Best Girls Getaway in Ontario – Fun, Relaxation & Adventure

Best Spa & Wellness Retreats for a Girls’ Getaway

What’s a girls’ trip without some serious R&R? Ontario is overflowing with spa resorts, wellness retreats, and rejuvenating sanctuaries designed for total relaxation. Whether you’re looking to zen out in a robe, sip herbal tea by a fireplace, or soak in a Scandinavian hot pool under the stars, the province offers options that blend luxury with nature.

Some of the top wellness escapes include:

• Spa resorts in Muskoka, Blue Mountain, or Prince Edward County with full-service treatments, cozy accommodations, and scenic views that calm your soul the moment you arrive.
• Thermal spas and hot-cold circuits like Scandinave Spa (in both Blue Mountain and Whistler), where silence and serenity let you fully unplug and unwind.
• Yoga and meditation retreats offering multi-day programs, forest bathing, sound therapy, or even digital detox weekends. These are perfect for slowing down and reconnecting with yourself and your friends.
• For a quick fix, visit urban day spas or wellness boutiques in cities like Toronto or Ottawa—ideal if your weekend is short but your self-care needs are high.

No matter the season, spa time is always a win when it comes to girls' getaways.
