Why Your Friendships Deserve a Spa Day
Everyone could use a little “we” time. We are innately social creatures and getting together with friends is so good for our minds, bodies and souls.
We’re happier, healthier and live longer when we have meaningful social connections and regular interactions. Going out often with your best buddies boosts your sense of wellbeing and belonging, and strengthens bonds through fun and shared experiences.
But in our busy lives, finding time to nurture and maintain friendships isn’t always easy. And just where to go? A lot of the options for group hangouts involve the drink-and-food cycle only. There’s nothing wrong with meeting up for wings and beer, but how about breaking away from the same-old with some healthy hangout time?
Plan for a wellness-focused gathering with your favourite people! What could be better than a day or overnight stay together at Ste. Ann’s Spa. Just 90 minutes from Toronto, escape the ordinary and find extraordinary times at our serene lavender-scented retreat. So easy to get to and the perfect holistic oasis to rejuvenate your wellbeing and friendships too.
Catch up, chill out and reconnect over shared self-care. Away from daily stresses and hectic routines, unwind in good company with no distractions. Friendships are so therapeutic and they thrive when we feel happy and stress-free in each other’s company. Make it in the most stress-free and wonderful of places, where every detail is taken care of.
Just come as you all are and get blissed out together: Relax in fluffy bathrobes and let the friend therapy begin with a healing blend of relaxation, restorative spa treatments, wellness activities and social connection.
Float around together in our therapeutic hydrotherapy pools – be brave and use the Yukon Plunge Pool. The laughs and dares will be long remembered. Steam away the stresses and sweat it out together in our sauna and eucalyptus steam room.
Visit our quaint boutique, wander our trails, chat around the fire circle in our English Walled Garden, share afternoon tea and treats, and dine on your favourite food made from fresh, local produce, some picked from our beautiful food gardens. Stay the night and share a charming cottage – no need to battle for the best room in the house. They’re all wonderful.
Get a laugh out of wearing matching robes for your entire stay – even to our dining room. Or stay in and feast together with our special dining experience – a private chef will come and prepare dinner for your group. Just sit back, relax and enjoy good vibes, good friends and good wine! Just a heads up that it’s bring your own alcohol at Ste. Anne’s and the rest is provided.
Our fully-immersive wellness experience offers the perfect change of scenery and health-boosting activities, with something for everyone. Do lots or do little. Simply unplug and unwind and connect to what’s important in life. Nourish the bonds that bring joy, support and meaning to our lives.
A spa visit with friends has transformative powers and sharing self-care activities can further enhance good health through positive influence on one another’s lifestyle habits. Once you head home, you can support one another in continuing your wellness journeys.
Spa days are happy days, so let the therapy begin. Mini trips bring major memories and carving out our time annually gives us something to look forward to. Hearts will be happier.
Cheers to spending all day in a cozy bathrobe – together!
