You’ll be able to enjoy a nice sauna session as well as a chilly ice bath at a brand new spa retreat set to open in Toronto this year! The spa will be called Othership and will take over a 3,000 square foot spot downtown.
The soon-to-be Toronto spa describes itself as “a vessel for transformation that invites us to collectively explore our extra-sensory faculties through the practicality and potency of the elements.”
There’s a 45 person sauna that is custom designed as a container for unique guided programming as well as private ice baths so that you can experience the hot and cold cycle properly.
The aesthetic of the spot will have a ton of natural colours and textures to make you feel totally relaxed, as well as soothing lighting, scents, and music.
This entire experience is supposed to teach you “how to regulate yourself – and your emotions – in a world that can’t be regulated can and should be a memorable voyage.”
There will also be a handful of classes offered, plus, a breathwork app that you can download so you can get the full experience. If you’re interested, an introductory pass, which is equal to three visits, is $99.
Othership will be located at 425 Adelaide Street in Toronto and was originally supposed to open on January 10, but with new restrictions in place, we are sure that the launch will have to be pushed to a later date.

For those who need a spa day (most of us), there’s some good news coming your way! The highly-anticipated Vettä Nordic Spa has announced that it’s on track to open its doors in September 2021. As we dream of post-pandemic life, this luxurious destination will certainly be kept top of mind.
This one-of-a-kind Finnish-inspired spa includes one of the largest commercial saunas in North America.
It’s located just an hour north of Toronto, nestled in the highlands of Horseshoe Valley.
Eric Harkonen, the President and founder of Vettä Nordic Spa, spoke about the opening, “Horseshoe Valley is already a vacation destination for many, and the natural beauty found here fits the Finnish-inspired escape so perfectly. Vettä will be the vacation without the travel. An experience that allows guests to sample a taste of Finland for the day and an opportunity to feel relaxed, recharged, and reconnected.”
Now, here’s the best part. Guests will immerse themselves in a hydrotherapy experience that offers professional massages by RMT’s, steam rooms, saunas, warm pools, cold plunge pools, salt rubs, a hot stone room, multiple relaxation areas, and outdoor wood-burning fire pits.
This is all designed to restore health and wellbeing through the many known emotional and physical benefits of a Nordic Spa.
Not only is it about relaxation, but you can also enjoy exquisite food and treats as well! Be sure to grab a tasty meal at the Savu Bistro, or enjoy a delicious coffee at the Grab-n-Go Coffee Bar.
Vettä’s primary attraction is its emphasis on spending quality time with others and having meaningful conversations during their spa escape. While there is a designated zone for those who wish to relax quietly on their own, the majority of Vettä functions in accordance with the Finnish tradition of chatting and engaging with others. So invite your family and friends and head over to the spa this fall.
Vettä is seriously a one-of-a-kind experience that’s on track to be Ontario’s top destination.

It’s safe to say that after months of quarantine, we could all very much use a spa day. If you agree, then keep on reading. Iconic French skincare brand Caudalie has just opened the doors to its first flagship boutique spa in Canada and it’s located right here in Toronto.
Situated in upscale Yorkville on Hazelton Avenue, the 1,100 square foot space, called Caudalie Hazelton House, includes a retail area as well as a spa.
Caudalie’s co-founder Mathilde Thomas told FASHION Magazine, “Opening a flagship location in Toronto is an important milestone for Caudalie, one that we’ve been looking forward to for a while. The history, culture and energy of Toronto excited us to connect with this beautiful city, share our brand story and immerse Toronto into the DNA of Caudalie.”
Even though Toronto and the GTA is still in Phase 2 of reopening, the spa is open for body treatments. Facials and other spa services will have to hold off until Phase 3.
But don’t you worry because Caudalie has safety on the brain.
The spa has made masks for all clients and staff mandatory during all treatments and has social distancing protocols in place as well.
The brand also has sustainability on its radar as well because it’s partnered with TerraCycle to recycle empty products and reduce waste.
