We live in an era when it should be easy to pause. Just one click and you can stop notifications, pause your show, or silence your devices. And yet, paradoxically it’s never been harder to disconnect, slow down, and mute the noise that surrounds us.
“Now more than ever, we are being pulled in a million directions,” says Krista Long, Marketing and Sales Manager of Scandinave Spa Blue Mountain. “With technology as it is, there’s an expectation that we will respond immediately, which can make it harder to truly relax.”
The four pillars that distinguish Scandinave as a leader in the thermal spa community are silence, disconnection from technology, reconnection with nature, and their four iconic settings across Canada.
“Scandinave Spa Blue Mountain will defy your expectations of what relaxation looks and feels like,” adds Krista.
Nestled within a 25-acre parcel of natural hardwood forest with expansive views of the Niagara Escarpment, Scandinave Spa Blue Mountain allows its guests to reconnect with nature while journeying through cycles of hot, cold, and relaxation installations for a retreat that invigorates the mind and body distraction-free.
Disconnect
“Escaping the constant flow of notifications and distractions allows you to create space to reconnect with yourself and savour the present moment alone, with friends or a loved one,” says Krista.
Our stress can often stem from over-stimulation and the fact that we’re constantly “on.” Which is why Scandinave has also become a coveted retreat for those seeking solitude.
Quiet
A visit to Scandinave isn’t just an invitation to relax. In fact, it’s more than a spa – it is a space to come, relax in silence, and disconnect under the peaceful hush of the surrounding trees.
“When life’s noise starts to affect your mental and physical health, Scandinave is here, waiting to whisk you away from the demands and reinvigorate your mind and body.”
Escape
While Scandinave is open year-round, the spa is a particular gem in spring and summer, when it is a perfect place to find true peace amidst the fresh air and vibrant energy of nature’s awakening.
Visit the thermal journey on Unwind Wednesdays for the spa’s trademark experience at a special price. To extend your relaxation, combine your spa day with one of Scandinave’s Getaway Packages and stay overnight at a local accommodation, and spend more time exploring the region.
If your goal is to make wellness more routine, the spa also offers seasonal memberships.
“Our memberships are an opportunity for people to really integrate spa visits into their wellness ritual, taking advantage of the facilities as part of their daily or weekly routine.”
Give yourself permission to press pause and embrace the healing power of silence at Scandinave Spa Blue Mountain.
