Relaxing Staycations
Sometimes the best gifts aren’t things, but time well spent. These gifts invite relaxation, connection, and a break from the day-to-day. Pick up a gift card or book a day at some of our favourite places to relax and unwind.
Give your Valentine (and yourself) the gift of relaxation at Thermea Spa Village. With a selection of thermal pools and saunas, it’s an experience designed to melt stress away and help you reset from your busy routines. Add on the Kalla experience to float in the salt water pool, or book them a massage. They deserve it.
A quiet retreat in the middle of the city, the Hammam spa is inspired by traditional rituals that encourage deep relaxation and rejuvenation. Promote healing with a steam ritual, specialty massage, or a body wrap that will have them feeling refreshed.
Extend the relaxation with a spa day and stay at Wander. Perfect for reconnecting and unwinding with some well-deserved downtime. Choose from a day or night time spa pass, add on treatments and massages, and step into stillness with Wander.
