Submerge yourself in peace and calm
With a million lakes and rivers, not to mention the immense St. Lawrence, it's no surprise that water plays a key role at many Québec spas. You can choose from a single treatment or package lasting a few hours in the city or region you're visiting, or opt for a relaxing getaway lasting several days at a tourist resort. Many establishments offer treatments and accommodations amid tranquil and natural oases in every season. Our search engine offers about a hundred centres providing an impressive range of quality treatments. The important thing is that you take it e-a-s-y...
Spoil yourself!
Abandon yourself to pure comfort and relaxation at one of the spas certified under the Spas Relais santé network. Let yourself be pampered while enjoying all the pleasure of resort vacationing. Members of this association follow a code of professional conduct and observe strict quality standards. You can't go wrong! Or visit one of the cozy and enchanting hotels or inns that are part of the Québec Resorts & Country Inns network. In addition to fine dining, many of them offer their guests relaxation treatments.
