The winter months can be trying due to the gloomy weather. From having to defrost your car to the lack of sunlight to the harsh wind, this chilly season is the opposite of relaxing. Luckily, Toronto has a plethora of luxury spas for you to get the pampering you deserve. Book an appointment at one of these five hot spots to unwind this winter:
Walk through the gorgeous lobby of the iconic Shangri-La Hotel then take the elevator up to the fifth floor to enter an oasis that combines Middle Eastern tradition with a modern French touch. The Miraj Hammam offers a unique steam and body exfoliation treatment. Your mind and body will be cleansed as you recline in the uber-relaxing, private high intensity and low mist steam chamber, aka Hammam. Follow this up with a Gommage exfoliation where eucalyptus infused black Moroccan soap invigorates your entire body. You’ll feel totally detoxed and ready to take on the world.
Want to get the royal treatment without hopping on a jet to London? Look no further than this west-end spa. The historic Old Mill Inn was established in 1914 and has all of the elegance and British charm of Victorian England. Their halotherapy, aka salt therapy, is a great way to boost your immune system in the midst of common cold season. Salt is absorbed through the skin and lungs, which has been known to improve respiratory problems, skin conditions, the nervous system and more. Best of all, it’s incredibly relaxing.
Elmwood Spa is referred to as Canada’s Favourite Urban Oasis and for good reason. This downtown destination has an abundance of relaxing amenities including a swimming pool, whirlpool, multiple steam rooms, two restaurants and a juice bar. Transport yourself to the Australian Outback with a LI’TYA Healing Ritual inspired by aboriginal culture. This full body massage uses all of the elements: earth, wind, fire and wood to nourish the senses and the soul.
Sorry gentlemen, this spa is for the ladies only! Body Blitz’ main focus is the therapeutic benefits of water. They have a wide variety of scrubs, muds and glows on their menu. The spa even has its line of products so you can bring the indulgence of this unforgettable spa experience home with you.
This King West hot spot is more than a spa, it’s a chic hangout spot perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle of the city. Sip on a delicious cocktail from the licensed bar or an americano from the café while getting an extraordinary manicure. They also offer traditional beauty services like body scrubs, massages, facials and blowouts. For a spa experience with a twist, you simply must check out Her Majesty’s Pleasure!
