Take your pick: adrenaline packed or slow and contemplative?
Published on Oct 9, 2025
As the days start to shorten and our hectic lifestyles quiet down a bit, we often feel the urge to pamper ourselves. And if there’s a venue ideally suited for just this, it’s Spa Eastman, in the Eastern Townships. Recently named Canada’s Best Wellness Retreat at the 2025 World Spa Awards, this wellness centre has become a national reference when it comes to relaxation, reconnecting and renewing our energy.
For close to 50 years now, Spa Eastman, just an hour’s drive from Montréal, has been welcoming guests who truly wish to slow down for a while. Here, you’ll discover a wellness approach that encompasses all aspects of your holistic health in a soothing, unpretentious environment.
Those who come to Spa Eastman are looking for more than just a restful pause. Each stay is designed to help you reconnect with yourself and leave with some simple tools you’ll be able to use in your daily life.
Between October and January, Spa Eastman will offer more than 25 different retreats. These short stays allow participants to explore several themes: mindfulness, nutrition, movement, creativity, yoga, stress management. . . All the activities are carried out under the guidance of experts and in an ambiance where both sharing and listening take centre stage.
The groups are small, thus providing a more personalized accompaniment. Each retreat combines guided content, private time, well-planned meals, and a peaceful environment. You’ll find a healthy balance between structure and freedom, with no pressure.
Pssst. . . Our retreats are designed for all levels, whether you’re curious about the concept or a regular visitor. Several options are available, including weekday formulas.
Need some alone time? The Cocooning Package is perfect for a personalized stay with no set schedule. In addition to having access to the installations and Tonique™ cuisine meals, it includes a treatment or a massage per night’s stay.
You’ll be able to choose from a wide range of cares. Kinesiology, naturopathy, facials, targeted massages. . . You can create an experience that will meet your needs of the moment. An absolute must, Watsu, a treatment carried out in warm water while your body floats, guided by a therapist. Indeed, deeply appeasing.
Spa Eastman also offers a Digital Detox Add-On option. The idea is quite simple: You leave your electronic devices at the reception when you arrive. In exchange, you’ll enjoy a 30-minute treatment. You can opt either for an invigorating Neurospa—Energizing Power Nap or a relaxing pampering session.
This simple act allows guests to experience a sense of true calm. They can read, walk, observe, and feel more present. Very often, they realize they don’t need to be so connected all the time.
This prestigious award confirms what many have already discovered about our venue. Spa Eastman is much more than a relaxation centre. It’s a space where you can truly take care of yourself in depth, inside an inspiring setting, surrounded by mindful people.
Are you looking for a refreshing pause, a new start, or simply some time to unwind? Spa Eastman is the perfect destination for taking a moment to relax your way.
