Icelandic thermal pools. Turkish baths. Finnish saunas. Around the world people have been harnessing the power of water to heal the body and soothe the soul.

Sadly, few of us have the time or expense account to take advantage of these international delights. Enter Spa Scandinavie.

Beside the majestic Saint Laurent River in the Old Port of Montreal, and up a short flight of stone steps you'll find yourself in a gracious grey building. Flickering candles, soft piano music, silk covered cushions and a friendly and knowledgeable staff set a tone of relaxation. Give in to Spa Scandinavie’s mission to offer a haven for personal renewal, healing and peace.

Come to experience the baths and they’ll throw in a eucalyptus steam bath, a Finnish sauna, a hydrojet bath, a thermal waterfall, a cold bath, and a Nordic shower. Plan to spend at least two hours to truly experience the therapeutic benefits of a water spa.

Need more juice to fully recharge? Add some massage to your spa time. Choose from Swedish, deep tissue, hot stone or lomi-lomi techniques.

Reserve ahead and Spa Scandinave will have your towels, robes and sandals waiting for you. The only thing you have to bring is your swimsuit, and a little bit of time for you.

Tap into hydro-power and set your relax meter on high.
