About Us

Building on its 15 years as a pioneer in the wellness industry, Groupe Nordik is illustrious in its sphere. Martin Paquette and Daniel Gingras—owners of Groupe Nordik—are visionaries of the spa world as well as friends, entrepreneurs and wellness fanatics. Having left their old lives behind, they invested themselves in creating a haven in the heart of nature in the picturesque village of Old Chelsea, Quebec. What began as Nordik Spa-Nature, became the largest spa in North America. Thermëa by Nordik Spa-Nature in Winnipeg followed. And the novel concept of spa village was introduced in Whitby with the first Thermëa spa village.

The evolution of the brand identity to better illustrate the principle of the spa village is part of Groupe Nordik’s vision. The novel concept combines unique experiences inspired by rituals found around the world on a site with a distinctly Canadian character, where nature is prominent, and modernity meets accents of the past. We have transformed the traditional spa experience into a complete wellness village. A place which is familiar, feels like home, allows guests to reconnect with friends, and family, relax and escape the hectic pace of modern life.

“Thermëa spa village is the culmination of 15 years of guest experience and extensive research, including travel to unique and renowned establishments from around the world. Each spa village will become an icon, unique to the community in which it is built.” explains Martin Paquette, President, CEO and co-owner of Groupe Nordik. “From the mindful integration into the natural surroundings, to the rustic buildings of the sauna village and the variety of meticulously crafted experiences, Thermëa spa village is a place where you can escape not far from home. Every detail thoughtfully crafted is dedicated to all things wellness: a haven for your body, mind and soul.”
