FAQ’s - Nordic Spa
Our Nordic spa blends heat, cold, rest, and nature to help you unwind, reconnect, and enjoy the moment. We're proud to be one of the only social Nordic spas in Atlantic Canada - a space where wellness meets connection, and relaxation doesn't have to mean silence.
-
You do not have to be an overnight guest at the resort to experience Hope-Wellness. We offer full day or half day passes for guests interested in enjoying our Nordic spa space, which includes an outdoor bar, sauna, cold plunge, relaxation dome, and year-round saltwater pool heated at 90°F.

This is not a silent spa atmosphere - we encourage socializing and connecting with all that surrounds us. For a silent space to meditate and relax, check out our yoga dome. Sign up for our newsletter for updates on special "Whispering Wednesday" sessions for a quieter lounging experience.

Yes! We offer a great selection of cocktails, mocktails, local beer, and wine at our outdoor bar, along with a small bites menu perfect for light snacking. You're welcome to bring your own food, but outside alcohol is not permitted, as our Nordic Lounge is a licensed area.
-
The thermal cycle is a rejuvenating experience inspired by traditional Nordic spa practices. It typically involves moving through phases of heat (our wood-fired sauna), cold (our cold plunge), and rest (our all-season heated pool or cozy fire pits) to help boost circulation, ease muscle tension, and promote deep relaxation. At Hope-Wellness, the thermal cycle is completely optional - follow the full cycle, or simply relax your own way.
-
We're open in all four seasons, offering unique experiences year-round - from steamy winter saunas to sunset summer soaks. Our hours may vary slightly throughout the year, and we often extend hours during the summer months.
