Unwind in the 1000 Islands  

Nothing says relaxation like taking time to decompress and get a clear outlook. The 1000 Islands region is quickly becoming a new spa destination. It combines serenity with pampering, as three fully functional spas are now up and running, amidst the unparalleled beauty of the natural landscape.

The newest spa at The Gananoque Inn & Spa is a haven waiting to be discovered. The Inn, located on the banks of the St. Lawrence River, has been a landmark to travellers in the scenic 1000 Islands for more than a century. The comforting space has converted several lovely wood-paneled rooms on its second floor of the main building to house the new spa.

Opening fresh this winter, it offers a variety of services to help visitors unwind, using a unique Fleur’s Artiste de Bonheur products from France. Combinations of flowers and essential oils, along with minerals and special techniques leave visitors relaxed and ready to face the world at the same time. The new spa offers everything from body treatments and massage, to facial treatments and reflexology. Hand and foot care is also available, as is waxing.
