NORDIC SPA — Take the time to take a break—this is your mantra to stave off the frantic pace of everyday life. Just let go and get away, even if you’re close to home. Strøm wellness centres offer four locations where you can make time stand still for a moment. Reconnect with the quiet strength within you. Rediscover the slowness of the present, one second at a time. Reground yourself in the reality that may be hidden beneath everyday worries. Here, time stands still. The boundaries between outside and inside are blurred. The water’s heat contrasts with the Nordic landscapes. These wellness spaces seem suspended between the remains of key historical locations and our modern lifestyles. You can enjoy the everyday pleasures of deep reflection with an end-of-day cocktail in your bathrobe, wrapped in a blanket beside the outdoor fireplace.

FAVOURITES
The Nat Relaxation Room
The sheer immensity of silence in the heart of total darkness: the Nat (“night”) relaxation room is an ode to darkness and, above all, a meditative and restorative space where silence is golden. For complete relaxation, you lie on the heated black granite beds for about twenty minutes and unwind. When our body is positioned on a hard-levelled bed, its weight is distributed more evenly, providing many benefits, from maximum relaxation of the muscles and nervous system to stimulating blood circulation.
Beach
The beach is flooded with light, both at dawn and when the setting sun turns the landscape gold. Lush vegetation surrounds the relaxation area while leaving a spectacular view of Lac des Nations and the pastel-coloured sunsets that are reflected on the water.
Drøm hanging chair area
This contemplative space invites you to reconnect with the quiet energy of the location. It’s the perfect place to indulge in a moment of tranquility to get in-sync with the infinitely slower pace of the nature around you.
Vieux-Québec: A Year Centred on Balance
REDISCOVER THE RIVER
In the heart of a historic site, the new Strøm Nordic Spa in Old Québec has been created, arguably becoming the most magnificent spa in the province. With the vastness and power as well as the tranquility of the St. Lawrence River, it feels like a place where you can get away from it all. The carefully considered architecture is in harmony with the richness of this special place. The vast, majestic floating pool is surrounded by candles, which brings the experience of floating closer to meditation. An infinity pool for contemplation, a marble steam bath room, an intimate atmosphere: the unique experience culminates in the indoor/outdoor bath—for a journey between darkness and light.

FAVOURITES
Infinity pool
A visit to Strøm Nordic Spa Vieux-Québec is also a chance to be immersed in a site rich in history. Here, at the end of the magnificent Samuel de Champlain Promenade, the infinity pool beside the river evokes the Brown Basin’s heritage as a port.
The Strøm River
An immersive space blurring the boundary between inside and outside, the Strøm River offers a contrast-based circuit. Light and darkness, inside and outside—it’s a fluid experience that stimulates the senses and lets you peacefully drift away.
Floating pool
Evocative of the Dead Sea, the Epsom salt floating pool is made of a dense solution that minimizes the forces of gravity and allows the body to float effortlessly. With a salinity that varies from 25% to 27%, it provides an experience worthy of a dip in the waters of the Dead Sea. With the relaxation of the body and absence of pressure points, floating offers a superlative feeling of relaxation.
