Girlfriend Getaways

Treat your bridesmaids to a fun and relaxing weekend away at one of these five Canadian destination spas. By Roseanne Dela Rosa

1. Destination: British Columbia
Spa at: The Ancient Cedars Spa located at Wickaninnish Inn (wickinn.com). Known as an Aveda Destination Spa, you and your girls should expect to be pampered from head to toe with their rejuvenating and calming products. The best part? You’re surrounded by total serenity as the spa overlooks the Pacific Ocean.
We recommend: Their signature Lomilomi body massage­—perfect for de-stressing.

2. Destination: Alberta
Spa at: Willow Stream Spa located at The Fairmont Banff Springs (fairmont.com/banffsprings). Reminiscent of Banff’s natural surroundings, you and your girlfriends will be treated to a luxurious and relaxing version of Banff’s hot springs, mountains, and alpine air.
We recommend: Their Thermal Mineral Bath—great for detoxifying the body and soothing the skin.

3. Destination: Ontario
Spa at: Ste. Anne’s Spa (steannes.com). Sneak away from the city for a few days and spend time catching up with your best friends at this leading health spa. Expect to be surrounded by an old-world atmosphere filled with acres and acres of greenery and cute, chic cottages.
We recommend: The Friend’s Spa Cottage Escape where you’ll be treated to delicious gourmet meals, spa therapies and a wellness class.

4. Destination: New Brunswick
Spa at: The Spa located at The Fairmont Algonquin (fairmont.com/Algonquin). Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed with a truly therapeutic and calming setting—perfect for some R&R time with the girls. 
We recommend: The Bridal Package, which includes lunch, manicures, pedicures, a salt glow treatment and a 30-minute massage.

5. Destination: Quebec
Spa at: Wakefield Mill Inn & Spa (wakefieldmill.com). Nestled amidst Gatineau Park, you’ll see nature at its finest as you’re surrounded by 30,000 acres of lakes, streams and forests!
We recommend: Their Le Moulin Signature Body Treatment—best for those of you looking to moisturize and smooth out your skin!
