Lead Writer, Travel

If you're in need of some pampering, then you might want to plan a winter trip to this spa near Toronto. With snowy views and relaxing amenities, this all-inclusive spa makes for a dreamy winter getaway with friends or a loved one.

Ste. Anne's Spa is an "1800's heritage fieldstone country castle" located in Grafton, about 90 minutes from downtown Toronto. The health and wellness facility has all-inclusive packages available year-round, and you can spend a few days or just a day rejuvenating here.

The spa sits on 500 acres of land strewn with trails and gardens. You can explore the countryside and reconnect with nature during your stay. The overnight accommodations include historic rooms in the main inn as well as cottage retreats for bigger groups.

There are over 35 spa treatments offered, such as body wraps, facials, massages, and seasonal treatments.

If you're looking for a body treatment, you can enjoy services like the Customized Body Scrub, which includes a "gentle exfoliation for your entire body" and a relaxation massage with nourishing body butter.

There's also the Moor Mud Hydro Wrap, where you'll get to enjoy a "body masque of Moor Mud and an exfoliation" as well as a hydrotherapy tub and hydro-massage.

Depending on your package, you'll have total access to the spa's facilities and can enjoy things like meditative and therapeutic hydrotherapy pools, a warming room, a eucalyptus inhalation room, and a fire circle where you can stay toasty in the English Walled Garden. The chilly winter weather won't bother you as you lounge in the hot tubs with waterfalls.

During the fall and winter months, you can enjoy a number of wellness classes. These range from sunrise yoga to HIIT bootcamp, a Nordic pole walk and guided walk.

Ste. Anne's Bakery has tons of gluten-free goodies, and you can enjoy sweet treats, teas, and coffees as well as savoury dishes like quiche and wraps.

The dining room and seasonal patio offers a range of meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can start you day off with dishes like eggs Benedict, crème brûlée French toast and almond milk blueberry pancakes.

For lunch, the menu features a braised beef sandwich, vegan burger, daily soup, lamb ragu and more.

The 4-course dinner includes options like crispy skin pork belly, duck confit and wild mushroom gnocchi.

You can even enjoy afternoon tea, available in several different tasting menus. The regular sampler has three tiers of treats including smoked salmon pastries, cranberry scones, chocolate coffee brownies and seasonal shortbread.

Packages for day and overnight visits are available online, and prices vary depending on the season, room, and duration of your stay.

There are several other winter spas around Toronto to check out during the chilly season as well. Vettä Nordic Spa is a recently-opened Finnish venue featuring a rejuvenating hydrotherapy circuit, wood-burning saunas and more.

You can also check out the Elora Mill & Spa where you can enjoy sweeping views of the Elora Gorge and endless pampering.

With sparkling snowy views, tranquil surroundings and cozy accommodations, this all-inclusive spa is a magical spot for a winter retreat. Whether you're planning a getaway with friends, a loved one or a romantic escape, this spa is a dreamy winter destination.
