Since opening in the late 1970s, it has been a pioneer in North America’s wellness retreat movement, offering not only massages but immersive stays focused on rest, nutritious cuisine, and activities like yoga, meditation, and forest walks—all approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes away from Montreal.
Canada's Best Day Spa 2025: Strøm Nordic Spa
Strøm Nordic Spa’s Old Quebec outpost, designed for quick but restorative escapes, invites guests to cycle through hot and cold baths, saunas, infinity pools, and serene lounges with sweeping river views.
Its clean, minimalist design and Nordic-inspired rituals have made it a favourite among locals and travellers alike. While the award gives it national recognition, it’s long been a beloved haven for slowing down within the city.
The Old Quebec location is just over 2 hours and 30 minutes by car. Not up for a day trip? Strøm’s Nun’s Island location in Montreal offers an urban retreat.
