tourismwinnipeg.com 11 Thermëa by Nordik Spa-Nature Winter or summer, spring or fall – escape to Thermëa by Nordik Spa-Nature for some much-needed rest and relaxation all year round. Nestled amongst the trees in Winnipeg's Fort Garry neighbourhood, visiting Thermëa Spa feels like stepping into an oasis of tranquility. Essential oils linger in the air, ambient music plays softly in the background, plush robes envelop you and clean lines, natural light and high ceilings are easy on the eyes. The spa's thermal experience is unlike any other. The 2000-year-old relaxation ritual, based on a Nordic tradition, involves heat therapy treatment where you alternate between hot and cold temperatures followed by a rest period. How you spend each period is up to you, but you'll do it all in an entirely immersive, natural setting. Kick off your thermotherapy cycle with a soak in the spacious hot pool or close your eyes and breathe deeply in the orange and eucalyptus Vaporo steam baths to clear your mind. Take part in an Aufguss ritual in the Finlandia dry sauna, where ice-infused essential oils slowly vaporize, releasing an invigorating steam all around you. Spend time sitting in the Barik cedar sauna for even more intense heat. Submerge your body in the cold pool or plunge bravely under an icy waterfall before cozying up next to a fire in the cottage-style rest area, sipping warm tea before nodding off on a heated slab or simply swaying away in a heated hammock, safe from the chilly winter weather. This rest period will restore your heart rate and recover your respiratory and circulatory balance. During the summer months, wander over to the onsite restaurant and sip a chilled glass of chardonnay or craft cocktail on the shaded patio. You'll truly feel like you're on vacation when you feel the sand beneath your feet as you recline back and read a book in the beach area, a resort-like space with plenty of day beds and loungers to soak up the sun. All year round, enjoy fresh, quality ingredients in a colourful array of nourishing dishes from celebrated chefs. 775 Crescent Dr. | 204.284.6868 | info@thermea.ca | thermea.ca MUST SEE ATTRACTION
