Is there parking available?
Is there a time limit while I am at the spa?

Your Hydrothermal Journey Access includes a dedicated locker with limited access of 3-hours to ensure we are never overcrowded. If you wish to extend your stay with us, please inquire with reception on the day of your visit and if capacity is available, we would be pleased to accommodate you at a modest additional fee. Please be respectful of this timeframe as any lingering will impact the guest experience of someone waiting to fill the locker and space as you vacate.

Bathing suits are mandatory, so ensure you bring that with you. We also encourage you to pack sunscreen, sunglasses, and perhaps a hat (toque for winter visits). You may also purchase many of these items from our boutique. We provide to every guest a robe, non-slip sandals, and towels at no additional cost.
