At Thermëa spa village, we’re dedicated to fostering a deeper connection with nature, our community, and ourselves. Join us on our journey towards sustainability and wellness, and perhaps find inspiration to integrate these values into your own lifestyle.
This Earth Day, let’s honour our planet by exploring some of the green initiatives that define our spa experience, seamlessly blending nature and wellness into every moment.
Whether it’s in our restaurants or in our boutique, we prioritize local suppliers. You can find soaps made near Chelsea’s Nordik Spa-Nature in our boutique and exfoliating salts made here, in Whitby.
The village offers free charging stations for electric vehicles and bicycle racks to encourage sustainable travel.
Did you know we have our own wood shop and workshop at our headquarters in Gatineau, Quebec? Here, artisans make the furniture and custom pieces that bring life to the spas. In the shop, we reuse old barn wood, and we repurpose metal and pipes. All these touches are not only sustainable but bring an authentic feel to the experience.
All our receipts are sent electronically to eliminate paper waster. Our online gift certificates are also incredibly convenient when it comes to last-minute gifts—no need to run to the shops, just go straight to your inbox!
With our 15 years of experience, we understand the impact that properly designing our mechanical system can have on our energy consumption and, in turn, the environment. Our mechanical rooms are state of the art in terms of energy efficiency and recuperation. We extract energy from the air that’s evacuated from the buildings and from equipment that rejects heat. Three of our saunas—Aromä, Kâbin, Hälo—are also surrounded by soil to insulate them and conserve energy and heat.
In a space where drinking water is so important—after a massage, a sauna session or outside on a sunny day—we’ve made refilling your water bottles as easy as can be. Our refill stations are there to replace plastic water bottles. You can also find refreshment stations around the village for delicious, infused waters.
The village’s landscaping was done with purpose. Every plant was chosen for a specific reason. One of our favourites, lavender, is not only amongst our signature scents but is also a super attractor for beneficial biodiversity, attracting butterflies, bees, dragonflies and ladybugs.
When we can’t find local suppliers, we focus on vendors who share our values and care about sustainability. The company whose products we use during our body care treatments—Comfort Zone—is a Certified B Corporation.
As we reflect on the significance of Earth Day, let’s embrace the opportunity to align our actions with our values. By exploring our green initiatives, both big and small, we contribute to a more sustainable future for our planet and generations to come.

In a world constantly rushing forward, one of the most effective tools for physical and mental wellness has remained quietly rooted in the past. The Finnish sauna—an ancient tradition of passive heat therapy—has stood the test of time, offering not only relaxation but powerful health benefits now backed by a growing body of scientific evidence.
