Top 50 spas in Canada
Spas of America’s annual ranking of consumer preferences found people sought out outdoor fresh air, outside of most cities, but close to home.
Ontario captured the top three Canada Spas in 2021: Grafton’s Ste. Anne’s Spa was No. 1, the Elora Mill Hotel & Spa in Elora was No. 2, and Collingwood’s Scandinave Spa Blue Mountain was No. 3. British Columbia spas rounded out the top five: Victoria’s Boathouse Spa and Baths at the Oak Bay Beach Hotel was No. 4 and Vancouver’s Willow Stream Spa at the Fairmont Pacific Rim was No. 5. With 18 spas, Ontario had the most spas in the Top 50 Canada Spas of 2021, while British Columbia followed with 15 spas. Quebec had eight spas, Alberta had six, Saskatchewan had two, and Manitoba had one.
“With over 500 acres of rolling hills and lush cedar forest, Ste. Anne’s Spa has been an ideal respite for people seeking to getaway. Years ago, we adopted a mission to ‘Bring the power of healing through human touch to the world,’” says Ste. Anne’s owner and general manager Jim Corcoran. “It seems as though this resonates today more than ever and in these challenging times.”
“For the Canadian spa and wellness industry, 2021 was a challenging but good year, with many hotel and resort spas reporting strong revenue, despite staffing challenges,” says Spas of America president Craig Oliver. “Consumers were affected by a partially opened economy and changing national and provincial travel guidelines, which created uncertainty. In turn, consumers responded by supporting regional and local spa and wellness businesses, especially drive-to destinations. Moving forward, we expect a strong year for the industry in Canada, as pent-up demand will bring out consumers seeking exciting spa and wellness experiences with a focus on fitness, health, and an improved quality of life.”
