Best Spas in Oakville

"Toronto is the hometown of the Four Seasons brand, so it was especially important that the location here represent the very best of the five-star name. Built in 2012 to replace the somewhat outdated 1960s original, this 55-story tower in the chic Yorkville neighborhood nails the concept of discreet luxury. The lobby is separated into small, lounge-like spaces, including a reception desk that’s tucked away in an alcove under a stunning sculpture of falling flowers."

"Located in the heart of Toronto, Four Seasons Hotel is yet another one of the famous hotels in Toronto. This high-rise, 5-star luxury hotel located in the fashionable shopping quarters and is stationed only 9-min walking from the Royal Ontario Museum. The spacious rooms in this property are sophisticated and adorned with floor-to-ceiling windows and neutral tones."

"Located in the well-heeled Yorkville neighborhood, enjoy many hours navigating some of the city’s most expensive shopping and restaurant options. This luxurious property offers elegant rooms with muted tones and stunning views, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows. The expansive, fully-equipped fitness center features a yoga studio, as well as a pool and a spa."

"Elmwood Spa is perfect for those who are seeking stress relief and relaxation in a peaceful atmosphere. Whether reconnecting with friends, celebrating a milestone, or for personal stress relief and self-renewal, Elmwood Spa is the ideal place to visit. The spa offers a warm, welcoming feel and provides attentive service that allows clients to feel special the moment they walk into the spa."

"There's no need to be alarmed because the Elmwood Spa is quite the opposite of a nightmare on Elm Street. Instead of a horror film you can’t wake up from, the spa is rather a luxurious, beautiful dream that you don’t want to wake from — you know, the ones that you usually have after watching a McDonald’s or Dairy Queen commercial."

"Even checking in for your appointment at the Elmwood Spa is a pleasant experience. Hand towels are at the ready while you prepare for further relaxation. The pristine environment sets the tone for the pampering we all need from time to time."

"When I was looking through the Hammam Spa’s official website, I couldn’t even read nor identify half of the oils and treatments that they provide. I don't know about you, but I take that as a good thing, because we all like exclusive offers, and what’s more exclusive than spa treatments that you haven’t even heard of yet?!. @hammamspaembedded via"

"Golden tones and warm woods welcome stressed out city folk with an urban sanctuary environment. The steam room may be enough to induce relaxation. With light eucalyptus oils circulating through the room, it is the perfect place to be on a cold winter's day (or any day, for that matter)."

"Located in Yorkville, that good ole Toronto neighbourhood that’s fun for window shopping but not actual shopping, the Novo Spa is a 5,000 square-foot natural treatment centre that transforms spa bliss into personal bliss; and this personal bliss doesn’t go away in a couple minutes like a good snack does (I know I’ve been talking about food a lot, okay?! I’ve been thinking about German schnitzel ever since I returned from Europe last week. You understand). @jfmarquessembedded via. With services ranging from couple and individual massages to advanced natural and organic facials, the spa offers luxuries that will cure you just by the sound of it — but, you know, actually going there and getting the actual treatment would be nice, too."

"This Yorkville Spa is home to a practice they call Steam Bed Body Therapies, a process that begins with exfoliating the entire body before laying the client down on a steam bed for a body wrap and foot/head massages. The entire experience mimics the relaxing properties of a traditional steam room, though amped up for the individual."

"If you’re looking for more than just a body massage, SweetGrass Spa offers treatments such as eyelash extensions, hair removal, and hydrotherapy. This women’s only spa offers a unique experience and caters to your every need. SweetGrass Spa has won many awards, including being named one of the Top 50 spas across the nation three years in a row and Top 50 by spAWARD and one of the Top 25 Spas in Canada by Spa Industry Association of Canada."

"Although stress is not gender specific, fear of being seen in a bathing suit often is. Sweetgrass takes away any potential spa stress by catering to women alone. The hot tub and sauna area is reminiscent of a lagoon and a great place to relax before or after a service."

"This women-only spa is home to some of the most relaxing treatments in the city. Stop by to enjoy custom facials, luxurious body treatments, mani/pedis, holistic massages, and more. There’s no better way to spend a day than treating yourself to a trip here!"

"Nontoxic, chemical free and gluten free are terms you may attach to your diet. In 2003, it became descriptions for Elixor Organic Boutique & Spa. Elixor is the perfect location for the health-conscious individual who is aware of the ingredients in (and on) his or her body."

"Elmspa is a hidden gem in the city’s Church and Wellesley district which offers exclusive spa treatments for both men and women. They offer a wide range of different treatments best suited to your preference, such as facials, massages, body treatments, and manicure and pedicure services. They also offer special treatments, such as their LI'TYA healing rituals, and Thai Siam traditional healing massages."

With their traditional Thai-style curtained rooms and soft sheets, the spa is sure to give you one of the best traditional Thai massages you’ve had. Besides the traditional Thai massage, they also offer other add-ons, such as a hot steam compress, aromatherapy oils and even a Swedish massage."

"Yet another breathtaking relaxation station that is much different from the modern spa facility of our generation, the Bahn Thai Spa in downtown Toronto is so much more than vibrant colours and atmospheres. Instantly welcomed with the scent of organic Lemongrass oil upon arrival, customers are offered with a wide selection of spa treatments at this Adelaide Street East location. @bahnthaispaembedded via"

"This gorgeous spot is the place to hit for the traditional Thai Spa experience. You can enjoy all their incredible amenities like organic Lemongrass tea, a Zen relaxation room with bamboo pillows and sheets, and an infrared sauna. You’ll leave the place feeling like a whole new you."

"After indulging in Scaccia’s famous lasagne and other Sicilian classics, stroll over to enjoy a feature film on the silver screen at the Cineplex Varsity Cinemas. Check out Nirvana Home Collection’s chic housewares and furnishings after an invigorating workout at Good Life Fitness. Scour the shelves of the travel and language section of Indigo Books before settling into their cushy couches to enjoy a Starbucks latte."

"Located on the corner of Bay and Bloor, this shopping centre is another great place to get your retail fix. The Manulife Centre is located on what’s known as the “Mink Mile”. It’s an upscale shopping district in Yorkville, along Bloor Street between Avenue Road and Yonge Street."

"The TIFF Lightbox is one of those places that helps to solve the conundrum "I'm bored!" without turning to your Smartphone. This building is set up to allow you to watch all of the film festival favorites, as well as the fantastic films that slip under the radar when the next Avengers movie dominates the box office. There are snacks (guacamole instead of popcorn should become a thing everywhere) and they do not frown at people who see wine as a perfectly viable concession snack."

"Toronto is famous for the Toronto International Film Festival, which delivers as much clout in the sphere of film as the likes of Cannes and Sundance. Although the festival takes place in September, TIFF has a permanent space in the city known as the Lightbox which can be enjoyed all year round. The building houses five public cinemas, two galleries and three learning studios."

"Watching a show or seeing an exhibition at the TIFF is one of the cool things to do in Toronto at night. Photo: Tourism Toronto. Just a block west is HQ of the Toronto International Film Festival."

"Is there anything more summery than a margarita and a giant bowl of guacamole?. Well, there probably are lots of things, but for the purpose of this article let's pretend that is it (I do have a word count, after all). El Catrin is located in the Distillery and the outdoor patio is a mixture of old world charm with modern touches."

"Tucked away in Toronto’s historic Distillery District, this restaurant is not only home to a chic cocktail and Mexican brunch menu, but also a sprawling outdoor patio that’s equipped with aesthetically-pleasing heaters and fire pits. Breakfast margaritas and churros on a cozy patio?"
