If you’re searching for a unique and memorable date idea that blends romance, relaxation, and a touch of luxury, the perfect spot is opening January 18, 2025: Wander The Spa.

Nestled in Prince Edward County on the tranquil shores of West Lake, this Nordic spa—the first lakefront one in Ontario—is a place to disconnect from the everyday and reconnect with each other in a serene setting.

Since opening in 2021, Wander The Resort ‘s one-of-a-kind Canadian cabin resort has received international acclaim as one of the top travel and design destinations in the country—where Nordic design meets County comfort. The addition of the nordic spa culminates an experience of peace and connection for locals and overnight guests alike, as one of the few in the province to offer onsite accommodations.

the ultimate relaxation circuit

Imagine you and your date at this 10,000-square-foot spa, where the thermotherapy circuit invites you to heat up, cool down, and relax while enjoying the stunning lakefront views.

Begin with a hot session (over 100 F) in the 32-seat sauna (dry heat, beneficial for detoxification and improved circulation), steam room (moist heat, beneficial for opening pores and soothing muscles), or hot soak pool (ideal for easing muscle tension).

Next to the steam room, visit the scrub area to exfoliate and refresh your skin before quickly cooling down with a one to three minute cold plunge (50 F) to invigorate the senses and enhance circulation. Rest in the sunken fireside lounge or the Terrace lounge overlooking the spa, with views of sparkling West Lake.

An equally restorative experience, skip the full circuit to spend more time unwinding in any of the amenities, which also include two warm soak pools (98 F); and the temperate dip pool (temperature adjusted to the season), where guests are soothed by the sounds and views of two waterfalls and multiple fireplaces year-round. 

Whisper Beach on West Lake offers 200 feet of waterfront exclusively to spa guests for a natural cold plunge experience, with two more intimate saunas and cozy Hygge Huts nearby.
