Tucked away in the whispering forests of the Blue Mountains, Ontario, lies Scandinave Spa Blue Mountain, a place where time seems to slow down, and you retreat into a space of profound calm. While visiting, we experienced their Thermal Journey and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. Here’s a little insight into our experience.

From the moment you arrive, the air itself feels different—lighter even, and filled with the promise of rest and renewal. As the road winds through towering trees, and the landscape unfolds with quiet grace, the spa’s rustic yet elegant design mirrors its surroundings, blending seamlessly into the lush forest backdrop. At the heart of Scandinave Spa is its thermal therapy circuit, a tradition rooted in centuries-old practices of healing and relaxation.
We’ve journeyed through our fair share of hydrotherapy circuits and as we explored Scandinave, we felt as if the weight of the world washed away, it was one of our favourite experiences.Â
The cycle begins with hot baths that are nothing short of magical. As you sink into the steaming water, journey into one of their incredibly nourishing saunas or eucalyptus-infused steam room, you’re invited to unwind into the quiet calm of the day.

From the wonderfully warm Baths to a chilly cold plunge, it’s here where you rejuvenate the body, mind and soul. The sharp, bracing chill shocks the senses awake, leaving you feeling refreshed and ready to take on the world. And then, you rest. Whether you decide to sway in a hammock, recline in a Muskoka chair gazing into a fire, or lounge in one of their cozy indoor sanctuaries, this is your moment of rest.
As we journeyed through the experience one thing we fully appreciated was how silence is a cornerstone of the Scandinave Spa experience. Here, there are no conversations to distract, no phones to tether you to the outside world. The quiet is profound, a soothing balm for the mind. It creates space—space to breathe, to think, to simply be. In the absence of noise, you notice other sounds: the bubbling of water, the rustle of leaves, the sounds of your breath floating through your being.
Scandinave Spa Blue Mountain isn’t just a place—it’s a feeling, a dream of peace that stays with you long after the last Bath. To book your experience click here.
