapers; rooms in the spa addition are luxuriously understated.
Driving Time:
two hours and 40 minutes.
When:
year-round.
How Much:
rooms from $710 per person (two-night minimum), includes accommodation, three meals and three spa treatments.
