We all need a little R&R from time to time. Life in Toronto can be fast-paced, so you should take a minute to perform some self-care. What better way to shake off the stresses of the week than a much-needed spa day? You can sign us up!
That said, we put together a small list of what we think are the best spas in the city to bring the serenity that your mind and body deserve.
Minraj Hammam Spa – 188 University Avenue
You can find this gorgeous mosaic-decorated slice of paradise on University and Adelaide, where they combine French and Turkish healing methods for exceptional results. Partnered with French skincare brand Caudalie Paris, they offer ‘vinography’ treatments, applying something many of us use to unwind – wine! Grape-infused facials, honey and wine body scrubs as well as an amazing steam room (non-wine related unfortunately) are just a taste of what spa-goers get to enjoy in this marvellous bathhouse at the Shangri-la Hotel.
Body Blitz- 471 Adelaide Street W / 497 King Street E
Move aside fellas, this female-only spa is PERFECT for when you want to get away from everything (or a certain someone for the afternoon). With one on either side of the city, you’ll get to experience a relaxing set of hydrotherapies that range from a eucalyptus steam room, therapeutic infrared saunas and many other water-based health methods. Mud baths, massages and body scrubs compliment this excellent spot for those seeking ultimate tranquility. Oh, and bathing in your birthday suit is permitted!
Elmwood Spa- 18 Elm Street
We couldn’t leave out Toronto ‘leading spa experience’ which again and again lives up to its illustrious reputation. Located by Yonge and Gerrard, this luxurious oasis from life’s hardships boasts an enormous space, housing four floors of absolute bliss. From their numerous water therapies, massage offerings, a pool-side lounge, sun rooms and much much more, there may not be a better place in the centre of the city to find your long-desired bit of peace.
