The Power of Nature-Based Wellness

Looking to unwind? Wellness travel experiences in nature are just what you need to soothe the body and soul. Feel the healing power of nature as you travel with intention to nurture your wellbeing with peaceful forests, fragrant flowers, starry nights and soothing waters.
Before the season shifts, let the warmth of a summer getaway provide a sanctuary for weary minds and bodies. Travel connects you to new places, people and experiences, and wellness travel will connect you to a rejuvenated you.
From reducing stress levels to boosting moods, creativity and Vitamin D, health studies generously tout the benefits of disconnecting and spending more time in nature with some wellness-centric travel. Feel your heart rate slow, stress hormones drop, your mind clear, and a deep sense of calm takes over.
Gently reset and restore your wellbeing with a meaningful wellness stay at Ste. Anne’s Spa, just a short drive away in Grafton, ON. Nature-based renewal and relaxation is our focus – experience awe-inspiring views, restorative activities and healthy foods with ingredients grown in our gardens.
Return home feeling more alive and well than when you left.
Nourish your spirit with our beautiful sunlit spaces, tranquil forest places and an array of mindful outdoor therapies – from forest bathing, fire meditation and star watching to cold-water plunging, hot stone yoga and labyrinth walking.
There are no wrong turns. Journey along a soothing path of quiet reflection and mindful meditation. Simply relax and connect with yourself in a harmonious blend of nature’s elements that are rarely found in urban settings and busy holidays.
As you wander our gardens and woodlands, be bathed in peace and gratitude. Feel the strong embrace of the forest’s spiritual splendour and the grounding power of direct contact with the earth. Relax in our serene waters and unlock your blue mind – a term for the semi-meditative state induced by being in or near water that calms the nervous system.
Feel alive listening to the birds sing. Watch the butterflies. Witness a breathtaking sunset. Hike along pretty paths, rest by our babbling brook or meditate in our glorious gardens.
Ste. Anne’s abundant self-care wonders provide the very best nature break, a powerful escape from the fast-paced, tech-dominated world. Increasingly, we are more removed from the natural world. While medical and technological advances have improved our health and lifespan, we’re more inactive and indoors than ever, and farther away from a balanced, happy and healthy life.
We risk being physically unfit and mentally stagnant. Spending time in the sunshine and fresh air, smelling the flowers and feeling the earth beneath our feet, not only boosts our physical health but it can ward off depression and anxiety, and increase our vitality and wellbeing.
Feel alive again. Live in the moment with a wellness getaway. Forgo the hectic, stressful travel experience and spend time reaping nature’s holistic blessings with intentional wellness travel to Ste. Anne’s Spa. Be one with nature and the best of self-care at our spa, and create lasting change, meaningful experiences and the most beautiful of memories.
