Nordik Spa Village's Blog

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.

Who says you need an entire day off to treat yourself? Give happy hour a whole new meaning with a 5 to 9 after your 9 to 5 at Nordik Spa Village. Clock out, head over, and swap traffic for good food, cold drinks and warm laughs. You don’t have to live for the weekend when your weekday evenings can look like this.

Close enough for a spontaneous weekend or midweek getaway, yet far enough to feel like a complete escape from the hustle of city life, this journey leads to Old Chelsea, a charming slice of paradise nestled in Gatineau Park. At the heart of this retreat lies Nordik Spa Village Chelsea, North America’s largest spa, an experience that’s absolutely worth the drive.

Nordik Spa Village in Chelsea, where the phrase “Elsewhere is here” takes on its full meaning. As a former employee, I had the chance to enjoy the place from a privileged perspective. What I discovered there, beyond the baths and saunas, was the power of well-being through gastronomy. A day of “me time” is a must, and I can guarantee that it’s worth it.

Nordik Spa Village Chelsea is not only appreciated for its thermal experience, rituals, massages, treatments and location in the heart of nature, but also for its diverse gastronomic offerings. If you thought you were already spoiled by the warm elegance of Le Resto, the inviting atmosphere of the Lounge, and the summer menu at the Shack, you’ll be surprised by a brand new experience that exceeds all expectations: the Chef’s Table.
