lgonquin Park is Canada’s oldest provincial park and spans almost 3,000 square miles. Just to compare, it is larger than Prince
Edward Island. Located on the edge of the park is Couples Resort; a five star resort famous for those wanting to get away from it all.
When you arrive and step out into the fresh air you’ll see that Mother Nature has done her finest work here and it makes the perfect backdrop for your next getaway.
The accommodations range from chalets and suites to chateaus; are all magnificent with king beds, wood-burning fireplaces, lux furnishings and amenities.
One of the best treats you can experience here is your own hot tub on your private outdoor deck that over looks Galeairy Lake. Imagine sitting out in your bubbling warm tub this winter listening to the ice ‘crack’ on the lake.
You can be as busy as you want with outdoor activities such as snowshoeing, dog sledding, hiking, x-country skiing, skating and more.
Don’t pass by The Algonquin Spa; it is located in the main building and offers guests an organic and hands-on-therapy experience. They use all natural products and you won’t find any machines here – it is a back to nature approach, which is just what has made them so popular! The spa specializes in Shiatsu treatments that are Japanese-based; a non-invasive physical therapy designed to stimulate the body's ability to heal itself. In addition there are hot stone and head massages, scrubs, wraps and facials. You’ll love the pedicures, manicures and aesthetics as you enjoy a glass of wine while you unwind!
The spa accommodates both men and women, and if one part of the couple prefers an outdoor activity, there are lots of spa indulgences for the other half to enjoy solo.
Owner John Sorensen says, “We are away from it all, yet surprisingly we offer our customers everything that makes for a luxury vacation with the romantic twist of it being like Valentine's every day!”
The Algonquin Spa is a member of Leading Spas of Canada and this year has been awarded with North American’s Top 100 Spas.
After a day of enjoying the great outdoors and spa-ing, you’ll be treated to a delectable dining experience, which includes five-course dining each night.
This destination is perfect for that needed getaway, not bad for being on the edge of nowhere!
