Best Spa to Get Away From It All

If you say you’re ready to get away from it all? You better be serious. The nearest Saskatchewan town to Salacia Spa at Elk Ridge Resort is Prince Alberta - a forty-five minute car drive away. Leaving the flatlands behind and checking into the luxe resort with views over the boreal forest will ensure that you are completely removed from the urban experience. The most popular spa package is aptly named, Getaway. This three and a half hour package includes a full-body Relaxation Massage with Collection #1 Facial plus Classic Pedicure and Manicure. Complimentary snack provided.

Best Canadian Connection Spa

It doesn’t get more Canadian than a CN Rail station. This particular whistle stop in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan is also a designated heritage site, but this is a heritage building with a definite twist; it has been transformed into the Sahara Spa. Prairie hospitality and the quiet elegance of the completely restored station, ensures a unique experience. Try the Canadian Rosehip Stone Massage. Any rosehips harvested from bushes that have survived those prairie winters have to have some seriously concentrated goodness. Breathe in some rosy Canadian history while you breathe out stress.

Best Turkish Hamam Dressed in White

If you’ve ever been to a Turkish Hamam, you know all about the steam, the sweat, the incredible exfoliation and massage…which is why showing up at the Ten Spa located in the historic Fort Garry Hotel in Winnipeg, Manitoba, feels a wee bit bizarre…You are, after all, a long way from Turkey. But the Fort Garry has been serving discerning travelers for over 100 years and the Ten Spa knows how to deliver luxury. You’ll know you’ve arrived at the Ten Spa when you enter the misty white rooms on the tenth floor. You’ll know you’re leaving the Ten Spa when you can barely walk because your legs are too relaxed to keep you upright.
