Manoir Hovey can be found nestled at the end of a peaceful country road, in North Hatley. This century-old property, transformed to become a hotel Relais & Châteaux, is beautifully set within a forest and lake environment. The domain has added a new chapter to its already rich history with their contemporary Nordic spa, inspired by the surrounding nature.
Located only a few steps away from Lake Massawippi, Manoir Hovey’s spa invites guests to enjoy a soothing relaxation moment. An interlude of warmth, silence and inner wellness. A place to totally unwind… for real!
Imagine sliding into an outdoor hot tub with the sun gently dancing on the waves of the lake. All around, mature trees softly filter the light. A few minutes later, you head to the dry sauna or the hammam, depending on your mood of the moment. You’ll continue with a cold shower and a restful moment on a heated lounger… And then, you’ll start the whole process over again!
The thermal circuit was designed to perfectly integrate the site with its discreet architecture, warm materials and an ever-present view overlooking the lake. Whether it’s for a couple of hours, or for an extended stay, you’ll leave lighthearted, relaxed and elsewhere in your mind.
The spa also offers a complete range of wellness treatments. Relaxing or therapeutic massages, facials, wraps… Here, we care for your body, but also for your spirit. The products used by our care specialists were carefully selected, respecting the establishment’s ecological values.
To extend your feeling of well-being, Manoir Hovey has recently inaugurated its Pavillon du Lac. This new building, neighbouring the spa, features elegant, modern rooms, all opening out onto nature. The ambiance here is warm and cozy, conducive to pure relaxation.
You’ll also enjoy the site’s common spaces immersed in light, perfect for pausing between two thermal circuits. And for those who hope to enjoy a bit of a workout, several activities are proposed on a daily basis, including yoga, canoe, kayak, paddleboard, or bicycle outings… All this is included in your stay.
For a half-century now, Manoir Hovey has been managed by one same family. This seamless continuity is what defines the domain’s soul. You’ll receive a warm, attentive welcome, always in tune with your needs. People come here to relax, but also to feel they are being heard and cared for. In fact, the new spa was conceived in keeping with this tradition: taking care of people in a refined, natural setting. Here, everything is calm, carefully designed and tailored to a human scale.
Whether you’re staying at the Manoir or just passing through the region, the new spa is accessible to everyone. You can come here for a few hours to unwind without having to book accommodations. Treatments, thermal pools, views overlooking the lake... everything is designed to offer you a moment of well-being, at your own pace.
